Eli's Orange

The first time I visited Eli's, I saw the owner on TV discussing the menu and showcasing some of their dishes. I decided we should give it a try, and I wasn't disappointed. The Brussels sprouts were fantastic, and my friend really enjoyed the burger she ordered.

Service and drinks were good. Unfortunately, their kitchen closes too early and they only offer apps. Not sure how late it closes. We were hoping at 9:00.

Drinks must be the main draw to come here because the food was far too expensive for us. $12 pretzel $15 wings. I get supply chain issues and they had a disclaimer on the menu.

Wheelchair Accessibility: Yes Parking: Parking lot Atmosphere: Friendly, bar side seating or restaurant This location is one of 6 locations across CT—Milford, Hamden-2, Orange, Manchester, and Branford Take out or dine-in is available The menu: American with an Italian twist. They offer brunch, lunch, dinner, and late-night selections. What I liked: The staff were friendly, the Broccoli Rabe with sausage is my favorite item but may not always be on the menu. The food is very good so you shouldn’t be disappointed in anything. Bar/Alcohol: Beer selection is ok, not really big but includes local brewery options as well as cans. Summary: Overall we really enjoyed our visit to Eli’s. It is a great place to meet up with friends, stop in for a drink and wings, or have a full dinner meal.

My experience at the sports bar was overall positive. The food was decent, and the service was good. However, many beer options I tried to order were unavailable. The waitress was fantastic, making multiple trips to check what they actually had in stock.
