The Cutting Board Café is the perfect complement to Elza's down-to-earth style. Like the Cutting Board, Elza's music is fresh and alluring, her voice, a disarming combination of strength and vulnerability, has elicited comparisons to Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt. " . . . A voice that is unmistakable." — The Acoustic Radio Sampler.
As an Award-Winning Songwriter, Elza has had songs featured in ABC's Medical Documentary, "Hopkins," for which she wrote the promo theme and 13 songs, CW's, "Smallville," and the Independent Film, "Single." Several of her songs will be appearing in an upcoming documentary by the Producer of "Hopkins," which airs later this month.
Co-owned by executive chef and caterer, Brian Bender, and his wife Rachel Bender, The Cutting Board Café features live music, as well as an eclectic menu of tasty dishes made from natural and organic ingredients whenever possible, including produce from their own "homegrown" garden. Summer hours: Mon 9-3, Tues -Thurs 8-4, Fri and Sat 8-4, dinner 5-9:30, and Sunday brunch 9-3.
