This was my first time to the Elbow Room, since it's return and it was highly disappointing. We checked on NoWait and were excited to see that there wasn't a queue on our walk to the restaurant. Upon arrival, however, we were seated in Bites and Brews with an Elbow Room menu. The menu is also different than the menu listed on line. It doesn't contain any entrees and the only evidence of mac and cheese is as a side. Needless to say, this was not the experience we expected.
Next we ordered drinks. The beer that I ordered, which I'd had twice in the previous two weeks at different bars, did not taste remotely like it should. It felt like the tap lines hadn't been cleaned in awhile.
Our food was also a mess. The Bourbon Burger was inconsistently prepared. Some bites tasted like a plain cheese burger and others tasted like it was drowning in maple syrup. The fries were also strange. Some were under cooked, some were cooked perfectly and some were crunchy rocks. My girlfriends veg sandwich was a comically bad excuse for vegetarian food. Literally just vegetables on tiny pieces of bread. Not sure if any cooking occurred other than melting a piece of cheese on them.
Upon exiting, we realized that we should've just gone across the street to Tipsy Cow or Harris Grill. This was a terrible use of around $40. Save yourself the pain.
