"It's easy to spot the steel-outlined neon ' Eliza ' from blocks away, its gentle rose glow the first beckoning sign of warmth inside this nearly two-and-a-half-year-old Kingston community favorite. Inside, tin ceilings, a ginormous skylight, and plush green banquettes preempt a meal to linger over - a romance of Euro-leaning bistro staples, many redefined by Southeast Asian ingredients or techniques."
"* The short rib massaman ($32) was my favorite dish of the evening. Somewhere between the slippery ribbons of fresh pappardelle and the velvety coconut curry they were cloaked in, I began to see visions of pad see ew and ragu Bolognese dancing together in my head. Crushed peanuts, a few pickled Thai chiles, and a scattering of cilantro sent this outstanding dish over the edge."
Eliza sits in Kingston with steel-outlined neon and a gentle rose glow, featuring tin ceilings, a large skylight, and plush green banquettes that encourage lingering. The menu pairs Euro-leaning bistro staples with Southeast Asian ingredients and techniques. Scallop crudo arrives with a punchy lime-fish sauce emulsion that changes garnishes weekly. Malt salt fries are a scene-stealer and pair well with roast half chicken with garlic jus or the thick pub burger with cheddar and pickles. Short rib massaman combines fresh pappardelle ribbons with velvety coconut curry, crushed peanuts, pickled Thai chiles, and cilantro. A short, curated amari list includes Bigalet China Amer.
