Great old bar scene. Good food, good music and great atmosphere. Friendly service but hours are a little quirky.

Love the vibe and the staff at this place. Wish they had a few more non-meat items on the menu and I might stay for that second drink.

What a fantastic team and restaurant. Each and every evening we are guests at Elm is a great time…read more Service is amazing. Many team members have managed Elm for several years, and you feel this in their service. The restaurant has a lovely, warm vibe overall. The lighting is soft and interior design makes it a perfectly cozy spot to enjoy a nice dinner. We love the deviled eggs, steak tartare, dates -- all of the shared plates are truly great. Pasta dishes are always cooked perfectly al dente. I really like the rigatoni. Seems everything I've had here has been wonderful, including the cocktails! For dessert, we love the chocolate lava cake because who doesn't? Special thanks to the Elm team who makes every experience a fun and memorable one!

*** update... I put this same review on google and it was "hearted" but never addressed. Absolutely…read moredisgusting! It's unfortunate that I have to write this review because the food is genuinely great. However, the way my family was treated by management was extremely disappointing and left us feeling unwelcome. My parents recently visited this location with my 13-month-old nephew. As anyone who has been around a toddler knows, children at that age can sometimes be a little loud. My parents were doing their best to keep him calm while also being considerate of the people around them. To be clear, my nephew was not crying, screaming, or throwing a tantrum. He is 13 months old and does not yet speak, so he was simply babbling, vocalizing, and making normal toddler sounds. At one point, a couple seated nearby apparently did not appreciate the noise and asked to be moved, which is completely understandable and within their right. What was upsetting was how management chose to handle the situation afterward. The manager approached my parents twice to tell them to quiet the baby down. My parents had not even finished their meals when the check was brought to their table, making them feel as though they were being rushed out. They also felt that they were being stared down by staff as they gathered their things and left. What makes this experience even more concerning is that another American family in the restaurant had a young child who was also making noise and behaving similarly, yet, from what my parents observed, that family was not approached or treated in the same manner. My parents are people of color and speak only Spanish. Given the noticeable difference in how the two families were treated, it is difficult for us not to question why my parents were singled out. While I obviously cannot know the manager's intentions, the experience left my parents feeling that their race, ethnicity, and/or inability to speak English may have played a role in how they were treated. Seeing another family with a young child engaging in similar behavior without receiving the same response only made that concern more significant. My parents were paying customers just like everyone else in the restaurant. They deserved the same courtesy, patience, and opportunity to enjoy and finish their meal without being made to feel like they were a problem or needed to leave. Having a young child with them should not have changed the level of respect or hospitality they received. Restaurants are public spaces, and families with young children should be treated with dignity and respect. We completely understand that management has a responsibility to maintain a comfortable environment for all guests. However, that responsibility should be handled fairly and consistently. If one family is repeatedly approached because of normal toddler noise while another family experiencing the same situation is left alone, it understandably raises concerns about unequal treatment. Good food does not make up for making paying customers feel embarrassed, singled out, or unwelcome. I sincerely hope management reflects on how this situation was handled and ensures that all customers--regardless of their race, ethnicity, the language they speak, or whether they are dining with a young child--are treated with the same level of dignity, patience, and respect.

This was one of the most delightful restaurants I've found recently. The food menu offers a lot of…read moregreat options. And the food is well made. The service was excellent too.

the classic - this is supposed to be focaccia with…read moreprosciutto but it tasted more like thick, hard, and dry panini without too much flavor - i couldnt remember much of how it tasted other than the fact that it was dry and salty breakfast burrito - a pretty good breakfast burrito! It was on the healthier side as in it was filled with eggs and veggies and i didnt feel like chugging water after the meal - i wish there was avocado, tater tots, and some meat with more fatty aroma though, such as brisket, but this is more so just personal preference butternut squash salad - surprisingly one of my fav dishes out of the 4 because it was light and healthy... AND i love the generous amount of butternut squash included french toast - my least favorite dish because it was too soft and soggy; the toast had a cinnamon aftertaste that i didnt like - it just didnt taste much like french toast to me with no aroma at all - would skip this because it just didnt deliver rating: 3.2/5 - food wasnt bad but nothing stood out and all dishes could improve - not the best brunch spot ive had but decent for a little gathering in a little small town - the service was alright; we were sat in the scorching sun and were burning so we asked if one of the umbrellas could be adjusted and moved to provide a bit more shade for us and they immediately shut us off saying no; we had to manually do it ourselves ; there were just so many ways to solve the problem but they didn't seem to be bothered to help IG: @chae.nom.noms
