I've been to various Elephant Bar locations over the past ten or so years since I have moved to the Valley. Initially, I had very positive experiences there. Lately, however, it's been sliding in the opposite direction. This time I had one of their specials- grilled pork. Honestly, I can grill the pork better than their chef did. It was dry and overcooked; only the sauce made it at all edible. The mashed potatoes and vegetables were fine, I suppose, but hardly high caliber. My partner had something with shrimp in it, and he commented that they tasted "off".
Considering the cost of the meal, I really expected better. The only saving grace of the entire experience was that we had an excellent server. The best service in the world won't convince me to eat here again, though. Very disappointing. I recommend the Cheesecake Factory nearby if you're looking for good food (with huge portions) in the same price range.
