Elixir Bistro

Excellent service and great food. Had the scallops, goat salad and veal all very very good. Thre chef’s main forte is the sauces! They are excellent. Try anything with a sauce I’m sure you can’t go wrong

Good food… a bit slow of service but good food. Very pricy. Only 20 or so tables. I would go back.

Last months date night Friday was spent in this cozy, unassuming restaurant, in the heart of downtown Cambridge. My husband always have high praises for this restaurant after having dinner here with his parents. I’ve never tried their food until that night, at first glance, I thought they we’re closed. But after peeking closely, the restaurant was almost full with 2 – 3 tables left. The two waitresses we’re very obliging and seated us immediately. You might think the service would suffer because there were just two of them, but they are very efficient. My husband ordered his favourite appetizer, escargot and I tried some of it, with the bread that they offered, it was totally delicious! I couldn’t stop dipping my bread in the creamy black sauce of the escargot. Then off to the main course, that night they had Beef Bourguignon as their special, my husband ordered that and I ordered the Duck confit. The food is amazing, literally the tenderness of the duck meat falling off the bones and the pineapple sauce was so delectable! Also, my husband and I shared each others order and one bite of that slow cooked beef bourguignon was enough to send you to foodie heaven! The only thing I regret is ordering the Martini because a pinot grigio would definitely have complimented that dish more! I look forward to more date nights here!
