Lovely Ourdoor Brunch – I love elmo for brunch. They have seating outside in the sun where you can just relax and watch the world go by. The ceaser salad is amazing and the scrambled eggs are awesome. Don't forget to order a raspberry lemonade or your brunch will not be complete!

Cool place – My friends and I came here last night, and it was fun. We were seated promptly, but the waiter was a little slow to take our order. The food and drinks were good, and the prices were even better. Come here if you want to see good-looking waitstaff. Of course, looks aren't everything, but it doesn't hurt to have eye candy serving your food. The ambiance was very nice. Overall, a good experience.

The food at Elmo was OK. I had a 12 dollar cheeseburger with mediocre fries. It is convinient and did not have a wait, which is why we choose it over other resturants, I feel that I now know why there was no wait.

Fun! – I've eaten at Elmo several times, and each time it gets better and better. The food is good and the prices are great. The staff is mostly friendly and helpful and of course, like most people in chelsea, beautiful. Great for parties or a date.

Service needs help – We were a party of 4 on a slow Sunday afternoon for brunch. It was not crowded...no excuse for bad service. One meal did not come at all - he never put it in the computer. The pancakes were good, but don't have blueberry pancakes on the menu of you are not able to produce more than three tiny blueberries in each pancake. The french toast was delicious. Service too slow

Don't go when they're on their break – Passed by on the street and saw a nice burger, but it was crowded, decided to come at 4PM. At 4PM, just a few customers, got a table inside. The door was open, it was COOOLD! After a 5 minute wait, got them to shut the door. Another 5 minute wait, they took my order. 25 minute wait, the burger arrives, luke-warm, with luke-warm, salty fries. Asked for a slice of pickle, another 5 minute wait. Couple sitting next to me going through the same thing. Very cute staff, obviously professional... read more

Meet for Drinks (maybe), Not for Dinner. – Normally its a good place to meet for drinks. Not much in the way of food though. Good atmosphere, bad music, large martinis. It all depends on when you go. Some nights it feels right at home - a combination of Chelsea boys and good looking straight couples. Last time we stopped by for a drink the bar was full of chubby drunk girls with low cut jeans and thongs. You just never know...

Good, solid pick – Good food, medium trendy, very "chelsea". Much better than Cafeteria. I had the Elmo salad and a monk fish special, both of which were quite good. My husband had the macaroni and cheese appetizer which was delicious! Dessert is a bit of a weak link, I'd definitely go back. It's a good value.

Not too bad. – Went there for brunch last week, and I had a very nice meal, and two great bloody Marys. After reading the reviews here I was wondering if they were talking about the same restaurant. Then again, maybe the people at Elmo read the reviews and decided to clean up their act. Or maybe the brunch staff is better than the dinner staff.
