Do yourself a favor and hit this spot! Drinks are on point & not overpriced, appetizers are all amazing and the food is top notch. Great service and great atmosphere. Try the wellington, wings and smoked old fashioned with a double of jack daniels bonded. Oh, and the bacon wrapped dates!

We had reservations. It's recommended to have one. The ribeye steak was delicious. For dessert, the brownie with ice cream (huge scoop).

Cozy & casual! The food is plentiful & tasty. Fish & Chips was crunchy and not too greasy. The fish was a nice thick fillet. The tartar sauce was homemade & thick. The garlic peas flavorful & unique. Service was excellent and the dining area was fun & lively. Glad to have tried & will return for sure!

This is a gastropub and the food is truly good. Everything from the lamb shank to the meatloaf to the ribeye steak. It's worth the money that you pay. It's delicious! They even have an ice cream place right next door. This is a great place to go. Has a lot of options for everybody

I love this place the food is always great and even when it's crowded, the food comes out fast! This past visit left us seated in the wrong requested area, in addition to that no one informed our server that there was another customer seated in their section. That added a bunch of time to even get drinks ordered. Once our food came, we requested ranch which the server didn't bring for about 15 mins. So unfortunately, though the food came out delicious and the atmosphere was wonderful, eating cold fries in ranch sucks any where.

Absolutely delicious authentic South African food! Mixed in the menu are also several American dishes, so it allows the less adventurist diner to try some menu items while having the safety of ribeye steak, etc. Service level from Audrey was excellent. Give them a try and come hungry! It might be helpful if the menu highlighted the authentic South African dishes better.

Amazing Rib Eye, the braised Ox Tail in a rich gravy was excellent and perfectly cooked. It comes with garlic mashed and their veggies. Delicious and a must-try if you love Ox tails.

Went there on a,Saturday night and it was busy but we had reservations. The drinks were really good, there were 3 of us, one meal was not fully cooked but they took it back and we got a substitute meal. Their beef stroganoff was really good and could easily feed 2 people. All servers were gracious and our guy David was really nice. Because there was an issue with one meal they comped a dessert which was really yummy. I had never had butter cake, it was a huge serving with a mountain of whipped cream and a large scoop of vanilla ice cream. The 3 of us tried to eat it all but were stuffed. This was our first time at The Eldo and we will definitely be going back.
