Fond by a mile, but they will be closed from May 25th through June 6th so the couple that runs it can get married. I had a fantastic meal there a week or two ago, they have a tuna tartare dish right now with avocado and coconut broth that is really great. What else is on your list? I wasn't impressed with Ela, especially for the price.

re: DaisyM
I've managed to cross quite a few places off my "new places to try" list over the last couple months, but I still need to get to:
Ulivo
Il Pittore
Russet
American Sardine Bar
La Calaca FelizVedge is easily the best new place I've been to recently, I was just back there over the weekend and had another stupendous meal. Make sure you get the maitake mushroom/celery root fritter dish. On my most recent visit we ate almost the entire "Dirt List" (daily specials) and every dish on it was excellent, there was a snow pea salad on it that I'd especially recommend if it's still there when you go. It's up there with Bibou as one of my favorite places in the city. I'm really looking forward to going there again once summer veggie season is in full swing.
Of your list, I'd go to Meritage, Meme, or VW over Ela, although I've only ever had three things at VW: Village Burger (which you should absolutely get), fries, and the Cobb Salad (which was excellent). I haven't been to Branzino.

re: DaisyM
I'm guessing you've already been to Le Virtu but if you haven't, go there. One reason I haven't been to Ulivo or Il Pittore yet is that Le Virtu is in my neighborhood and it's hard to go anywhere else for Italian when I have LV so close, and it's so good. There's a whole rabbit "porchetta style" on the menu there right now that is great.
