My wife and another couple and I enjoyed a fine meal of both steak and seafood at this quality restaurant. The decor was nice and room enough between the tables as not to be in the other parties conversation. Acceptable wine, beer and other beverage selection. Although I didn't try it, they are famous for their pineapple infused vodka of... More

Ely's is a first class restaurant with a touch of service that makes you feel very special. All the food is great, but especially the fillet mignon. You can't go wrong with their desserts either. If you are looking for a quiet romantic evening with great food and service, you cannot go wrong at Ely's.

I visited Richard Shapley's restaurant in Ridgeland with friends and we had a fantastic time. The sides are huge, the steaks are just like you'd want them, exactly at temp. The atmosphere of Ely's is classy and well decorated, there's usually a nice buzz of crowd noise from happy diners eating in there. Richard makes his way around the place... More

The food here was excellent. I had the stuffed flounder, and it was perfect. For the price I would like to see an extra side (like potatoes) added. The desserts were only so-so. It was very expensive, but it is worth it if you are going for a special occasion.

The reviews sold me on trying this place during a brief visit. When you read descriptives like favorite, excellent, best, fine dining, etc., you have to try it and have high expectations when doing so. I'll say up front that the wait staff was very courteous, attentive, and professional. This was a huge disappointment for us. Fine dining needs at... More

A recent business trip took me to Jackson, MS, and a customer that I was visiting recommended Ely's. The restaurant is located in a the second floor of a small shopping center. It is a bit difficult to find if you don't know where you are going. Being from Texas, I am a lover of steaks, especially ribeye's. I had... More

My best friend's birthday was yesterday and we decided to eat at Ely's in Ridgeland. We were attempting to walk into the restaurant on a Friday night at 6:30 so we called ahead to ask about the wait time. The hostess was so friendly and said she could immediately seat us! We arrived at the restaurant and ordered a drink... More

We have eaten there several times since the restaurant opened in 2008. We have had and enjoyed almost all of the items on the menu. It is not too large, and not so noisy as some of the other popular Jackson area restaurants. Because we enjoyed the restaurant so much, I chose it for a celebretory dinner for 14 friends... More

Ely's is one of my favorites for a special occasion. My husband says it has the best steak he has ever had. Wonderful service and great food. The steak is excellent and I also enjoy the salmon and the shrimp dishes. You will enjoy it!
