I always feel a little underdressed no matter what I'm wearing when I go into an Elephant Bar... doesn't matter what location and this location isn't any different.
The sharp decor of the Elephant Bar franchise is definitely appealing to the inner girl. What girl doesn't want to eat in a place who has painted gold trim, old style wallpaper, old trunks as a decor quirk, with wrought iron blown glass lighting?
I have to say I like the layout of this location the best though. I like that I can see through the restaurant and I don't feel like I'm going to get lost.
Sat down with my family in a nice window lit booth and the noise was up but down. I didn't have to yell or anything... I perfectly heard the people across the table.
Service was great. The server was right there, serving drinks and was right up to get our orders when everybody got there.
I ordered the new Pacific Cove Tropical Crab and Shrimp Louie. The picture in the menu just looked scrumptious and so when that plate showed up looking just like the picture, I was totally drooling.
It was excellent. The mix of mangos and tomatos and crab and shrimp and avocado and cucumber with the Louie dressing... mmmmmuah! Yum. And I didn't leave feeling a heavy full or anything like that, but I wasn't aching for dessert either.
I would say ya'll should try it. Even though it is a chain. :)
