BRUNCH DISASTER – I went to Elmo for brunch on Sunday. It was terrible! The silverware was dirty, the food was really bad! My burger was aweful and my boyfriends eggs were dry and tasted like "vinegar" he said. The drinks are expensive and every other brunch spot at least gives you unlimited mamosa's. My Vodka and Mix "mary" tasted like a taco mix. GROSS! You wont find us having brunch at elmo, I would much rather yummy pancakes at Cafeteria!
Yummy – Good ambiance and excellent menu selection. Drinks are strong but a little overpriced. The crowd can be a bit loud and annoying so definitely don't go on a first date unless you don't wanna talk to your date :) The Steak Frites is excellent as is the Mac & Cheese (although not as good as Cafeteria)
OK GUYS JUNK FOOD! – I went to Elmo with my friends tonight for dinner. The service is ok if you dont mind prancing theater queens, but each of us hated our food! The turkey burger was DRY, the salmon was fishy, and the appitzers were not better than fries from the bodega! My boyfriend got the chocolate cake, from a box. mmm mmm good! Not to mention its too loud. Id rather have yummy mac and cheese from ate ave!
Delicious Food – This has become one of my favorite spots...great tasty food, desserts, and drinks! Very friendly waiters, nice atmosphere, and very nicely decorated. The mac and cheese is awesome! (just when I didnt think anything could beat the one in Cafeteria). And the key lime pie is to die for...I highly recommend this place. Always have a good time with my friends here.
WORST CHELSEA EATS – ELMO IS A DUMP... Over priced and terrible tasting food! The staff is friendly, the art is horriffic and the food is the worst. If you are looking for a gay joint, then pile in! Because the only thing you will be served is a homo-tude. Dont ge tme wrong I love a gay man, but when I want food, Elmo will be my last stop. McDonalds makes a better burger! And if I have to look at bad art, I can go to the childrens museum.
Sorry to see it go downhill – I have been patronizing Elmo for about 6 years. The food has always been tasty and it was a great place to have a casual business lunch. Unfortunately, it has changed...the last two times I went there for lunch I was appalled by the lack of service. On one occasion we were ignored by our waiter for 30 mins...on the second we were ignored by the host for 15. He was 'arranging' flatware on a table in the back and never came to seat us. The various servers all took note of us standing at the front ... read more
surprisingly disappointed - don't remember the last time I had such bad service. – I had been to Elmo for dinner about a dozen times. I always enjoyed my food and had good service. I took a friend for brunch in April. To my disappointment, we saw our waitress twice - once to take our order and once to bring us the check, which we hadn't requested. (and it wasn't busy at the time we were there.) The food was great and my girlfriend and I were looking forward to a drink or 2 after brunch. (We wanted to eat first, before drinki... read more
horrible food and bad service – I ordered seseme crusted tuna and seaweed for lunch and I ordered tuna rare. The tuna was totally overcooked and the entire dish was incrediably salty. the wait service was bad and kept giving me the wrong thing. they even packed wrong food for me to go.... I wouldn't go there again or recommend anyone to go there... the only good thing was the host was very friendly... but the rest everything is just aweful....
Top shelf drinks match the top 40 DJ! – My boyfriend actually introduced me to Elmo, and I have been hooked ever since. Even at it's most crowded, you get prompt bar service with a friendly and good-looking (not that that's *too* important) staff and a great atmosphere. It really is just a chill, cool place to start your evening. I have to admit, I have not had the food there with the exception of some delicious desserts, but if their food is anything like their drinks, then it must be good. The in-house DJ plays awesome top... read more
