The Service will keep me away – My friend and I went for lunch the other day during our lunch hour. The staff there are not attentive at all. In fact, when we asked for help, we were ignored! When our food was delivered (eons later) it was warm. Our waiter never came back to check on us and we had to ask to get our water refilled. We again had to ask for our check (eons later) and had to rush out of there to get back to work. We didn't feel welcome there and won't go back.

Comfort Food for Good Value in Chelsea – Elmo looks cool from the outside and the DJ beside the bar is an unexpected treat. Loud, but not obnoxious. Dress is very casual, your tank top and shorts will fit in fine here (my date and I were way overdressed). Menu is American comfort food, they make stuff here that you're too tired or pressed for time to make at home (Fried chicken, meatloaf, etc). And it's quite reasonably priced. Overall, a good place to go with friends but not a date.

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...
