Elephant Bar Restaurant

I've been going here about once a month for a couple of years now with friends. Up until last weekend- I would have rated them five stars. The food had always been excellent, and the atmosphere nice, even if a bit crowded and loud.

The last couple of visits, I noticed they cut their menu down quite a bit. They still had the stir-fry dishes I like, so it wasn't that big of a deal for me, but the menu definitely isn't as varied and eclectic as it used to be.

This past weekend, I ordered on of my usual dishes- Crispy Teriyaki Stir-Fry (or something along those lines). It was overcooked, dry, and cold, even though it came rather quickly. The rice was also cold, and veggies were soggy. It was almost like I got someone else's food that had been sitting out for awhile. My friends said their food (salmon) was "excellent as always", and since I didn't want to make a big deal out of it or delay our plans for the evening- I just choked it down smiling.

The service is good, not exceptional- but what I would expect from a "chain" bar/restaurant. They are very friendly and generally fast. I'll eat there again, but if I get another meal like last weekend's- I'm going to start suggesting to my friends that we look for another restaurant to meet at.

Ok  but nothing special. Once we got raw shrimp on cooked veggies!! Its good to go if you have coupon but otherwise nothing special. Don' t know why its always busy. We got waitress saying to us oh no not coupon! Are you kidding me? If not the coupons I dont know if you would have many customers there

I brought 30 people with me for dinner. Their private room was very nice. The food was delicious and the service was great. They didn't automatically add in a tip which I liked. I tipped 25% and got out of there for less $ than I expected. I'll be back in August with another 30-40 people. You've earned my business.
