Ely's Restaurant & Bar

This is probably the best steak I have ever had. The service was great, and I will definitely will be going back! There was one and only one thing I would change about tonight's experience and that would be the blue cheese dressing. It was not a traditional blue cheese dressing

Ely's is one of the very few true fine dining experiences  in the Jackson area.  Great steaks and seafood.  Some of my favorites are the tabouli, asiago mac and cheese and the Eggplant Ely appetizer.  Great place for a special occasion meal but the bar is great to hang out in with friends and eat appetizers.  I can't imagine anyone leaving here without being extremely satisfied with anything they've ordered off the menu.

The one star is based on a very mixed review.  The bar experience was great. Service by Blake was awesome.  The appetizers, especially the egg plant crab dish was unique. The cheese cake was fantastic.
However, the after dinner  drink ruined the whole evening.  If anybody is going to charge $110 (which doubled our bill)  for a single shot, single malt Scotch there needs to be some communication up front. At least there should be a price advisement.
The manager/owner when confronted about this,  became argumentative and said it was a "gentleman thing" and therefor no need to communicate a price.
 $110 a shot for what he claimed was a $600 bottle of Whiskey (yes if you had the Sherry Oak matured version, which we did not) So not true!

There was absolutely no effort on his part to appease the situation...
We were hugely embarrassed and needless to say...we won't be back.!
