   Nice location, ask for the Sunset room and if possible near a window overlooking the beach, if at night don't bother, too dark in the winter. Excellent ambiance, started with eggplant dip and yummy poof pita/pizza dough bread, gem salad (dressing excellent). A vodka sauce on the pasta was excellent and the burrata pizza was very mild not too intense in flavor, but light and tasty. The evening ended with an affogato which was made perfectly, with a caramel at the bottom of the ice-cream, and the expresso! Good coffee, great meal, will return to try other items.

   The cacio e pepe has had me coming back for the last two years. I love Élephante so much. I had the custom espresso martini last night for the first time and that was delicious and so so cute 🥰 This is my favorite restaurant in Santa Monica.

   Élephante is a staple in Santa Monica! They are consistently good, always delivering delicious food, good drinks and a good vibe.

   La comida muy buena, calidad y sabor excelente. El servicio muy lento y para las bebidas había que pedirlas hasta 3 veces para que llegaran. Los meseros muy poco amables.

   The over all experience was good but a few things to keep in mind, the food is overpriced. I’ve spent less money on really high end restaurants compared to Elephante. The service was ok, it got a little annoying when the server kept coming to our table to remove our plates every time they thought we were finished. It made me feel a little rushed. Oh and the Pavlova could have been better the sauce they put on top was way too sour. I don’t recommend it. As far as ambience, it was nice and the food was delicious.

    Pesto pasta and the pizza was very average. But we loved the small dishes like the creamy eggplant dish.
