   I met my friend at Elmos which is her favorite restaurant. The decor is beautiful but we were disappointed with the outcome of the food. We ordered the Elmo burgers. My friend asked for medium rare and I asked for medium well. They both came back well done! The funny part is NO ONE was dining there for lunch when we arrived and the chef STILL got it wrong. The waitress offered to have the chef redo my friend's order but I told her that would put us off kilter in terms of finishing at the same time. There was no excuse for this to happen!

    Elmo was wonderful! The food is without a doubt some of the most delicious food my partner and I have had - and the portions are wonderful. The servers were also very kind and courteous. We opted to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather but be warned, it gets NOISY. The subway and street contribute to that - but it didn't really phase us as noise is part of the city. Just something to consider if you want to be outdoors. Overall, such a lovely experience and we will be back!

    First of all, all the service staff were friendly, professional, helpful, and fun. Second of all, the food was terrific! I had salmon and it was cooked perfectly; my fellow diners had the fish tacos (big and tasty) and a burger (juicy and tasty). Third, the decor was modern with mid-century touches (Saarinen-type chairs) and muted colors. Overall, I would highly recommend this place, and plan to return again myself.

    Food is very good, with plentiful portions and lots of choice. Service is as attentive and needed and both pleasant and efficient. The entire experience, though, is wrecked by a noise level so high that having a conversation, even shouted, is nearly impossible. Perhaps a booth at the back would be helpful, but even a table in a corner behind a wall didn't do much to make the noise level tolerable.

    Good food. The Elmo bites is a great choice as a starter. The problem is management/ service. In the middle of our dinner the waitress announced the she was off and another waiter would take over. No problem of course. The problem was that the new waiter never came to our table. We had to get up from our table to ask for more water. No one asked if we wanted desert etc. It was definitely not a busy night but the remaining waiters were more interested in chatting amongst themselves than doing their job. When we left we told the manager who said they just discussed it. ?????what about doing something about it instead. Come to our table and apologize. Obviously the manager was really not up to his job

    We love Elmo. Friendly comfortable and openly gay. The food is always good and consistent. The wait staff is always friendly. Halloween was odd because they all had masks on 'tis the season. and a must on Halloween night. We will be back again and again.

    I have been to Elmo’s many times. The food and drinks are always good and it’s a good atmosphere. I suggested Elmo’s for a lunch reunion with a friend I hadn’t seen in 2 years due to the pandemic. She had never been there. We started with a bottle of Prosecco and then shared the appetizer sampler. We chose the chicken wings, roasted Brussel sprouts and the friend calamari. Each was tasty and it was a generous serving of each. We then shared the chocolate fudge brownie with ice cream. Our server was friendly. We had a leisurely lunch with time to catch up. It was a perfect place to have our reunion. You need to show ID and proof of COVID vaccination. I will be going back with a larger group fir Sunday brunch. Unfortunately, they don’t take reservations for Sunday brunch. were getting together after almost 2 years

    Elmo is a lovely restaurant. I pretty much enjoy it every time I go. The salmon BLT is great. Likewise the cobb salad. The tomato soup is wonderful, although I preferred it back in the day when they garnished it with a quarter of a grilled cheese sandwich. But that's a minor quibble.
