Elysium - Kalamazoo

This review is 2 fold. 1 normal dining 2 wine dinnerI'll start with 2Do not do their wine dinners. Period. For $250 without wine you may get the amount of food equivalent to 1/2 an entree. My experience was that 80% of the courses were less than a 5/10. A couple good ones sprinkled in though. Most absurd price I've paid anywhere for a wine dinner. On top of the $250 was $40 for the wine. Some okay wines, most about $15 a bottle from a store so maybe worth the money.... Not sure.1 I've had some good experiences dining in. Thought it was one of my favorite restaurants in the area till I went back for a second (and other) time(s). Be careful what you order. Can be great. Can be completely miserable.

Very fine dining, excellent staff, attention to details, great wine and whiskey selection, indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is a little confusing and they run out of menu items a bit early, but they have some of the smoothest Crème Brûlée desserts I've ever had. I'll definitely be back again.

We have been to Elysium for a few date nights and always have been really happy with the food and service. We chose to celebrate our anniversary there last night and it was such a special experience. There was a handwritten card on our table congratulating us and we were offered champagne to celebrate. We’ve always enjoyed our experience but this was incredible, truly above and beyond to make a memorable night. Definitely try this place!!!

The restaurant week short rib taco's are FIRE??. Go get them. Great service and food!

Looking for somewhere to go in Kalamazoo where fine dinning is art. Are you looking for that wow factor on your first date and want to dress to impress. Look no futher....Elysium delivers all that and more. While I visit during the year, I make it a special day every year whenever it is restaurant week, to try out the new dishes their chefs have whipped up. I would highly recommend making this one of top eating spots.
