Elyse is in the same parking lot as Dolce Vita Restaurant in Fairfax. It’s the small building next door. The address to map is 10822 Fairfax Blvd, Fairfax, Va 22030.

There is plenty of parking. Either Valet in front of Dolce Vita (complimentary, just tip) or in the parking lot in front of Dolce Vita (which doubles as a parking lot for Elyse) or park in the Lutheran church directly behind Elyse by turning on Meredith Ave and then taking a quick left into the Lutheran Church parking lot and walking down the gravel path to Elyse.

Elyse is open for dinner from Thursday to Sunday. Chef Jon executes a full menu change at least once a month, and sometimes more often.

We have a small, but very well curated wine list, hopefully with labels you haven’t heard of but will look for in the future. You are more than welcome to bring your own wine. Corkage is $35 per bottle.

Dress is certainly not formal but is “elegant casual.”

We are a 5 course chef’s tasting menu concept, with choices on three courses. The price is $135 for each guest, excluding drinks, tax, and gratuity. There is a 20% service charge already added to your check. If you would like to leave more than that, there is a space to do that when you pay.

We can make limited alterations and substitutions. To provide you with the best possible experience, a team member will reach out to check if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions that we should take into account.
