| - I would give this restaurant 1 star, but the food itself was not too bad, so I am giving it 2 stars. We found this restaurant via Groupon, so we decided to give it a try. I will say this: the food options are great for anyone who is trying to eat healthfully. That is the only positive I can mention. The service is some of the worst I've ever encountered. We waited 7 minutes or so just to be acknowledged at the front door, and I finally flagged down a girl w/ dreadlocks & kneesocks, who rudely said "I'm not your server, but I'll find you a table". Wow - Thank you so much for doing your job! After being sat, we waited and waited....and waited until finally flagging down our server. she was the only server working, but the restaurant was not even busy - she had maybe 3 or 4 other tables but seemed completely overwhelmed. We placed our entire order (since we were only there during our lunch hour) - and also because we weren't sure when we'd see her again. The hummus arrived, and I will admit: it was delicious. HOWEVER, the portion size was absurd - It was barely more than 2 tablespoons of hummus on the plate. Give me a break! We got the lemongrass chicken wrap, which I would definitely go back for (for takeout only) - and we also ordered the italian sandwich, which was just OK.
The ambience in Elixir is awful - It's a nice-sized space with potential, but is decorated in a way that makes it look tacky, cold and unwelcoming. Ick.
I would never eat in this 'restaurant' again, but would consider getting takeout, because the food itself was pretty good. The service, on the other hand, is embarassing and I would be shocked if they were still open this time next year.
