A must see in Boca Grande. Very nice ambience with outdoor seating and in the indoor restaurant, which is decorated in American style with high quality wooden furniture. Super friendly service. Great drinks (also non-alcoholic) and IPA on tap. Be sure to try the guacumole and the burger!Parking: Directly adjacent to the restaurant

Sometimes you eat somewhere, can make an easy decision on the number of stars, but don't have too much to say. That's how I'm feeling with this place. But I can squeeze out some comments here for the sake of the Yelp the community :) The service was fantastic and as a gluten free eater, our server helped me with options and I felt confident that what came out to me was in fact gluten free. It was surprising to me though at such a nice restaurant they didn't have any already put-together gluten free menu or anything marked that way on the regular menu. My snapper dish was very good. Is it going to be memorable for some time? I don't think so. But it was cooked well, toppings were great, and my side of mashed potatoes were great also. It was certainly modified to be gluten free as my friend ordered the regular version of it and it did 'look' better. :) This all being said, I think the dishes on the menu are over priced. At $46 for my snapper dish, I have to say it wasn't THAT good. And most dishes were around that price point. The dark wood decor, cozy pink walls, different rooms throughout, and outdoor seating options all made for a well rounded vibe. I would probably eat here again but would second guess it a little bit due to the prices. I'm always a fan of trying a place a second time though and ordering something different.

The food was delicious. The service was excellent. We chose outdoor seating because it was a very nice day. Our iced tea was served with a little pink elephant hanging from the rim of the glass. Nice touch.

Service was great by our server Tracy. I only had onion soup which was good. The prices are high for what you get.

Super cute establishment! We stopped in for a cocktail after a day on the beach. Surrounded by families & guests enjoying dinner both indoors & out, we were glad that we took the trouble beforehand to freshen up a bit & don conservative coverups. No sloppy beach bums here! Great service. Yummy ingredients. Highly recommend.

I was so excited to be back after many years. The food is as fantastic as always. I loved the upgraded umbrellas and seat cushions. Very cute and pink and comfortable. The service was impeccable as well. You must try tor truffle fries and French dip! Easy parking all around. It's very popular so be prepared to wait if it's prime lunch or dinner time. Well worth it

Great service and a beautiful location! The food is delicious- we go back every year and love to sit outside. The mini pink elephants on your drink is always special.

3.75 stars for the pink elephant. They have indoor and outdoor seating/ the outside seating has umbrellas. We did not have a reservation- waited 15 minutes and they got us a table out front. While we waited we got a drink at the bar. The man worked the bar was NOT friendly at all- the girl who brought our drinks didn't even crack a smile. Our waiter was wonderful and told us all the specials and was in a great mood. A storm was coming so he politely moved us inside to a table where we had our meals. My husband got the duck special - he was not aware it would be fried - he said it was alright. I got the New York strip which was also just alright. I had to ask for A1 to give it a little more flavor.

We had an amazing lunch at The Pink Elephant today. We were immediately greeted by Erica who was cheerful and pleasant. We were seated in a beautiful room and waited on by a waiter who I believe was Nick. Our food was good. It was a really nice experience. Amir, the general manager has done a great job with his staff. Thank you.

Food was great but the service was absolutely terrible. It took us almost two hours before we got our food and our waiter never refilled our drinks or checked in on us.

They changed our res time by calling us and offering an earlier time as requested. But when we showed up they hadn't changed our res so there wasn't a table any longer. Food was good however.

Great meal, great ambiance, server was a little annoying, but the tasty snapper and stone crab claws made up for it.
