Comfort Food and Comfortable Family Dining: I must take exception to the reviewer who chose this forum to air a personal grievance against Toula and Chuck. I have been eating at this restaurant for over 50 years and have found that under their direction the restaurant is still in good hands and that the founders Mr. Pete and Mr. Jimmy Z can be proud. Toulas' smile and Chuck's attention to the customer with a sense of humor is refreshing and greatly appreciated. The reviewer of the restaurant needs to proofread and spellcheck his article before submitting such a less than intelligent review. That said, I must say that you will not find better food that that that can be found at The Elite. The Veal Cutlets, Enchiladas and rolls are the standard by which all similar entrees should be measured. The fresh fish prepared "Greek Style" is a signature dish that very few restaurants in the Jackson area can duplicate. In short, The Elite's Management team like their food is second to none and are great representatives for the dining establishments in Jackson and the State of Mississippi.
A Taste of Lower New York: The Elite is a taste of Lower New York in the heart of Jackson, MS. It is mediocre food...mediocre service...but a sense of "former glory" still permeates the wall. Give it a shot when you have a hunger for the "city".
