    Fish tacos
    Grace B.

    This place was amazing! Great service, great food, and such a nice ambiance. It's gorgeous inside and the outdoor area is nice and clean. My husband got ACP with ribeye and the steak melts in your mouth. I got fish tacos, and it was delicious. Both sauces that came were excellent. I'm typically a boring food orderer but I tried something new, and loved it!! I highly recommend.

    My boyfriend and I come here all the time, the service is always TOP notch. The food has been beyond incredible every single time without fail. We've had Johnny as our server for the past couple of times and he is amazing! Super kind, very attentive. This past time we were able to meet Louis, one of the managers. He was so great!! Very friendly and keeps the ambiance of this restaurant amazing. We've also had Briggs as our server as well and we love him. The staff here make you feel like family and that's a very rare thing nowadays in restaurants. I would give El Jim Elegante 12 out of 5 stars if I could. SIDE NOTE: get a strawberry basil margarita and the quesa birria and you will not regret it, also definitely save room for the flan. I mean look at that plating are you serious?!

    The grill masters menu. Chef's special

    New Mexican restaurant. This is not TexMex. This is Mexican food elevated. New takes on old cuisine. We were first served with a warm loaf of bread with a garlicky avacado spread and a salsa spread. I had the salmon perejil and my husband had El Jimador grill special which was a combo of shrimp, chicken and steak in stacked layers with cheese and a buttery sauce. It was a fantastic combination with onion rings that were crispy and fresh. The salmon had fried, chopped herbs on top of the salmon. The salmon laid on a bed of mushroom, truffle risotto. The risotto was so creamy I could have had that all by itself. It came with two sides. I had the truffle, Parmesan cheese and it had a very light citrusy flavor served with a butter/cheesy and citrus sauce. If I new adding a slight citrus to mashed potatoes, I would be cooking it at home from now on. The flavors are so deliciously unexpected, but so delicious it could be my new addiction . The Brussels sprouts were sweet not bitter. We ordered sopapillas for dessert. Fried, puffed pillows of dough with cinnamon, sugar and drizzled with honey butter served with vanilla ice cream. Nice ending to a very elegant meal! The ambiance is casual and upscale. Indoor, outdoor and upstairs dining. The waiters we very pleasant and informed on the menu. They have a full bar. This restaurant is a nice change from the typical Mexican restaurant. The menu ranges in competitive prices to pricey, depending on what you order! Great apps and some traditional affordable Mexican dishes. Try the no traditional menu items. You will not be disappointed.

The sriracha aioli added the best amount of spice. The trout was nice and crispy too. Their wagyu melts in your mouth... and those potatoes. CRISPY on the outside and so fluffy on the inside. Word of the day: crispy

    We went for brunch which turns out is their regular menu, not a brunch menu. Not any expected…read morebrunch dishes other than deviled eggs anywhere to be seen. I ordered calamari which was a good-sized serving and crispy, but more than half of the dish consisted of tentacles. The remolade sauce it was served with was so hot and spicy it was inedible. Caesar salad which on the menu said shrimp, chicken, or Wagu steak could be added. I ordered the Caesar salad with steak expecting a large main salad with steak added. I was served a small Caesar side salad and a separate menu entree of steak, potatoes, and asparagus that only the top half of the stalks was tender. The rest was tough and stringy. The steak was listed as Wagu. While cooked properly and tasty, the texture made me question that. My husband liked his crab cake sliders, lots of crab, not much filler and an interesting side of pineapple slaw. Up On the Roof has a wonderful scenic location and a nice ambience. I expect better cooking and variety for the prices.

    Beautiful views of Anderson, SC. Be advised that most of the seating is outside thus the name Up On…read moreThe Roof. We went on Mother's Day , bright and sunny skies and HOT in the sun. The whole trying to get out of the sun was a thing. They have some seating indoors, and some seating under a roof . Everything else is outside with no cover whatsoever. There appeared to be a sun shade that could be pulled over the seating area but perhaps I was wrong because surely they would have utilized the sun shade if it were available. I think because they were very busy the manager ( from NJ) was harder to deal with than usual ( don't know as I've never been there) on the ride up in the elevator the people getting in said " Good Luck" to us . The waiter and host were very nice but apparently anytime a guest tried to get seated out of the sun the manager sounded very irritated. Anyway.... On to the food : I am extremely gluten sensitive. So far no stomach issues and it's been a couple of hours. We had a charcuterie board that was delicious. The only gluten were pencil breadsticks. I ate cheese and grapes and pickled okra. It was very fresh and good. I had the fresh trout meal which included creamed corn and a few baby grilled carrots. There were two pieces. It was really tasty . They have one gluten free desert : strawberry shortcake type deal. Almond cake with strawberry confiet. It was really delicious. The head chef is gluten free so I felt safe eating there. My other family members had a breakfast burrito and chicken lettuce wraps. They both seemed to enjoy their meals. I will most probably give it another shot on a non holiday to see if they have more luck with finding another coffee press ( they apparently were all in use or they truly just had one?) and to see if seating of your choice is more accommodated.

    Other than our service being a little delayed, everything about our experience was amazing! Me and…read moremy best friend went for restaurant week to take advantage of their 3 for $35 dinner deal.. Best decision ever!! I'm typically not the type of person who orders brussel sprouts as an appetizer, but theirs are *chef's kiss*. We could've gotten full off of those and the chicken lettuce wraps alone. Our chicken sandwiches were both really flavorful and fresh. The mango slaw was the perfect addition! Desserts were also amazing. I'm so glad I finally had the opportunity to try this establishment. The location and views are immaculate. Free parking in the garage and easy access to the roof. I will definitely be back!
