Food was delicous. We brought another couple that had never been before. This was our second time here. No complaints about the food. It’s was amazing. We started off with Cesar salad and it was the best I have ever had. We had the bruschetta that tasted amazing. I had the Pasta Carbonara which had very good flavour but I could have had a little more sauce. My hubby had the Lobster Ravioli which he very much enjoyed. I had a bite and the flavour was so good. We also had the calamari, its was cooked to perfection. The other couple we were with had a panzerotti and the Margherita pizza. They too enjoyed their meal. The pizza looked so good we are kicking ourselves for not taking one home. We will definitely be back. The only thing we thought was odd was the server brought our food but never asked how it was only asked if we had everything we needed.

Lovely ambience and good food. Our server, Kathy, is wonderful. We are fortunate to have her look after us each time we go to Elmhurst. She’s a gem. They are very lucky to have her.

    Had a beautiful lunch at Stillwaters in Paris today. The atmosphere was relaxing, the food was fresh and delicious, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. A perfect spot to enjoy a meal and unwind and spend time with a special friend. I'll definitely be back!
