average fare

Elephant Bar is a pretty tasty, yet very standard restaurant. While the food is good, it is nothing exceptional and they don’t offer food that other restaurants don’t have. The prices are what you would expect out of an average American restaurant. The decor has animals and tries to capture a unique, exotic setting, which mixes it up a little. Overall, while the food is good, I feel there are better American restaurants to go to.

Dishes I tried:

Braised Lamb Shanks

The meat was tender and fell off the bone. Kind of fatty, though that is to be expected.

Nice decor, but needs more flavor

After seeing and hearing about Elephant Bar for quite a while, I was happy to finally try it. Here’s my summary:

First Impressions:

  • Great and fun decor – animals everywhere!
  • Pretty diverse menu – an eclectic array of asian and american dishes
  • Decent prices

Impressions Afterwards:

  • Food could use more flavor
  • Everything comes with white rice!
  • Dishes aren’t that big
  • Dish presentation was a little plain

Bottomline: The decor has more flavor than the food.

Dishes I tried:

Blackened Catfish with Shrimp Jambalaya

It was ok, but the blackened catfish didn’t have that “blackened” taste and the jambalaya wasn’t spicy at all.

Very sweet and colorful but it seemed like there wasn’t any alcohol.

Pina Colada

A solid tasty frozen drink. Can’t go wrong.

Seafood Firepot

A pot full of assorted seafood in a spicy sauce. One of the only dishes that had flavor and spice and the seafood was pretty good too.
