Elephant Bar Restaurant

mgmt sucks, the dude has a chip on his shoulder, hethinks he's gods gift the eb. lossen up &  say hi to your supporters, jus not to me, since u will not see me there anmore, we had a rip off coupon to get us in there. the food is copy cat of asian foods that won't ever come close to autenthic stuff, not insulting latins, but they cook it, but would they even know if they screwed up? any way our main beef is we don't know if the waiter is screwing us or eb corporate, we went in b/c of the 2 fer 20 coupon offered in sunday ads. we get this little portions that the waiter said it's part of the lunch menu, even with coupon, that's misleading cause it's actually a lunch portion & should not be offered unless it states its a lunch portion, because we were there to use the coupon, someone made up the story of they ran out of the desert they were offering which  was apple cobbler w/ nuts & blueberries. so the mgr got involved & offered us the chepo(someone got sick earing it) cream brulee, came out 1/2 torched & 1/2 on the light side, come on these guys flame these things day in day out & apparently, as you can see they screwed it up, on top of that they screwed up the bill, overcharging us & charging us for a cream brulee, which was suppose to be inncluded! warning watch these peeps & check your bill!  one mor thing those page alert coasters are hella dirty, they should wipe them down with something strong once  every 4 hours instead of standing around doing nothing. mgmt fo you, those things are nasty!

I used to like this place .. Even though I only checked in once, I have been here over 10 times .. Since the last time (4/16/2013), I haven't been back since ..

That was our son's 9th Birthday and we were not able to make it to our regular celebration spot, The Crab House in the San Francisco Fisherman's wharf.

From the start, things were wrong .. We were assigned a server who went on lunch break right after getting drinks, waited 30 minutes before ordering our food while another server assisted after waiving a server down, then food arrived, needed catch up for kids (waited another 10 minutes), order another lemonade (waited another 20 minutes), asked a server (since we were unable to find server # 1 and server # 2) to see when we are going to get an order of mac and cheese that we ordered an hour ago (another 10 minutes passed, still no news), told another server (still don't know where server # 1, Server # 2, server # 3 are) about the mac and cheese (he actually came back with mac and cheese 5 minutes later), informed her that we were celebrating our son's 9th birthday and to add a cake to our bill and to bring a candle for him to make a wish ... 10 minutes later, she came back with the cake but no candle .. WTF

WTF is wrong with this place .. we were not the only tables that had the same problem .. two other tables were affected as well .. we were all looking at each other and asking each other, did you get your orders? WOW

When I asked for the bill, it was very quick .. I was hoping to wait another 20 minutes or so until they forgot whether we paid or not ..

What did I do? Paid the exact bill with $ 0 tip explaining why to the manager at the back of the receipt.

Will we ever go back? NOT A CHANCE ..

So after breaking my HH (happy hour) virginity with my sweetie Pam, I decided we needed another one!! And behold Pam suggested this spot *I didn't even know they had HH, such a noob!!*

*HH starts at 3pm folks and you must be seated in the bar area*
Upon walking in we were greeted by their hostess and went straight into the bar area. *Thanks again Pammy*
Very cozy, ac on full blast which made it a little chilly but after a drink or two I started seeing why the ac was on full blast!! They had so many items on the menu from drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts! I decided to have something small since OTG (Off The Grid) was getting ready to start at 5pm and I definitely wanted to save room for some food trucks!!

Elephant Bar also has nice HH deals; a lunch item with a drink for less than $10 which is a win in my books so I decided on the Korean Beef Tacos which came with a House Marguarita.
Upon waiting for our food I decided on having a drink before hand and chose their Raspberry Lemon Drop. When it arrived to my table, I was a little unsatisfied. The drink itself didn't lack any alcoholic taste, I could taste the Vodka, but the drink wasn't even filled to my rim!! *Now I understand this is HH folks, half prices off drinks but does that also mean half a drink as well? I posted my photo for all to gawk at. And YES folks the photo was taken before I even took a sip :(

However the Korean Beef Tacos definitely made up for the missing drink. *Delicious tender pieces of beef, sweet and satisfying. Together with veggies, pieces of mango and a salsa dip, it was undeniably tasty!!*
The House Marguarita that came with my order also help make up for the loss of my Lemon Drop. It was a little sour but definitely filled with alcohol! *I was buzzing after the first couple of sips!*

It was definitely once again another happy hour or hours I should really say. With the BEST waitresses (sweet and attentive), delicious food and fantastic drinks!!
