    Was at the Lincoln Financial for an event and decided to have a late lunch with a couple of coworkers. What a beautiful place to dine at. Decor is astonishing and employees are super friendly and helpful. Food was amazing and drink was delicious. I would love to stop in for a date night in the future.

    Checked out this amazing Asian fusion restaurant for happy hour and it did not disappoint! Everything on the happy hour menu is only $8 and it includes rolls and fun bites! The dumplings were especially good and I will definitely be back to try their full menu!!

    The Blue Elephant is a beautiful space--smaller downstairs, larger upstairs (split staircase without an elevator). A portion of the upstairs is divided by sliding steel/glass doors, which looks like it'd work for a semi-private event. Service was great--our server helped with a drink suggestion and relaying some food allergies to the chef and staff. I enjoyed a lovely Pineapple Basil No-jito (pineapple puree, thai basil, yuzu ginger syrup, soda). For our starters, we shared: - Seaweed (sesame seeds); and - Main Line sushi roll (spicy tuna, scallions, avocado, tempura crunch, eel sauce): a solid sushi roll, no notes! Mains: - Tom Yum Koong (shrimp, squid ink creste di gallo pasta, lemongrass, galangal, bird eye chili, cilantro, kaffir lime dust): a beautiful plate with wonderful flavor; - Drunken Noodles (wok stir-fried wide nodles, eggs, bell peppers, spicy thai basil chili with tofu): so pleased to learn the chef is Thai--this plate was perfectly balanced with salt, fat, acid, and heat; - Poke Bowl (sushi rice, scallions, edamame, shiitake mushrooms, cucumber, jalapeno, fried shallots, spicy aioli, eel sauce with tuna); - Branzino (edamame puree, sauteed garlic spinach, wild mushrooms, tom kha beurre blanc, kaffir lime dust). Would definitely return if out that way again!

    Had an incredible time at The Blue Elephant. I've been trying to explore more places in the burbs and heard great things. They delivered well. From the food to the ambiance to the service. All excellent. It's a large menu with various flavor profiles. Tons of options for everyone's taste. We ran the gambit. Massaman dish was hardy, tender, flavorful and delicious. I can't stop thinking about the sai ua gnocchi sardi. Very unique dish blending a handful of cultures. It really works and I want more. Truffle fries are addicting and the sushi stole the show. Fusions usually aren't my favorite but this is by far the best combination I've had. The restaurant itself was dope. Elephant themes everywhere. Dramatic stairs to the upstairs dining room. I loved the feel. Our waitress was awesome. Helpful, funny, and personal. All things that are the mark of a great spot. Looking forward to coming back and eating my way through the menu.

    I ordered takeout for a treat as I was in Wayne for something else. The app had said it would be an hour, but the guy in front of the house made sure the kitchen knew I was there and he found me a comfortable place to wait. I did like the elephants decorating the place. Both items had a nice presentation within the containers. My avocado salad was very fresh. The crudo wasn't my favorite as I don't like tart or vinegar and the liquid it was sitting in tended in that direction.

    Had a really good experience here. Good service and food, and we were kindly given a complementary dessert because we were dining for our anniversary. We ordered the pork gyoza and spicy tuna roll for apps. Both were good flavor. For an entree, I did the teriyaki eggplant which was amazing. Cooked perfectly, loved the sauce, and the green beans were some of the best I've ever had. Husband got the crab fried rice which was very good. The restaurant itself is very beautiful inside, and I loved the gold chopsticks! Will come again.

    After a long, delayed flight from the West Coast, I arrived at this restaurant hoping for a relaxing meal. I chose to sit at the bar, where three seats were empty. Despite sitting there visibly and even raising my hand to get the bartender's attention, he-- a white male with dark brown hair tied in a ponytail--never once acknowledged me. He served guests seated on either side of me but completely ignored my presence. Fifteen minutes passed without so much as a menu. Then, a man sat down next to me, and within 30 seconds, the bartender greeted him, handed him a menu, and took his drink order. Only after I waved him down again did he finally bring me a menu. At that point, I decided I'd be ordering my food to go--he wasn't getting a single extra dollar from me. Unfortunately, the food was just as disappointing as the service. It lacked flavor, and the only mildly redeeming dish was the chicken lettuce cups. As I left with my takeout bag, a couple took the bar seats I had just vacated--and of course, the bartender immediately handed them menus as they sat down. This experience was disheartening and frustrating from start to finish.

