The restaurant was completed and opened in 1939 at the end of the great depression. The pine log building was nestled in three wooded acres that are beautiful in any season. No matter where you were seated in any of the four intimate dining rooms, you'd have a relaxing view of the picturesque outdoors through huge picture windows. Elliott's specialties included; Roasted Duck, Broiled Aged Steaks, Fresh Dressed Chicken, Prime Rib of Beef, Lobster Tails, among other great dishes.
