Elephant Bar Restaurant

nice place!

I'd never heard of this chain before visiting California, and I wish I'd tried it earlier in my visit.  Very varied menu, it was nice to see a lot of dishes that were actually healthy. i had the Seared Tuna Salad and it was incredible.  Staff was very nice and stopped by to check on me  (and refill water! yay!!!) when I needed them, but weren't intrusive.  so many interesting things on the menu, that I want to go back with a big group so we can order a ton of different things!

Only complaint was my cocktail was on the weak side. But hey, maybe i'm just used to places that mix them on the strong side.

Hostess was very friendly on both times ive been here. My first time here it took us 20mins to get water, as our waiter was messing around in the back, which when knew when we saw him getting chewed out by his manager. The manager was very apologetic, which i respect because apologizing for others is not easy. Our waiter was alright afterwards, just alright. The food is my big issue, as i am not a fan. For me its one of the restaurants were you look at the menu and you just dont see anything "pop" that you tell yourself you have to try. The food is alright, not amazing, but alright, but there are many other places very close that you could go to instead for the same price. Would i recommend it? No.

Brought my mom here for her 63rd birthday and sat in the bar area. The bartender was very nice, although the drinks were okay. We ordered some cocktails with our side dish and thought that everything could've been better and stronger. Our fried string beans were a bit burnt, but eatable. Overall, we had a nice time.
