I went to lunch with some friends, ordered the bay scallops baked in white wine and butter with a breadcrumb topping. Worst choice ever. The scallops were dry and tough. They tasted like they were cooked the day before and reheated in the microwave.
Service was outstanding. Owner explained specials walked around visiting customers making sure everything was great. Started with shrimp cocktail and stuffed mushrooms. Moved into the scallop dinner and wife had a pasta dish oh and the homemade soup then dessert all food was incredible can’t say enough good about this place
Lexi was our server and she was awesome! We started with stuffed mushrooms and stuffed artichoke. Super yummy. My friends got cocktails and loved them. My friends had seafood while I had chicken parmigiana and it was 10/10. Will be back!

Many customers have praised the food as delicious, with standout items like the fried mozzarella, bruschetta, and stuffed artichokes being highlighted. The chicken parmesan is noted for its tenderness and great sauce, while others enjoyed the salmon dishes. The prices are reasonable and on par with other restaurants. The staff, including the owner, received high marks for their attentiveness and friendliness, creating a nice, casual atmosphere. The portions are described as just right. Customers appreciate the cozy but dark atmosphere, and the waitress Patti and bartender Devin for their excellent service. The food is always top-tier, and the happy hour menu is praised as outrageously good. Customers also enjoy the aesthetics and atmosphere of Elmo's, and the zucchini and onions with red sauce side dish. The lobsters are described as "to die for" by customers new to the area, who say it reminds them of home.
