Ate at Eloise for the first time last night, a friend treated me for my birthday. We made it special, and an opportunity to sample more dishes, by having the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing.
Our five courses included the octopus/sardine starter, swiss chard gnocchi with brown butter, sweetbreads (a first for us) with a wonderful cider-bacon sauce, skate (the evening special) with a sauce Grenoblise, and for dessert, two things to try: panna cotta with fresh red grapefruit and candied grapefruit, and a lovely lemon crepe. As full as we were that crepe had us squirming in our seats, it was so delightful.
I really enjoyed the evening at Eloise and hope to go back.

Check out their Recession Special on Wednesday: Wallet feeling a little light these days? Come on in Wednesday nights and take advantage of this deal: Three-course menu for the paltry sum of $35 dollars. In addition, we are waving our corkage fee.

I have dinned in 11 countries. Eloise gave me one of the most enjoyable experience of my life. Eloise is a must for anyone with a sense of adventure in food. And a must for anyone who appreciates perfect service. Thank you so much Eric and Ginevra..I will be back.

Comment: So glad to see that others are enjoying it as we did last weekend. Felt like the room was packed, but all was running smoothly–waitstaff were kind, funny and seemed to be sparking off the energy of the busy night. For veg, try the puntarelle starter–hey, hey greens you can really sin your teeth into. And fish lovers, the fish stew, so satifying. Carnivores MUST ABSOLUTELY order the bone marrow, verdict is out and I am only reiterating what others have said, but this is a mouth-watering treat! Bravo to chef/owners and we wish them the best. Thank you for working hard to stay open 6 days a week! Incredible!

Comment: West County now has a restaurant that really measures up. A totally wonderful experience, from the moment we walked through the door. On Saturday, the bar tender greeted us with a genuine Hello in an Aussie voice and paid attention to us throughout the meal, as he appears to double as the sommelier. The hostess was polite, yet friendly. Our waitress was VERY good, always accommodating and able to make useful suggestions on menu choices. (Note: She was from WCG. Too bad she never waited on us there.) The entire staff seemed to be at our service, but it was completely unobtrusive, just as you would like. Started with one of their Bellini’s made with fresh fruit from their garden behind the restaurant. Yum! The food was wonderful, far more than we were expecting. Yes, we were hoping for the best, but so many have disappointed us in the recent past. We enjoyed the foie gras, hamachi sashimi, and the leek au gratin for starters. The veal chop was as good as previously reported, and there was a nice cassoulet special, too. Yes, the wine list is small, but it is quite servicable and we found a Hamel Pinot Noir that was exceptional. They have hit the ground running. This was a great experience for us and we will return. We wish this new restaurant much success and a long run. Glad you are here. We need you.

Comment: We (3 of us) at there last night and loved it. 2 of us don’t eat meat and had no problems. I thought the prices were pretty reasonable considering the imagination and quality. jm

Comment: We ate there last night, as a matter of fact I think our party was seated next to Bite Club and Mom. Nicely remodelled space, GREAT food and excellent service, on the pricey side but worth it – especially if you are in the mood to splurge. Don’t let this review give you the impression that the place is all meat all the time – I don’t eat any beef or pork and still found plenty to choose from on the menu. The Gnocchi was sublime. For those moaning the demise of West County Grill, I urge you to check out Eloise. We’ll be back soon.
Response: Uh oh. My inner T-Rex is showing. Thanks for the input. You’re right.

Comment: Good for them. I work in the industry, live in Sebastopol, and I am really hoping to see this restaurant succeed. I know someone who works there who has said how lovely and kind all of the staff is, and how great it feels to work there. Higher-end dining is a scary proposition in Sebastopol, for owners as well as the servers and bartenders and cooks who put their hopes into a place that charges more than a few bucks per plate. I hope there are as many locals as there are tourists who will come and enjoy this restaurant and make all of Restaurant Eloise’s efforts worthwhile. Can’t wait to get in myself for dinner.
