Cambodian
The Elephant Walk serves Award-Winning Cambodian and French cuisine with extensive vegetarian and gluten-free selections. Cambodian cooking is beautiful and delicious, but still rare in America. Less hot and sweet than Thai, richer and more complex than Vietnamese, the complex spice pastes that are the foundation of many Cambodian dishes reflect Cambodia’s Indian ancestry (but use fresh rather than dried spices). Our Cambodian and French selections encompass both traditional and original dishes created by our Chef Nadsa de Monteiro, who was raised in Phnom Penh speaking both Cambodian and French and subsequently lived in France for many years. Our Cambodian-and-French theme is an authentic reflection of our roots!

    A little busy so service was slow. Curry was good! Coconut dessert was a little disappointing but we loved the chocolate torte.

    I finally had the opportunity to go to Elephant Week during Dine out Week. The food was spectacular—living up to the hipe. It was quite loud on a Friday night, but I could hear everyone at my table. The staff was friendly, but not the most knowledgeable about the dishes. The drinks were ok. I’d recommend this place for the interesting and amazing food quality.

    The food is outstanding. The sauces are masterful and incredibly delicious! We all also enjoyed the very creative cocktails! I had the Psychedelic which was awesome - each sip had a wonderful flavor and was so refreshing! We were greated maybe by the owner when we walked in and then we spoke to him on the way out. He was extremely welcoming and friendly. We can’t wait to go back!!!

    Elephant Walk, as always, was excellent. The food is eclectic. The waitstaff was engaging.Best of all, there are plenty of gluten free options. The only complaint that I have is that we were asked to abandon our table and make way for another party. I am so used to a European mindset, that the table is yours for the night and you are not rushed.

We got vegetarian Rouleaux, Bavette à l'Echalotte, Frites Maison, Légumes et Tofu grilles, Curry au Gingembre Poulet Rôti, Sauce Citron et Romarin. Mousse aux Fruits de la Passion for dessert. Everything was tasty! Good portions too. Staff is extremely friendly yet professional. Very cute date place. Will be coming back for sure.

    Food was awesome and our server Wayne was equally awesome. He was incredibly engaging and just overall nice. We just got engaged and the French Cambodian cuisine was very intriguing. We felt very at home and even got a free dessert at the end of the night as a congratulations. This place is awesome if you’re looking for something different from the usual places you might be getting sick of. I would highly recommend.

    The people were very very nice and overall it was a great experience. To be fair, though, we had a reservation for 8:30 and weren’t able to get a table until 9:00, at which point the service was a bit slow. Food was great though, and overall the atmosphere was wonderful. Would most certainly go again, just be prepared to take your time with the experience.

    Always a pleasure to dine here. Warm welcome, attentive service, beautifully presented and tastefully prepared dinners are the norm. Nearby on street parking is another asset. The beer and wine selections are diverse and outstanding. Whichever side of the menu one chooses, French or Cambodian, the dishes are consistently pleasing.

    Service was great, food quality was amazing. Our server made the best recommendations. Our drinks were heavy handed- always a plus in my book- ambiance was nice, not to loud. My husband and I moved to FL 7 years and visit the elephant walk every year, whenever we are back in town. A great date night dinner spot.

    Food was good, our waiter/bartender was great. In the other hand the hostess/ waiter sitting people last night was extremely rude. It is unfortunate since the food was good but we are not coming back. The place wasn’t even full or busy for the waiter to be stressed out and thus lashing out on us.
