I liked the old Elbow Room location better, but even then, it would have been a 3 star place. Meh food, meh booze/beer selection and most of all meh service.
Went to lunch and shopping in Shadyside and figured since I had not been here since the move, I should check it out. I felt like I was in the Old Max and Erma's still (where the last time I had been there was around 1998 in college).
When a place is not busy and you still wait for what seems like an eternity for your initial drink order, then even longer to order food (and never got checked on again until the check came), it leaves you not wanting to return and that is the case for me and the Elbow Room.
