what was consumed: charred broccoli & fennel salad, bbq brisket, roasted mushroom gnocchi ... and 2 slices of pie! chocolate cream (i think) and blueberry.

i'm sad to say i haven't checked out as many restaurants as i would like in the mount pleasant area. there are lots of delicious things to be had there, i'm sure. so when k suggested elle, i was all about it! on top of that, elle and room 11 are owned/run by the same people. that was yet another reason why i knew i would love elle.

walking in to elle, i felt like i was walking into a small town cafe. i loved that feeling! and once we were seated, we were kindly greeted by our server who excitedly went through the menu and gave her recommendations. we opted for a little of this, a little of that - some grilled veggies, some gnocchi (i'm such a sucker), some meat. we were not disappointed. YUM.

and of course, pie. yay pie! we happen to be at elle on pi day. which means it was our duty to eat pie. of course. that just makes good sense. obviously ;P we got a fruity slide and a chocolate-y slice. and despite being healthy slices, k and i polished them both off. they were sweet, but not too sweet. and coupled with the buttery crust, the pie slices were a delicious way to complete our meal.
