We had the most delicious meals with our friends visiting from Laurel MS. Absolutely excellent service and pork chops were cooked to perfect temp. From appetizer to dessert a meal to remember. Thank you

My wife and I had an unforgettable dining experience at Elevation while celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary in Mentone. From start to finish, everything was exceptional — the food was flavorful and beautifully prepared, the service was attentive and warm, and the ambiance made it the perfect spot for a special evening. We were especially impressed that the chef and owner personally came out to speak with us — a thoughtful touch that made us feel truly valued. I only wish I had ordered an extra pasta to take home for later! We’ll definitely be back.

We walked in to the nicest man who just put me into a great mood before we ever sat down. Turns out he was the chef. That’s cool. The marinated mozzarella was perfect and set the tone for an absolutely wonderful dinner. The Lemon Chicken with Capers is in my opinion underpriced and absolutely wicked good. The Red Snapper with grits and arugula gave me a religious experience. I tasted god. Not to even mention the outstanding service and a chef who is as passionate about food as I am!

Arguably the best restaurant in northeast alabama. The menu perfectly balances taste and creativity. It's obvious that the chef puts great pride and intentionality into every item. Highly recommend the marinated mozzarella, the chicken, the pork chop, and the brownie to finish. Every single bite was perfectly balanced flavor. I could go on and on about how the sauce perfectly complemented the mushrooms or how the brownie was perfectly executed with just the right texture and flavor or how the salted caramel was perfectly balanced, etc. etc. Just go and try it all for yourself. It's worth the trip and worth every penny.

Really! OMG! This may be one of the best dinners I've ever eaten. Must have a reservation to eat here. This small place has limited seating and is in "Demand". The Owner/Chef visited our table to ensure we were satisfied with our dishes. He said all of his ingredients for his dishes are sourced from only the best farms. Right down to the butter which is shipped in from Vermont. Now that is unique and why everything is so good. He constructs his menu depending on what is fresh and in season. Great care and love is given to every detail of the dishes. Worth the drive from anywhere! You must try this at least once in your life.

This place has the trifecta: atmosphere, incredible food , and authentic fabulous service! Our meals were incredible! Our mozzarella sun-dried tomato appetizer situation was a flavor explosion. My husband had the hamburger which was grilled to perfection and was so flavorful(so I'm told. He devoured it before I could see for myself). I had the shrimp pasta which was so extremely fresh and fantastic. What took the cake was dessert. Pardon the pun. The pecan pie bread pudding made me want to cry it was SO GOOD! Run, don't walk, to this place! It doesn't disappoint! Kevin the owner and Andi our server were so authentic and attentive. What a delight Elevation is! We will be back!

Hidden treasure in Mentone, AL! Call ahead and make your reservation, you will not be disappointed. The bone-in pork chop, carrots and mashed potatoes were pure elegance presented as comfort food and the Caesar salad was topped with exquisite dressing made on site by the chef. Service was friendly and on point. The owner even took time to circulate through the tables and connected with every patron. Amazing experience that you must try for yourself!
