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.
Was I at a different restaurant? – A friend of mine recently chose this restaurant for her birthday dinner, and after reading the reviews here, I was dreading going. But when I got there, the food was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and the service was good. I would definitely recommend it, and I'll go back
MORE LIKE OSCAR THE GROUCH – All I have to say is that looks can be very decieving!!! The place looked great but it was the worst dining experience that I have ever had. The drinks had NO alcohol, the service was slow, and worst of all, I got a MINI-ME sized portion of filet mignon (seemed like it was no bigger that a quarter) that came with burnt potato chips!! They need to put more into their food and service rather than the decor. Never again...
TICKLE ME ELMO – Let me first say, I went into this establishment with an open mind. However, I was highly disappointed. The drinks were below avg and overpriced. The menu had about 5 items and overpriced. The service was not attentive. The only positive aspect of this place was the ambience.very trendy. Albeit, I thought I was in a village people's video shoot. Overall I would never go back.
It was ok. – I had the salmon which was pretty good - the corn salsa that came with it was nice and spicy. The drinks were definitely very colorful - I had a raspberry lemonade which was very delicious. The worst part of the meal was the dessert - I tried the chocolate mousse and it definitely was not edible - it was super sweet and the chocolate didn't taste good and I'm a BIG FAN of chocolate, so it was kind of disappointing. Our waitress was super nice. She was very attentive.
Tasty But Careless – The Miami modernist look of this place is cool and comfortable. Do do something about the acoustics, I couldn't hear the person across from me. The service was attentive. I did have to return my martini twice, because it kept on arriving dirty and I like mine clean. My bass on risotto was very well prepared, and so were my friends' tuna and mussels (fat and flavorful, better than the mussels I recently had at Markt and Florent.) The fish portions were too small and overpriced, but still delicious.
Depends on why you go out to eat – Is it the scene or the chow? Elmo is definitely for the scene and the food LOOKS good, but tastes average. Buy some new clothes and enjoy putting your narcissist self on display. Cool is an invisible currency meant to put others back into the corn fields from which they came and Elmo is the bank of Cool du jour. So if you like hollow conversation, empty sex, and window shopping, Elmo is the Hall Of Mirrors you've been looking for in a restaurant.
Elmo - so hip! – Was walking in the nabe one Saturday & stumbled upon Elmo. Looked cool from outside so we thought we'd check it out. Glad we did! The food was good but it was the decor that really did it for me. Love the mosaics. The tables are really close, but that just meant we got to chat with the people beside us & they told us what to do while we were in the city.
