    12oz NY strip & potato
    Jacob B.

    Wow I was really shocked by this one. So underwhelming for the good reviews on both Google and Yelp. First off the restaurant was poorly lit and had blinding white Edison bulbs hanging over some tables. Traveling today and stopped in Elkins for dinner, we waited about 10-15 minutes before a host or server brought us to a table, even longer to get the drinks. I ordered ribbon fries and they were out of quaso, so they were dry and bland. My partner got fajitas (his was cold and not seasoned) and I got a 12oz NY strip that was 30$. By far the worst 30$ steak I've ever had. First off it was closer to 7-8 oz, it was wet and lukewarm, and overcooked. It honestly tasted almost like it was microwaved it was so tough! It claimed to be 21 day dry aged, which is laughable. They also were out of potatoes, which left me with the twice baked potatoes which was just half a baked potato with some white cheese on it. My plantains were burnt, all around a less than ideal meal. Also the salad bar was missing half its item and had old wilted lettuce. I wouldn't recommend stopping here.

    El Toro, a Brazilian/Venezuelan Steakhouse, opened this past week in Elkins in the previous location of Duke's Steakhouse. Upon entering, you will find a hostess/cashier area where you will be greeted and seated. I couldn't help but appreciate the beautiful wooden floors and and booths separated by high bead board partitions, Latina artwork on the walls, upbeat music playing and what appears to be a future salad bar area. The entire restaurant and bar is clean and appealing. I placed a to go order of Chicken Tostones (green plantains) trio and Cameron's Al Ajillo (Shrimp w/garlic sauce) with selected sides of white rice and and fries plantains (sweet). As you can tell, I am a big fan of plantains lol. Service was professional and polite. Multiple staff upon seeing me near the counter came by to see if I needed anything while I waited. I learned that the manager had placed the wrong appetizer for my order but she caught it before bringing my order out and gave me that appetizer to try for free! The food looks, smells and tastes delicious. Care is definitely taken for presentation as well. I'd love a bit more quantity of the the appetizers for the price but it isn't a deal breaker, I will definitely be back. Kudos to the manager/owner and staff! Welcome to the area.

    Loved the service and the ambiance. Sitting outside on a lovely evening surrounded by mountains was…read morelovely. The food...well...there is always room for improvement. The menu seems to be all over the place. I wouldn't call the cuisine any particular genre since there were items that categorically fall under "Mediterranean" as well as "Asian-fusion". Two things in particular that didn't make sense to me. The tofu on the Mediterranean bowl. Tofu marinated in soy sauce is not what comes to mind when I'm thinking of any country in the Mediterranean. Also, the tasting menu has an option for an entree choice of veal shank. I was informed there would be an upcharge since it's a pricier menu item, which is totally acceptable. What I was not prepared for was a giant cut of meat (it had to have been 10oz or more) with a huge bone still attached. The portion did not fit with a tasting menu. Luckily, my husband has the appetite of a small horse so he finished it.

    My favorite restaurant in West Virginia, hands down!…read more Why? 1.) Their service is outstanding 2.) The location is outstanding 3.) Their food is outstanding After years of passing by this place and literally driving up to it a couple of times and wanting to go in, I never did. I don't know why. I guess I was saving it for the special night me and my girlfriend had here. It was an epic night in all-regards. It was a fall evening and we had reservations for 6:30 pm. It was a perfect time as the sun was starting to set and the temps were just right but the pole heater made it that much better. We started off with: - Big Timber IPA (me) - Dandelion Martini (gf) - House Bread and Butter (share) - Spread Plate (share) The beer is always my go to at local restaurants because it pairs well with any food. My girlfriend's martini was super tasty and she enjoyed it a lot. FYI: I love when local restaurants support local businesses like Big Timber. Good for you! The bread was freshly baked and I believe the butter is made in house. Very good! The spread plate consisted of three pates to which all were incredible but the smoked trout was our favorite. The cucumber salad and oils and herbs were very flavorful and paired excellent with the crostini's. I could eat this every day. Highly recommended. Our entrees: - Vegetarian Delight (me) - Striped Bass (gf) The vegetarian delight is one of my favorite dishes at any restaurant. It's the perfect mix of flavors and textures in one dish. The dumplings packed a punch of flavors, the soy garlic chili Korean rice omelet was superb, the aji panco miso was flavorful, the rice and vegetable croquets tasted like a little pocket of heaven, the poblano mayo added even more flavor to each bite I took and the jicama salad was excellent. I highly recommend you get this even if you're not vegetarian, it's that good, trust me! My girlfriend's striped bass was cooked to perfection. The tamarind chili sauce it was cook in was the perfect balance with the light flaky texture of the fish. Add the lemon ginger rice to each bite of fish for an umami explosion. Then add on top of that the garlic chips takes this dish over the top to flavor heaven. She loved it and so did I as I finished the remaining portion she couldn't finish. This place has so much to offer in all-regards to the interior and exterior. It's very clean and the staff are top notch. I wish we could have booked a room upstairs the night we ate here though because that would have made our night that much better, but every room was booked. We ended up stayed at a local place right over the hill because we wanted to celebrate and didn't want to drive far. Sadly the place we stayed at was horrible but this place took away from that experience and made us have a beautiful evening regardless. We are looking forward to coming back in the next couple months for a nice fall evening dinner and exploring your menu(possibly the six course tasting menu) and eating a wide variety of your seasonal appetizers, entrees, and deserts and having drinks on the patio to take in that view or in the bar area to enjoy conversation with locals. Thank you for the wonderful evening :) 6 Stars ;)

    Recommended by another local restaurant... In town to ride…read morethe train. Nice ambiance in the first level of a house, but apparently understaffed ( guess this is a common theme in Elkins)...waited about 5-10 minutes to be greeted until my husband went directly to a server. Eventually seated. Hubby enjoyed his food: a spicy shrimp soup and chicken empanadas. My food was just ok; an acorn squash soup that was a bit bland and one of their specials, sweet and spicy Thai with chicken: chicken overcooked, not too much of it, and prepared in corn/cheese (?), which I wasn't expecting. Rice was rather bland, too. Server was friendly, but not very attentive. Probably because she was back and forth to the back room where there's a bar and a DJ ( at lest when we were there last night). The 2 glasses of sangria were good, and the total bill came to about $52 without tip. This could have been such a better experience; management take notice regarding staffing but maybe that's a continuation of a bad trend...

I did manage to get there on Saturday just as they opened for dinner. El Gran Sabor is located in a converted vintage home; there is a small bar area and a medium sized dining room. The decor is comfortable and homey. Service was good and the menu pulls from both Mexican and Venezuelan cuisine which sounded like a great idea after a hard day of skiing. I ended up ordering the Shrimp Cachapa since I had not had this item before. This is a corn pancake topped with shrimp, vegies and cheese sided with rice and beans. A very tasty dish and just the kind of balanced meal to have after a day of exercising; also an item I have not seen on other menus before so I always like to try new things. I also really enjoyed the cup of spicy shrimp soup that came with the meal, rich shrimp flavor with a nice hit of spice warmed me to the core and got the meal off to a great start. I would strongly recommend El Gran Sabor if you are looking for a meal in Elkins, this was far and away the best meal I had during my visit and I would head back if I were in the area again. Definitely the culinary highlight of my vacation.
