   Food is constantly delicious here. Unfortunately they just take a little too long to get you seated and then a little bit for a waiter to come to you but overall a decent experience!

   Awful service. We were forgotten about multiple times. Had to wait 30 minutes to get our check. Heat lamps were turned around all around us and it was like an oven by the end

   I really wanted to like this place. I was excited to bring my friend visiting from London here for the view and food. Unfortunately this place was extremely loud and the tables were very close together. I had to shout to hear my friend and felt like my ears were ringing by the end of the dinner. I wish I ended up going elsewhere to catch up with my friend.

   Ambiance was great, food was mid, service was disappointing. My table and the table next to me waited about 30 minutes just to get water. Food was ok. Nothing special. Over crowded and no reason to return.

   Although this is a great restaurant location with the rooftop and view, they treat clients like cattle. 90 minute time limit even for large parties, cancelled my reservation last minute for no reason, sat a party of us of 8 in low tables and couches where we were crammed and crazy uncomfortable having brunch for a friend’s birthday. It’s again, one of those trendy Sunday spots with limited overview of class and customer service. Good food, but crowded and overpriced.

   Absolutely loved our experience at élephante! We were dining here for our anniversary and they gave us an amazing seat a perfect view of the sunset and the beach, We ordered the whipped eggplant and bread, whipped eggplant was nice, creamy, smooth and the bread was crispy but soft and doughy on the inside. We also got the shrimp; the shrimp was nice, paired well with the lemon cream sauce it came with. For our main course we got the vodka pasta with lobster 10/10, soppressata pizza 9.5/10 a little salty but the crust was crispy but soft in the middle so good, the meats were crisped perfectly, nice and cheesy, but I wish there was more hot honey, and the broccolini 7/10. I didn’t care for this much but my hubby loved it.  for drinks I had two guava lemonades, delicious;  perfect balance of sour and sweet.  And my hubby had got the beekeeper; it was a small drink, but it is strong and super delicious so I would 100% recommend this.  I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone and I would be back !

   Overall, a great celebratory dinner. Thank you for accommodating our request to be seated in the Sunset Room! Our waiter forgot our appetizers, but corrected it upon notifying him. Will definitely return.

    Every time I come to LA, I make it a point to go to Elephante! It’s hits every time!
