Moonlight & Eli Champagne & Cheese Fondue Bar

Of course, Champagne and fondue, but why Moonlight & Eli? The owner found “Moonlight & Eli”, written in their grandmother’s hand, on a photograph. In the picture were their grandmother, Julia, and, they assume, a man named Eli. Taken at Monte Carlo Beach in 1935, Eli was not the man she married. They have no idea who Eli was. Champagne is the drink most associated with love, and love comes in many shapes and sizes, as do champagne glasses. The bubbles of their sparkling wines perfectly cut through the richness of the fondue. Their petite space is the perfect backdrop to your love story. As Monte Carlo Beach was to Julia and Eli, or did he call her Moonlight?
