   This was our first visit after a recommendation from a friend. The food was delicious, the service and our server were very attentive and speedy and the owner came over to visit. We enjoyed our time there very much!

   The Salads were super fresh and yummy! They are big so you can share them.

   Our waitress did not check on our table. We had to flag down other people to get refills on water, dressing for our salad and the check.

   Our Sunday brunch tradition. One of the best pancakes in town. Have brought friends with us and they also love the food. We love Charmele(hope I'm spelling that right) who usually takes care of us and we don't even have to order. See you all Sunday.

   Chilachlles at White Elm are worth the trip! Neighborhood Gem, but worth a trip from downtown just for the Chillachilles!

    The food was very good. The service was slow. I left my credit card there and they said they could not find it. That is not good.

    Food was good. The service was poor. We asked for light ice for the drinks for the kids and were immediately told by the server that the drinks will be less than full!! That was a surprising statement to make to a customer but ok, I understand and I let it go. I asked for ketchup for my omelette, and got 1/4th of small stainless steel cup of ketchup. Really! That much of ketchup will not do for even half of the omelette. Felt like that they are trying to cost control. I don’t mind paying for it, but this kind of cheap cost cutting did not leave a good impression. Very poor service. Unsure if it was the server doing this or she has been instructed by her management to do so.

    Great find for "something different" business lunch spot in the energy corridor. Corn chowder and the "fritas" appi were delicious. Service was prompt and noise level ok for business discussion. Will be back.

    This was our first visit. Initially we were very disappointed to learn that lunch on Saturday does not begin until 3pm. Our bad for not noticing this on the web site. Fortunately, our waitress, Charmelle, was really kind and patient with us. We had the burrata & heirloom tomato salad. The burrata was nice and creamy. I ordered the hamburger (yes there is one on the breakfast menu). The burger was fine, and their French fries were great. My wife had the quiche which was different than the usual firm and sometimes dry quiche. It was very creamy and quite good. I had my mind set on the duck bah mi and my wife wanted the Vadouvan Curry Chicken Salad. In the end it would have been a disappointing lunch, except for Charmelle who charmed us into liking what we ordered off the breakfast menu. The food is good and if I am in the area again, I would stop by for lunch...but during the week when lunch is served at the more conventional time.

    Dined early, but the restaurant remained quiet enough for conversation even as it began to fill. Really appreciated being able to hear my partner. The last place we dined had great food, but we had difficulty hearing one another. This is a lovely and delicious restaurant.

    We enjoyed our first visit to White Elm. The dining areas are very attractive, with nice spacing between the tables. Our server was very good, but it did seem like she was covering most of not all the tables which made service a bit choppy. Our meals( meatloaf and Thai salad with salmon) were vtasty and our cocktails were very reasonably priced. The total check was a pleasant surprise.

    Food was just ok. Vanilla blueberry cake was soooo dry we had to say something. They gave us a different dessert which was nice. Service was slow. Had to flag other waiters down for help and it wasn’t busy at all. With all the write ups about it in Memorial magazines, we were expecting yummier. I like the decor!

    We had a delicious meal. Bacon wrapped meatloaf with crisp veggies over a bed of mashed potatoes. Enough to have a bit for lunch the next day. French Dip Sandwich on a baguette was ver flavorful. Happy Hour $5 glass hit the spot. Friendly service.

    For lunch on Sunday, be prepared to order from the specified brunch menu. I wasn’t able to order some of my favorites, but still lovely choices. I would recommend trying a Farmacy Elixir and the White Elm Salad!

    Had Sunday brunch from their limited brunch menu. I ordered the White Elm Omelette. It was kind of dry. A sauce would have been nice. My wife had the quiche. It was better but the crust was tough. Hard to slice through with a table knife. The potatoes were good but looked like deep fried cubes with a nice seasoning. We sat outside and waited a long time for someone to take our drink order. Maybe they forgot us. I might be back but if asked, I'd recommend somewhere else to friends.
