    Had an amazing meal celebrating my son’s birthday! Vegans and non vegans thoroughly enjoyed every bite! The ambiance at this restaurant is so relaxing and beautiful!! Service was amazing as usual and Jordan (Asst GM) made sure to check on us to ensure everything was top notch! Appreciate that so much!!

    First time dining at Spirit Elephant. Very, very slow service from our waitress, who then got our order wrong. We were billed for the items that were wrong in addition to the correct food-so significantly over charged and one person our party had to wait while the rest of us ate as they redid her order correctly. Then asked for the waitress to correct the bill, and no one could find her. manager came and took care of it for us.(but didn't comp us for anything) That being said it was a beautiful restaurant and the food was delicious, so I would give it one more chance, and hope it was just our waitress that was the problem.

    Another delicious visit to Spirit Elephant. Cauliflower wings, calamari, chicken Caesar and ribeye steak (all plant based!) were so delicious. Kind and professional service! Fun lively atmosphere. Always enjoyable.

    Great place to eat Vegan food! Beautiful dishes and taste so good! A bit expensive for their pumpkin cheese cake though! I would go back for lunch!

    Food was excellent. Service was great. Dining room is very loud, but the place was packed and it was a Saturday night. The only knock is that their bar has a very weak pour on spirits. Been here many times! I’d highly recommend going on a week night!
