We enjoyed the atmosphere, and the funky art. The food is more on the pricey side, but it’s good food. The freshness and quality is there. Highly recommend the Barnyard Burger. The Korean Fried Chicken bowl had good flavour, the rice was a bit lacking and seemed to have taken away from the dish. But, the rest of it made up for it. The truffle fries were also a hit. Would definitely return again.

6 for lunch. Started with the Truffle Fries to share around while we waited for our mains. Also because the wonderful smell of truffles was on the air. The service was friendly, attentive but on overly so. Everyone was happy with their choices which included the Korean burger, Chicken Club, and the Black & Blue.Beverage wise, those who ordered cocktails were happy. There were some craft beers on tap that were unfamiliar to me and the server was quick to offer me a sample of a couple.

This little restaurant is a place where no matter what food or drinks you order, you know it will be amazing. Not a bad thing on the menu and the staff could not be any more accommodating than they are. Highly recommend! We will most definitely be going back.

I've been to the EL Cobourg a number of times, and each time both service and food was consistently stellar. Among the sea of franchised restos, this gem is the kind of European dining experience I'm after. The wait for good food well prepared, rather than banged on a grill from the freezer, has never been overly long when I've been there. The service every single time has been wonderful. Chill, relaxed interactions with wait staff who offer excellent recommendations on drinks to go with your food choices and who are attentive and friendly. They don't chase you out after your meal, even though they are often busy and fully booked. I find it interesting that many reviews refer to the expense of the food, Priced (slightly) higher than franchises, sure, but with so much more bounce for the ounce, it doesn't bear comparing.I aim to try everything on the menu, but the Truffle fries should be on the table always, Caesar Salad was perfect and the Fish Tacos are to die for. My pals and I now have an understanding the we will always order Fish Tacos to share, as an appetizer along with our mains. Cocktails and Mocktails are great, but I prefer wine and their beer selection is wonderful. I think they've nailed the whole vibe. Local biz values, happy staff means good management and they survived the pandemic closures, a phenomenal feat. I wish them years and years of success as I intend to keep them on speed dial! No pics this time, food was gone too fast... maybe next time.

Traveling through the area, on our way home to Maine, and we were looking for a good spot to eat… So glad we chose The El. Lovely patio, service was great & very friendly, welcoming vibe. Huge bonus, the patio was dog friendly & our server treated our dog like a valued guest (which we appreciate!). Food was delicious. Perfect cheeseburger! Cocktails were high quality & so well made! Highly recommend the Lavender Haze. Would absolutely make this a regular visit if we lived near.

Fantastic place with the friendliest staff. It was busy so I recommend making a reservation if you go during the weekend. Great food and delicious mocktail options

There is something about small cozy restaurants in small towns that is so charming.We chose to sit inside rather than out on the patio. And it was the right decision. Literally 5 minutes later we had the worst thunderstorm pass.The small, but cozy, interior made it a nice setting. The beers on tap were all craft beer. Great ones at that. The menu was limited, but good selection.The portions were good with food that tickled the taste buds.Service was very cheerful and friendly.Definitely worth visiting again foebthe overall experience

Cute place and patio, nice design inside the restaurant with interesting art pieces. Very good food, we had shrimp tacos and guacamole; yummy truffle fries just wish they put aioli truffle on the side instead of putting it on the fries.Great service too.