    My experience at The Blue Elephant was 10/10. From the moment I arrived, the entire staff including the host, our waiter, and the bartenders were all so kind and very attentive. My friend and I ordered quite the spread - chicken lettuce wraps, steamed gyoza, shrimp tempura hand rolls, short rib, and drunken noodles. The portion sizes were very generous and the prices were (mostly) reasonable. The Peachy Queen cocktail was $17 (which I thought was pricey for an ordinary cocktail). But The Blue Elephant on the other hand ($13) was a much better drink in my opinion. While the food was delicious and the staff were amazing, the tables were very small. As much food as we ordered, I wish we had a little more space to comfortably enjoy our meal. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at The Blue Elephant. I can't wait to check them out again for brunch and happy hour.

    I LOVE this spot. The atmosphere is super cute although I was a little bummed we ended up in the bar area. If you want something a little less loud and crowded, upstairs is a better option. The spicy salmon appetizer was by far the best thing we chose. The sushi rolls were a great appetizer option. The fried rice and drunken noodles were excellent. The eggplant entree was not was my friend expected, it was a lot of fried food. The salad was very peanut buttery. I would ask your server for recs or check out the pictures before you spend the money.

    Birthday dinner review! Usually, it takes some digging for me to decide on a place perfect for my birthday feast. But when I found out that the restaurant team behind favorites of mine like Azie and Mikado Thai Pepper had a fusion restaurant that merged Japanese and Thai cuisine with Italian. And the end result was perfect fusion without the confusion. The interior was posh and featured a lot of the decor played to the elephant theme. The service was spot on with their recommendations, and the bar poured tantalizing cocktails and mocktails while also featuring an exceptional beer and wine list. The miso old-fashioned was smoky and flavorful with its Suntory Toki whiskey, miso, and bitters. The seasonal Fallen Leaves cockail was a surprising tiki concoction with Bulleit Rye, kabocha squash orgeat, blood orange, and lime. The Italian and Asian fusion shined throughout whether it was through items like a red curry duck pappardelle, edamame truffle tortellini, panko breaded eggplant teriyaki, and a wasabi Caesar salad. But for our dinner we indulged upon the following: Kobe Beef Hot Rock - perfectly seared by us kobe beef with an incredible ponzu sauce! Signature Nigiri - when you get a chef's selection of five perfectly prepared pieces of nigiri you tend to enjoy it before taking a picture! Senza "Tuna" Rolls - vegan sushi is something I've never been curious to try before, but seeing spicy tuna done with soy-marinated bell peppers, carrots, pickled daikon, and a tofu-based spicy aioli was something that unexpectedly delivered. Green Curry Lobster - a classic made even better when it is paired with a basil mafaldine pasta, white wine! Passion Fruit Chocolate Cake - a perfect mix of decadent chocolate and tropical fruit that should not work but absolutely did! Toss in a weekday happy hour, a late-night happy hour on Friday and Saturday, and a Sunday brunch buffet and you have plenty of reasons to check here out!

    Food was great and the service was excellent. My mom is a very picky eater and they were able to accommodate her. My aunt and her ordered the chicken sandwich and fries and said it was really good! I got the California roll, shrimp tempura roll that came with miso soup. Very good! Bathroom is clean and the restaurant is so cute and kinda small.

    4.5 Came back for happy hour and saw they updated their HH menu! The shishito peppers were the favorite of the table. Salmon canapé would've been a strong contender but there's only 3 small pieces for $8. Also felt like the umami tots weren't worth the price, it's just tatter tots with spicy mayo. The corn fritters were crispy and indulgent. Probably should've gotten less fried food but that's our own fault. We ordered the green dragon roll and it was really good and unique for a vegetarian roll. I would come back to try their normal menu or their Sunday brunch.

