http://www.essexrestaurants.com/ 117-294 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/basildon-venues/basildon-restaurants/elona-restaurant-bulphan-essex.html unfortunately this restaurant seems to have lost its way recently. I was first introduced to it by friends who raved about it, as did I, but it would seem that over the last few months something has changed. The food has lost its quality, the standard has slipped and the staff don't seem to know what they are doing, however the prices are still as they were. Don't waste your money ]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2008 14:46:01 +0100 117-275 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/basildon-venues/basildon-restaurants/elona-restaurant-bulphan-essex.html The resturant certainly is nicely decorated, the service was attentive and friendly, the variety of food was great for such a relatively small restaurant. On the downside, the tables are oddly turned so you have a table leg between your knees, which didn't suit me.

The restaurant is also unfortunately back to back with the hotel's main function area, and we were treated to the dulled throb of disco music from the wedding reception on at the time. Maybe good to check there is nothing else on if you prefer a cosy meal.

I'd go again, but I'd chose a quieter night. ]]> Mon, 07 Jul 2008 17:19:25 +0100 117-7 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/basildon-venues/basildon-restaurants/elona-restaurant-bulphan-essex.html I had a great time! ]]> Tue, 27 Nov 2007 17:40:48 +0000
