“We appreciate the support the community and our staff provided over the years but unfortunately due to a myriad of challenges we and the rest of the restaurant industry has faced over the last few years it has caused us to evaluate the markets where we can effectively compete with our Eli’s casual dining experience, Elicit Brewing Company and Brick Oven Pizza concept. We hope you will continue to be part of the Eli’s Restaurant Group family with our other locations: Eli’s on Whitney Hamden, Eli’s Brick Oven Pizza Hamden, Eli’s on the Hill Branford, Eli’s Tavern Milford, Elicit Brewing Company Manchester, Elicit Brewing Company Fairfield and soon to open Elicit Brewing Company Danbury,” the Facebook message says.
Eli's Orange was Eli Restaurant Group's fifth Connecticut restaurant located on the “Miracle Mile” of Boston Post Road in Orange, according to the website.
