Elsasser's @ 111

"Stopped in for lunch today missed lunch hours…but the owner Chris personally made lunch and drinks for us. Food was amazing!!! Really cool atmosphere and a beautiful old building. Worth the trip we will be back! Nice to meat you Chris!"

"This place is a gem! I was there sitting outside for the tractor parade tonight. And all my friends raved about how friendly the owner was. We were outside his establishment waiting for the parade and hanging out for a couple of hours. During that time we were in and out using the rest room and grabbing beers from the bar. Let’s start with Rose the bartender, she was amazing. Very attentive to her crowd and extremely knowledgeable about her craft. My friends were unsure of the carefully selected German Beer selection being offered. Rose was spot on in her descriptions of each beer, and recommendations. All of my friends walked about and couldn’t be happier with their choices! Secondly the owner Chris was extremely welcoming and seemed to know who was amongst the crowd both inside and out. He was an amazing conversationist and all around amazing host. As the night went in we ordered some pizzas they specialize in. Chris took my order and delivered them to me personally. I can not put into words how amazing those pizzas were! I can not wait to go back and enjoy a proper dinner here! This place is amazing and a hidden gem just outside of the capital district. I would recommend this restaurant to any one! Job well done to Chris, and the rest of the staff at this establishment!"

"I was born in Strasbourg, the capital of Alsace (Elsass in German) and spend a lot of years before moving to the US… and missing our traditional gastronomy… until now. Chris has managed to create a cozy restaurant with a great vibe, and awesome menu. Everything is very reasonably priced and tasty. We had several flammkueche, and, like in Alsace, the restaurateur is open to a few changes so do not hesitate to ask. I had the Cordon Bleu, made with real gruyère, served with red cabbage and potato salad. The red cabbage has a very interesting twist with a tad of vinegar. Every was great (only comment, our entrées could have been a little warmer, but not worth reducing the stars). Elsasser also has bretzels on the menu and they are not fat or expensive. Perfect with your beer. Christ, as a sommelier, prides himself in a fine selection of wine and he was spot on with a nice Gamay at a good price. I highly recommend this place and I wish Chris and his team all the success he deserves."

"Walking into this restaurant feels like you’ve been transported back in time! Chris is an absolute delight and reason enough to visit, but the food is also delicious and unique. I had the pork schnitzel, which was perfectly crisp over mixed spaetzle that was flavorful and fresh. The wine selection was diverse and tailored to individual preference. I’d recommend popping in if you’re in the area - you won’t be disappointed. When I’m back in Saratoga I’ll make a point to stop here again and hope that it’s karaoke night!"
