I had my daughter’s wedding here this past Sunday. The owner worked with us on everything that we needed. Our server Anna checked in with us 2 weeks prior to the event to get everything finalized. Her and the rest of the staff did an amazing job! The food had great flavor. The bride and groom were very happy how everything turned out. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. Would definitely recommend to others and we will be returning if we need to have another big event.

It was the worst experience. We had an engagement party, and everyone was left hungry because there wasn’t enough food. For 120 people, there were only two waiters, and at 9:30, they took away everything.

We had a nice experience with Elli. Armen is straightforward and transparent. The venue accommodated our 150 guests very comfortably with enough room to host a 14 person Banda on the stage, Dj, Photo Booth, and bar. We reserved the venue all day and they had the tables and linens set up for our vendors early in the morning. We have been to three events at Elli and our own wedding was the fourth. They recently upgraded their bar, paint, and added a privacy wall, all of which we appreciated. We placed our sweetheart table at the other side of that privacy wall to leave the stage for our band. I think this placed us at the “front” of the venue perfectly and the floral wall was a nice added touch to our photos. Kate the coordinator is God sent. She was an angel and Armen’s greatest asset to his team. Food was delicious and hot, we actually had to cool it down, which is a rare occurrence for served dinners with this many guests. Although the parking lot right next door is reserved for Valet, they kindly allowed us to park there for free in order to accommodate our daughter’s wheelchair. The lot for our guests was just a short walk directly across the street. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. The A/C in the summer heat was lowered considerably to make our dancing guests extra comfortable. And for us, the entire place was ADA accessible.
Overall, we had an enjoyable experience and time. If I could recommend one thing, it would be to reconsider the security guard named Alex.

We had such an incredible time having our wedding reception at Elli banquet. The food and service were excellent. There were no surprises, everything went according to plan, our guests were left delighted, and we were given a lot of flexibility to design our event the way we wanted to. Huge props to the team.

Hosted my baby shower here and it was so lovely! Armen (owner) & Bibi (our server) were very attentive and helped me make my event go as smooth as possible! On the day of, Bibi was a one woman show and she was SO nice/amazing. She made sure to clean up promptly after my guests and tend to our needs. The venue is beautiful inside and has its own bathroom. The food was so delicious and they let you take home leftovers if there are any. I had the: green salad, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, beef lasagna, calamari and upgraded to salmon. I also added the tiramisu dessert which was SO GOOD! The only thing on my part was I thought the food was a buffet / unlimited but it was just served buffet style. I just wish I had clarified this because I ended up having to order more food when a few of my guests came late because there was none left. Just be mindful of this when booking and I suggest ordering more than you need if you know your guests eat a lot. I would definitely consider having future events here! Thank you for a great experience :)Parking: There's street parking that I know can be hard to find on some days and there's valet right next door for $16.

We had my daughters quinceañera at Elli Banquet. We had a total of 120 people plus a live band, DJ, Photo Booth, bartender and buffet table and still felt comfortable with the space. The owner, Armen, is a good dude; he's a bit stoic but overall a nice guy. The venue was very nice and clean. The food was delicious. Everything was in good working order. The servers that day were very nice and accommodating although they could be a bit more proactive.My only gripe is that I didn't fully know EVERYTHING that the hall offered and therefore I spent extra money on things that I didn't have to. Example: the hall has a full bartender setup.Overall it's a great place for an event. Our family and friends enjoyed the celebration and we will cherish the memories.

We had a great sweet 16 party, all of the guests and especially my birthday girl was very happy. Your Elli room is absolutely beautiful and elegant. Anna is above and beyond, she's always there whenever I need help, she's efficient, prompt, detail oriented, knowledgeable, professional and friendly, I have nothing bad to say about her, except she's the best host I've ever worked with. The food was good, good varieties, tiramisu is the bomb! I'll definitely refer Pinocchio to my friends.

I was here for a friend's 50th birthday party. The total number of guests is 100 I think ( I counted the tables - 10 each and 10 tables), I think that is the max ( for me) because anything more than that will look crowded. Drinks and appetizers were served on each table (calamari, ceviche and I honestly don't know what it's called but it looks like tiny pizzas). At the same time buffet was served on a long table so we got to have (fruits, beef, 2 choices for pasta, salad, and salmon) 2 trays each from what I remembered was on that long table and when we were done they took out coffee and Tray of tiramisu for dessert.They have a screen in their small stage that will allow you to play any videos you want, the lighting is perfect as well as you can request to dim or make the lights super bright.There are 3 restrooms in the place. What I also like is that they have a person outside the door to check guests that are coming in and out - (I am not sure if he's for valet service though) because free parking is just across the street and that's what we did.All in all, I love it! great experience!