    Beautiful looking space and we only saw the main floor. Our server Charlie was fun to talk to as well as informed. They have a large menu but not overwhelming with many very interesting sounding choices. They present themselves as Italian Asian Fusion. The Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich was gigantic as well as delicious. It had the right combination of heat and sweet with cabbage slaw, soy garlic gochujang (spicy red chili paste) and pickled cucumbers. The Wild Mushroom Agnolotti pasta with seared shiitake and black garlic reduction was also a hit. With various cocktails and beer available it was a very different and fun experience. A great place to check out.

    I went there with a few friends on a Saturday night and surprisingly the place was fairly empty…read more We were seated upstairs in one of the private rooms which was nice and cozy & intimate. The food was very good; however, the service was a bit on the slow side. I hate to in-a-sense penalize a restaurant because of poor or slow service could easily have been just our server. Had we had a different server, perhaps the service would have been different. Everything on the menu was on the more expensive side, but Maison Lotus is located in the Main Line, so prices will be on the higher side, because the general clientele can afford it. Overall, we had a good experience, good food, & ambience.

    My coworkers and I came here for happy hour last night. First off the restaurant interior is so so…read morebeautiful! I love the green wallpaper with golden accents. It gives a tropical/jungle vibe. We all sat at the very nice curved bar and ordered a bunch of drinks and different food items on happy and off the happy hour. I got the lychee martini ($8) which was pretty and good! A bit more of a floral taste from the rose then actual lychee. I also got the $7 sparkling wine which was also good. The happy hour menu is small but has some good items. The salmon crudo and Korean fried chicken bao buns were a hit with our crowd. My coworkers also enjoyed the mussels, mushroom bisque, drunken noodles and seafood curry fried rice. I got a the waygu pho which had a nice broth (even though it was lukewarm) and a decent amount of meat. Pretty good pho but not sure if it was worth the price tag. Overall it was a good time until we had to settle our bill. Some coworkers left and paid their portion but at the end the bartender decided to put the rest on one tab which made paying super confusing. I think next time we will be upfront and set up separate tabs. I would love to come back and try their AYCE dim sum Sunday in the future!

Our server Angela greeted us right away. She introduced herself and asked if we were celebrating. She was very sweet and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. We had the arancini (3) which is amazing! and the pesce cruda, yellow tale with lemon, radish snap peas and sesame. We then had Casoncelli a veal stuffed pasta with golden raisins, amaretti and parmigiana as well as Siscillian Meatballs (3) served in escarole broda, crumble pine nuts and parmigiana. We had no room but still got dessert! The pistachio cream cake with cherry jubilee and a beautiful flor de latte ! we also had the espresso ice cream cake with toffee and salted caramel. I can not put into words how delicious and beautiful everything was! it was art on a plate. We wanted to compliment the chef and he came out to thank us!!! What a talented and nice man. Thank you Angela for superb service and making our experience so memorable and to Jesse for the absolutely incredible food and his down to earth spirit! We highly recommend and will come back!!! Hopefully we can have Angela again!

    The experience was a little bizarre. Their website says "Rosalie doesn't allow reservations for 1,…read moreplease just walk in". I walked in, as directed, just for a very flustered man at the front of the house to fumble with his system for a good 10 mins. Telling me there was a table, then taking it back and saying there were no tables for the night, then saying nevermind and making me a reservation for two (which I would have done if not discouraged by the website) for half an hour later. At this point I already had a very bad taste in my mouth from the level of chaos. I waited outside for my table. When I got to my table I will say my server was very nice until a strange comment came up at dessert. Once I ordered my dessert, he left and came back with two spoons, saying "I brought two spoons for us." It almost seemed implied he'd join me. I dine a lot alone, voluntarily. Most of the time it's after work and I really don't want, let alone need, company. His comment gave me anxiety as I wondered how I would politely tell this man I wanted to dine alone. When he brought the dessert he did not join me but made sure to say "I'll be back for a few bites." Maybe it was a joke but to me it was very odd and made me pretty uncomfortable. I gave three stars just for the Cacio e Pepe. It was very good. I did (without giving tmi) have a very sick stomach after the meal and the morning after so I wouldn't return just incase that was the cause. Like a said... a weird experience.
