Went for brunch near Christmas. Restaurant was decorated nicely. Steak and eggs and omelets were outstanding along with the service. Never felt rushed even though it was very busy. Highly recommend.

There is no place quite like End of Elm. The variety of small plates and beautifully crafted cocktails, all served expertly by helpful and attentive staff in a room with rotating art pieces on the walls, combine to make this an unforgettable and highly satisfying experience. It is decidedly pricey but well worth it.
