I believe a restaurants rating is not only about the food, it is also about the entire experience and I recently had a terrible one at Elijah's. On May 27, 2009 as I was trying to enter Elijah’s restaurant, a place I had (until this point) frequented since 1989. I was approached by a young man on the street and he said some very unsettling things to me, this made me extremely uncomfortable. I am fully aware that downtown can be dangerous, especially to women who are walking alone. So, having this knowledge, as I entered the restaurant I made the staff aware of the fact there was someone approaching people in an aggressive way in front of their establishment. Long story short when I notified the manager, a Mr. Boney Ives, of this situation and it seemed he could not have been less interested. Even worse, Mr. Ives was aware that I thought an employee looked very similar to the person that approached me earlier on the street, (though I never accused him). This surprised me because as I mentioned before I had been a loyal customer for 20 years, and all Mr. Ives could say was “what do you want me to do about it.” I wrote a very detailed letter about this incident to the owners of Elijah’s and have received no response. So, in the future if I am going to eat downtown, I will try to go to a place where the staff and management have a genuine concern about the safety and welfare of their customers. I must say, I don’t see how I could feel comfortable going back to Elijah’s when it was made very clear to me that the management had absolutely no concern about my well-being. There is more to the story but I tried to be as concise as possible. Just thought potential patrons should be aware...
