We used Eli's On Whitney to celebrate my dad’s passing instead of doing a traditional funeral, and this was 100% the right choice. We rented the downstairs space, which comfortably held around 50–80 people and gave us room to make it feel personal... memory tables, photos, all of it.

We had such a great time here! Laura is AWESOME! Thank you to her and the rest of the staff for taking our birthday bash to the next level. Fantastic food, delicious drinks, prompt service, and genuinely nice people all around. I felt comfortable the second I walked through the door. I’m sorry I didn’t catch the hostess’s name, but she was so welcoming. You guys are amazing! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the New Haven area! Huge compliments to the chefs because the food was incredible. Those Philly egg rolls... OMG. SO GOOD!!! ❤️
