   The grilled items are incredible! Absolutely powerful and creative flavors from Chef Srijith and the team once again! Excited for this place to grow and get better with time!

   The food, while presented elegantly, lacked depth and flavor. Each dish felt like it was missing a vital ingredient - soul. The culinary experience was akin to eating a beautifully crafted shell with nothing meaningful inside.

   We were excited to try Eylan after having amazing experiences at their sister restaurants. The restaurant is located in a nondescript office/apartment building on El Camino. You can park underneath in a garage; thankfully, there was wayfinding signage to guide you inside. The hostess seated us in the Lounge, which I did not recall booking. The lounge area is dark, has less character and looks out to a dormant patio covered with dried leaves and stored patio furniture. Seats were relatively low in terms of table height. We felt like we needed booster seats. Service was good. Our server was friendly, efficient, and articulate, but the supporting staff was difficult to understand. They spoke very low and mumbled, which was hard to discern in a lively environment. We heard very little to none about the dishes the support staff delivered. The food was excellent and lived up to Chef Srijith Gopinathan's menus at his other restaurants.

   Our server, Phil, was attentive and excellent overall. We ordered tarro, mushrooms, chicken kabab, and shrimp to start; we also ordered the cod. Everything was flavorful except for the shrimp - it tasted previously frozen. We were led to believe the small plates were very "small", however, this was not the case for a party of two. We would have skipped the shrimp.

   The food was delicious and inventive, but we were disappointed in the service. Had 5 o’clock reservations, were there when they opened and joined a line of six others waiting to be seated. Seated with menus by 506 and given Waters. after 20 minutes without seeing a waiter, we asked the bus boy to send a waiter who could take our cocktail order. Waiter did not show up until 538 despite mostly empty Restaurant. At that point, the waiter wanted to take our complete order and not just a cocktail order.  another service issue: when we were 2/3 through the meal and the waitress stopped by our table, I ordered a second beer. It didn’t come until after we had finished our meal, plates were gone.

   If you have not been to Eylan yet, go now before it gets crowded! That said, the food was delicious, the service friendly and attentive, and the ambience, comfortable and not stuffy. We had two small plates, 1 bread, 2 small entrees and 2 larger entrees. Though it seemed like a lot, we decided to try most anything that sounded good. The Hamachi was such a treat! Fresh tasting and not at all fishy. It was served with a crispy, light batter-fried herb leaf and was lighter than a potato chip. The Black Cod was light and cooked to perfection with a crisped skin and tender flakiness. The Cornish Hen was reminiscent of our favorite Indian dish, Butter Chicken, but lighter and without bones! All the dishes were made with the care and originality that we usually go to Ettan to get. We will be back again!

   Excellent food and customer service. Highly recommend this place. It feels bit noisy if you are looking for quieter place. Ask for table away from center.

   Excellent food. We ordered several dishes, some vegan and everything was scrumptious! Service was exceptional. Highly recommend Eylan!

    Food was below average and overpriced. Descriptions are misleading.
