| - Elbow Room was the first restaurant I've tried on the Ellsworth Ave strip between Negley and College. Considering that I've already been here for almost half a year, living only a couple blocks away, I should frequent this block much more often.
I came here for a simple dinner with a lab partner. The lighting is relatively dim, with dark wood finishes and all that. however, the crowd overall wasn't quite the couples on a romantic date type thing, so don't filter this place out if you just want to hang out with a couple friends - that exact crowd occupied the majority of the restaurant that night.
Based on the previous reviews and my experience, there is always an insert in the menu with seasonal items. I got one of their crusted tilapia dishes, which on the menu, is served with regular fries and other things, but not sweet potato fries. I kindly asked my server whether the substitution for sweet potato fries could be make, and she gladly fulfilled my request without charging me any extra. my friend got the beef bourguignon, which tasted average.
for any of my friends who come to town to visit me, I'll probably take them here for its location and non-bar-type food options. the waitstaff is friendly, and i'm looking forward to coming here again to try an item off their extensive dessert menu.
