I’ve been coming to American Elm for several years now, and I had the best experience with the bartender, I’m blanking on her name, but she’s got short hair and we bonded over our hatred of Texas and the heat. She was so accommodating and sweet and genuine, and I had a blast dining alone at the bar with her. She was able to meet my dietary needs with ease, making modifications so I could satisfy my cravings. I’ve always loved the food, the ambiance, and the crew, but she just so great I’m trying to find a reason to go back and chat at the bar with her and eat some damn good food. If you’re seeing this, just know you absolutely made my day and I hope I get the pleasure of being served by you again sometime soon.

We had a wonderful evening on the patio. This is a great place to sit outside, have a drink and enjoy appetizers. The deviled eggs were delicious. The whipped ricotta wonderful, but more honey please! The rest of the meal was good, not exceptional. We would definitely return for drinks and apps.

No idea where all these positive reviews come from.

We had the corn fritters which were basically dough balls with 2-3 piece of corn per golf ball size ball. Were disgusting.

All the veggies in their pasta tasted sale and frozen. Expected way higher quality for the price and all the positive reviews.

1. Almondine trout. I know it's a favorite dish of the house but it's flavorless and needs an accompanying sauce.I had to ask for salt, which I rarely do. I did, however, appreciate the crunchiness of the crust.
2. Sweet potato fries were overcooked and thus overly crunchy.
NO
1. Living Wage 5% tax added to bill. Tacky. Boost your employees wage by 5%.

Really disappointing. We’re in town visiting and this place came recommended. The pasta was overcooked and flavorless—like it had been sitting around all day. The sauce was greasy and bland, and nothing tasted fresh.

To make matters worse, the service was inattentive and dismissive (not to mention poorly groomed.) He barely checked in, and when we mentioned the food wasn’t great, he seemed annoyed.

Save your time and money—there are far better places to eat.
