Overall, very good. Don't order ther New York Strip. Terrible cut of beef. A steak someone would buy at Redners. For $38, a total disappointment. Everything else was great.

Stopped in at the bar today to drink my lunch. Bridget was an amazing bartender. I had a great Manhattan and one of the best espresso martini I've ever had. I'll be back for sure! Thanks Bridget!

Beautiful place but we were seated in FRONT of an EXIT door which was cold and lacked the view of the beautiful room. We will be back but will request to be seated anywhere other than in front of the exit door. Is this even legal?

We came very late for dinner 9pm and at first tgey didn't want to seat us, but they made an exception and I am so grateful. The food was very delicious - the kobe beef, sushi, and pork chop qere absolutely outstanding. Service was excellent. This is located in a building that used to be a bank and it's very chic. I hope to visit again at an earlier time so we enjoy it even more.

Been wanting to visit this restaurant for quite some time now and it did not disappoint. Very beautiful interior, friendly staff, and satisfactory service. I ordered the Pork Belly Ramen and it was surprisingly delicious 🍜😋 My only critique is I wished it had been a bit spicier, but that aside, it certainly still beats store-bought instant ramen by a long shot. 👌💯

Have been here several times over the past few years and the past two times it’s been made abundantly clear the quality from staff to food is just declining. Most recently our food was mediocre- took long, served lukewarm, and overall lacked flavor. All the dishes we ordered we’ve had in the past and were aware of what the “right version” should taste like. Secondly and the main reason for this review was our server. She wad incredibly unpleasant and acted as if us being there was an inconvenience. That was after calling to make a reservation and the host was also rude and seemed untrained. Throughout the visit we were never greeted or checked on by management which isn’t the end of the world but once again was something we always experienced during past visits.

I would recommend the cheesesteak egg rolls to get as an appetizer and then the pastas for an entree 😍 staff is SO amazing and friendly . I did like the umami fries and ramen too but the pastas and gnocchi is just perfect. Cocktail menu isn’t extensive but are by far the best tasting around . The inside is beyond aesthetic and makes for a perfect outing. I’m obsessed .

Our second time here probably last time it was for my wife's 60th birthday Saturday, 10/25/25. Positive: the host, our waiter, and the manager were absolutely priceless. The menu is great, with most dishes being specialties. I ordered green curry lobster fettuccine, which came with lobster claw meat. However, no matter how long I chewed, it wouldn't break down. I set aside each piece that tasted and looked like a fibrous ball. When the waiter asked, I mentioned it. The manager came over, I explained that the meat was freezer-burned and bad, and she agreed after seeing it. She wanted to show it to the chef, who also agreed. I appreciated the offer to take it off the bill. Absolutely a disappointing celebration. This could have been avoided if they had a good, qualified chef who kept track of freshness, vendor delivery dates, and holding times. Even if there was an oversight, it's a chef's job to sample food before the nights serving.

My family reserved a room for my wedding reception. The staff was wonderful. Shout-out to the worker Sarah. She made the event so much easier with her kind words and helpful actions. The place was beautiful and the food was delicious. The crispy Seoul wings were amazing.

This has been on my list for sometime. Happy to have finally ✅ this box. Can't wait to go back! Tempura broccoli is highly recommended. I had the sea bass (honey sauce is incredible), our friend had the chicken teriyaki, and my wife had the pork chop. The seasoned crust on the pork chop was a bit too salty, but you could trim that edge off and still enjoy something delicious. I don't live close by but I can assure you I'll be back. There is street parking, so it should be easy to find a spot. Service was great. Kitchen was a little slow but not a big deal. Clearly the building was a bank in it's former life, but the renovations are very well done. Even though the place was packed it wasn't too loud. Oh you must try the beer bread. It's fantastic

First time at the Blue Elephant. Everything was exceptional. Grabbed a couple drinks at the bar and then got dinner. Food was great, service was wonderful. Can't recommend this place more highly.

Very Disappointing Lunch Experience”
I stopped in for lunch today and honestly wish I hadn’t. The food was cold, bland, and completely lacking flavour — nothing like what Thai food should be. My curry had no spice or aroma, just a watery sauce and overcooked vegetables. The rice was lukewarm and clumpy, like it had been sitting out too long.
Thai food is usually fresh, vibrant, and full of taste — but this was the total opposite. For the price, I expected at least a decent meal, but everything tasted tired and thrown together.
⭐☆☆☆☆ — Cold food, no flavour, not worth the visit.
The food and service during dinner was amazing. However we filled up on appetizers and hardly ate any of our dinner. Our waiter asked if he could box our food and we said yes. We were having a great time with our friends that it never occurred to us that he didn’t return with our food. As soon as we walked out the restaurant we realized he never brought our food back. We immediately went back inside but nobody could locate our food. They just left it at that. Never offered to remake it or anything. For that we won’t be returning. I understand that we didn’t say anything when we were at the table but we literally only made it 10 feet outside the restaurant when we realized our food was missing. I just feel that for the cost of how much we spent and our server losing our food they should have compensated us somehow. A gift card, refund or offer to remake it. They did none of that.

This should be 4.5 stars.
The restaurant is an absolute beauty. Its an old bank so very open concept. It really feels like a roof top lounge indoors. Booths and tables were very nice.
Service was great, albeit very slow. I think there was a staff shortage because there was 1 waiter for the whole place until the bartender finally started waiting tables. The waiter was SO NICE and very helpful. He was amazing.
The drinks were very good. My wife had wine, I had their Tokyo Manhattan which was very refreshing and full of flavor.
The food was delicious, the crunchy korenan wings were top teir. However, my wife's Gnocchi was kinda tough and not melt in your mouth like we are used to Gnocchi being. That was the only complaint. I had the shrimp and pasta with lobster sauce and it was lovely. My 2 year old even liked it. 2 year old got the friend rice with chicken and really enjoyed it.
We got the chocolate cake which was also very good but more of a mousse pie than a cake. Still, love it.
Price point, 2.5 people, 3 entrees an app, 2 drinks and dessert $140
