Elate

Editorial Review

Occupying the first floor of the boutique Hotel Felix, Elate seems to have as many focuses on food as the hotel offers rooms. Small plates, extravagant comfort foods, eco-friendly dishes, bar snacks, the restaurant offers them all and more in a rustic-meets-modern space with antique mirrors, reclaimed herringbone oak, tall windows and a long zigzag bar that maximizes space for the after-work crowd in suits. Chef Randal Jacobs (DeLaCosta) does the charcuterie table thing, offering artisan-cured meats and cheeses, but we say go for the market-fresh oysters, the octopus pastrami or the shaved pork baguette.
