We went to Elephante for my mom’s birthday brunch and we were very impressed with the decor and ambience of this place. You have the choice of sitting in 2 dining areas (Garden or Sunset) and we chose to sit in the Sunset area which provided ocean views. We ordered the whipped eggplant appetizer with bread which was really tasty along with some pizza and pastas. The drinks here are great as well. My only complaint is that the bathroom system could be a bit nicer, but the rest of the restaurant makes up for this. If you want a fun and vibrant restaurant, then I highly recommend going here for a great brunch experience!

We came for lunch and participated in the $35 special—it was great! We got to try the pasta and the pizza, as well as the tasty apps and dessert. We also dined with a young child and her meal (the pasta) was also yummy. There weren’t any drink specials but everything else (I mean, have you seen the view?) was great!

This place was incredible. The staff was extremely friendly, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was stunning. It was a little busy, so our server Anthony took a minute to check on us, which was understandable given the circumstances. It was a plus that their kitchen was open until 12 a.m. I definitely recommend checking them out!

Thursday at noonish we were seated immediately but weren't that happy with our table. An employee noticed my unhappiness and immediately went and secured us a better table right at the window. The tables on the balcony would be great at sunset but the sun was too bright at noon. The whipped eggplant and puffy bread is fantastic and the bread was great with our salad, diver scallops and branzino. The service was friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and the decor and ambiance were unique and fun. Not cheap but worth the splurge and I look forward to returning!

It is similar, but no. It's served with a bread that's like Nan.

Hi Nicki, Although we loved dogs unfortunately we are only allowed service animals with their proper tags.

Do you allow children?

If people come with no kids they come with no kids. If they have kids always welcome. I had 6 kids with me ranging from 14 down to 5 years old

Can I make a reservation for 7 people

Yes, just call them

Are they pet friendly? Meaning do they take service dogs? I just got a puppy, she’s 2 months old I want to know if I can get in there with her

Tsuria Diaz | Sep 8, 2019
Dave Schmidt | Sep 8, 2019

Restaurants have to allow trained service dogs but a two month old puppy is not a service dog and it would be illegal for the restaurant to allow the puppy into an inside seating area. They didn't really seem to have any outside seating so my hunch is that your puppy would not be allowed but you could call and ask keeping in mind your puppy is not a service dog.

Brunch is only avail on the weekends despite opening early on weekdays. My friends said brunch was amazing. I went on a weekday and didn't get a chance to try it but the food was still very good.
