Reviews of elda (Restaurant)

Kyle Murphy

Excellent 4-6 course prix fixe menu! Absolutely delicious!

Mac Coldwell

A downtown Biddeford catalyst for a growing and fresh Main street. Small plate and everything I've tried so far has been filled with taste and well balanced on its flavors. An excellent selection of wine, beers, and whiskeys. The service is flawless, attentive and detailed. It's also welcoming and personable. Modem in it's ambience. The restaurant is on the ground floor, and is handicap accessible. There is a small bar in front of the kitchen, and it's fun to watch the chef and his team make amazing food and plate presentation look effortless.

It's our new favorite restaurant.

First of all I just want to say, I can't believe this place is in Biddeford (sorry Biddeford, born and raised so I know). The service was above excellent, the atmosphere was quaint, and the food, oh the food! I did the 4 course meal and everything, I mean everything was delicious. This is a must go!!! I wish I took photos. Next time I will.

Great to see such an upscale, unique restaurant in downtown Biddeford. My friend and I had an amazing meal, the staff was attentive, friendly, and informative. Loved the decor.

Eric Gates

Absolutely wonderful -- great food, atmosphere and service. Don't come here to gorge yourself; rather, come here to enjoy well prepared food, reasonably priced in a wonderful atmosphere with people you enjoy. We did!

Absolutely out of this world dining experience. Everything was perfect. I had smoked bluefish, cured fluke, grilled pork and torrent with pear roasted in honey. Will be back... So often. Please just go here. You will not regret it.

Waitress was very frazzled and acted like she was better than us, when she clearly wasn’t. Bar tender was too busy flirting with these ugos to get us a drink. Also someone almost walked in on me in the bathroom I mean have you ever herd of knocking geez. They could’ve had it all if they where nice to me cause I’m kinda loaded so jokes on you. Also food was sub par kinda like when Wendy’s did that promotional to try to be fancier and put lettuce on the side of things as decoration.

Still a hidden gem tucked away in the growing downtown Biddeford . A friend and I scheduled a 7:45 reservation and was pleased to walk into a Japanese-minimalist decor with very talented chefs in an open kitchen. We were lucky enough to watch the magic unfold as we tried the juniper oysters and cod potato tempura, the oysters were incredibly refreshing and the juniper oil w lemon brought new flavors but held balance . Cod potatoes were melt in your mouth . Moved into the monkfish oats, chicken dish, and scallops all of which were seemingly perfectly executed , the scallops especially oh my god it’s a must . Im hopeful for this place as it deserves its commendation, hats off to the chef and I heard the menu rotates frequent & cant wait for a re-run experience . FYI , we found out it’s BYOB with the bar opening early 2018

Best food in the region. Beats most Portland restaurants. Prix Fix menu is the way to go. Amazing urchin appetizer. Fabulous drinks. Hard to find as the sign is only on the window, but well worth the search.

Amy Jane Larkin

Easily one of the best meals I've had in the last several years. Their fixed price option with four courses can't be beat. We were a table of three, and there were three options for each course. We ordered the entire menu and shared everything. The redfish, soft shell crab, ramp soup and rhubarb dessert were all standouts. Our server was warm and attentive and often joined by members of the kitchen staff to present various courses. Looking forward to returning!

Do not miss! Gorgeous food. pri fix $64 pp, 4+ course changes daily. Exceptional blend of flavors. Open kitchen, cozy seating and atmosphere with impressive service. Reservations a must for this incredible dining experience.

Briant Gaudet

The best restaurant in Saco/Biddeford. With Elda in town we don't have to drive to Portland or Portsmouth. The chef is amazing. The food is attentively prepared. The bar is run by a master. This place is a gem.

Karen Nielsen

Excellent four-course dinner.

Carolyn Mitchell

Awesome meal. Exceptional service. The peach souffle is the best dessert ever!!

Pascal Abadie

You can choose the amount of food you want. The fish and the scallops were cooked perfectly. I hope that the new restaurant will make it.

Great food. Great drinks. The mushroom tea is the best. Wish we could order a pot for the table. Portions are on the smaller side but everything we had was perfect. The space is beautiful and their beer and wine list is the best in town by leaps and bounds. Will be returning.

Linda B

My huge compliments to the chef ( 2/6/2017) and server . Inventive menu that would please any palate. Mushroom tea MUST stay on the menu! Everyone should experience ELDA.

Glen Jackson

Exquisite meal, enjoyable atmosphere

Nick Stern

Overrated. We've tried twice and failed twice. Guess the lesson is stop trying.

Jeffrey sladen

Awesome menu

Richard Carter

Very nice restaurant. We ate at the bar and the food was amazing!!

Kim Roseberry

Fabulous little gem in the heart of downtown Biddeford.

Bare brick and dark paint make the high (ornate pressed metal) ceilinged space feel intimate. For a room of hard surfaces the noise levels are low enough to converse at a comfortable volume. We were seated at a bar looking into kitchen and were able to observe the elegant dance of the chefs, led by owner-head chef Bowman Brown, going about their work. Upon arrival we were given an amuse bouche of corn and seaweed broth and a plate with fresh radishes with a yoghurt dip. The food is served on Japanese crockery, which enhances the presentation of each dish. My dining companions had the oysters and say they were perfect. The lobster entree and carrot entree also delighted. The flounder main was handled with the delicacy this fish needs. The souffle desserts were flawlessly executed and served with ice cream and crumble. As well as top class food, there are interesting cocktails and a small carefully chosen wine list. Service was attentive and helpful without being intrusive. Amazingly, four courses cost just $50. This restaurant is rightly earning accolades and is worth seeking out.

Brought my extremely picky father here for his bday dinner. We had an absolutely wonderful meal and every dish wa fantastic! Croquettes, acorn cake, peakytoe crab, scallops and oysters were the highlights. We are all thrilled to welcome Elda to Biddeford!
