Funky and fun – Great room although it is incredibly noisy and not from the crowds but from the street noise. Funky decor, laid back service, and good food. Go for the comfort food like pan roasted chicken and mashed potatoes.

Elmo is lameo! – Inedible old shrimp, 1/2 hour wait for dried-out overcooked meatloaf, disappearing waiter, manager more concerned about money than clientele - my worst dining experience in New York.

Yum – This restaurant is chic but not uninviting. The decor is of the "absolutely fabulous type" of which Edina and Patsy would surely approve. Breakfast is served into the late afternoon hours and is particularly delicious. My favorite dish to eat here is rather surprising: the club sandwich.. Elmo is home to the elusive perfect club sandwich.. complete with the best bacon I have ever tasted. My server told me that it was "apple-smoked bacon".. All I can say is, "yes, please!"

The Perfect Accident – The girls and I were wandering around aimlessly looking for our Saturday lunch spot, and we fell upon Elmo. It was the perfect accidental eatery to fall into. We had great bloody mary's, a great lunch, and a cute waiter! The decor is really retro and they were playing great music! I had the California turkey burger and fries and my friends had the omelette and the grilled tuna sandwich. All the meals were really good -- definitely check this one out.

Cool Joint – The food is good ol' comfort at average prices. Some of the choices are surprisingling good...like the Mac & Cheese-it's supurb, it's the best yet I've tasted here in town! The scallops are also a good choice. The look is cool, drinks good, noise level sometimes loud, decent bathrooms or "potty" rooms and fine service. Good date place.

Eatin good in the neighborhood – Thankfully, its not another Applebee's. Elmo is a much welcomed newcomer to the neghborhood. An eccletic menu with many varied choices. Try the Grilled Tuna Sandwich with Wasabi mayo. You won't be disappointed. Wonderful cocktail menu as well with drinks you won't find elsewhere. On top of that, the stylish decor kicks ass. All this and good service, too. What more could you ask for?

If you want to go deaf.... – then go to Elmo. While this place has the most excellent decor it is so noisy that from the second I walked in I thought I would suffer from hearing loss. Its not worth it to suffer for the mediocre food. Also, the train runs right underneath and you hear the rattle every few minutes.

Pretty Good but Not Great – Very trendy joint in Chelsea - typically not my scene b/c I NEVER go to a restaurant based on its "hipness." Food is first and foremost, which isn't bad at Elmo. A friend treated me there for dinner. The "bread basket" was a plate of sesame/garlic flat breads, vegetable sticks and hummus for dipping. Quite good, actually. Artichoke heart and mesclun salad with lemon dressing was also good, and so was fried calamari. My grilled raw tuna and arugula sandwich with wasabi mayo was well prepared and fl... read more

bleckner and booty, but little else – i stumbled into this new neighborhood local for dinner recently with greater expectations. i left most disappointed. why? quite simply the food was awful - from the catchy dishes on the menu i expected more. we received very poor quality food that many new york diners would have been ashamed to serve. however, although not my persuasion, for those inclined, the best thing about this restaurant/bar was the bleckner above the bar and the booty upfront! but then it's chelsea, so isn't that ... read more
