    Wait staff was welcoming and accommodating to our seating request. Waiter was friendly and helpful. Food was surprisingly very good for a pub! I’d eat there again. Went for the ambience, but will go back for the food!

    Awesome atmosphere with friendly staff! They work as a team so we had several different staff members take drink orders,bring water, take meal orders, deliver food, and close out check all by different people. The food was delicious but sat in the window for a bit and was lukewarm. They didn’t acknowledge the note in the reservation that it was our 1 year wedding anniversary or ask if we wanted dessert. We would return for a casual bite again, but wouldn’t make this a place for celebrating special occasions.

    Was unimpressed from the moment we walked in and were told by the host to “take any table over there”. The server was good, until it came time to pay and he didn’t know how to apply the gift card, and then apply balance to Visa card also presented. After I paid, I noticed the server applied a tip to the entire amount instead of just giving me the option to apply it after he scanned the Visa. Food was greasy, but drinks were good. Will not return…

    This place is an amazing. We were looking for a place to eat out that was close to where we were staying and I happened to find this on the map. On the outside you may think nothing of it but once you step foot inside, you're teleported to England. It's such a chill vibe, quiet, somewhere, if I lived in Chicago would probably go to everyday after work. The menu is great - the food is phenomenal. My party and I tried the chicken club, the shepard's pie, the pretzel bites appetizer, and the cajun chicken wrap and was impressed by everything. I highly recommend! The service the first night we went was OK but the next day for lunch was great. The atmosphere is what will really hook you and they have drink specials throughout the week!

    I'd been wanting to try Elephant & Castle for quite some time. I'm glad I did because I found the name is the best part of the establishment and I can enjoy that without every going back. Average food, well-intentioned but lacking service, a host who was leaning over the host stand texting, and overly loud music to a 2/3 empty restaurant combined to make this a disappointing experience.

    Over overall, the food was good, the service, and ambience all worked for me. I just have a little nitpick complaint, and that is, the dish that I had which was called buttered chicken, was not literally butter chicken. It tasted more like curry chicken. With enough chicken in it, and a lot of sauce. Overall, it was good.
