    Elephante was the ideal setting today for a table outside in the sun facing the Pacific Ocean. Staff were welcoming, professional , and knowledgeable about the menu choices. So many tempting menu items. The Shrimp Appetizer was perfectly grilled with a lively, spicy sauce. DELISH! Enjoyed the pizza with Pork, Proscuito, and Honey. Thin crust with lots of flavors. The Bloody Mary came with attractive garnishes and the Arnold Palmers were expertly mixed. Tiramisu was very fresh and tasty. All in all a PERFECTO lunch. Can't wait to return.

    Went there with my wife, 10-year-old, and six-year-old at the end of happy hour. Got a bunch of tacos, avocado tempura, and a steak appetizer I forget the name. Tacos were all great, especially the carnitas and fish. Shrimp was good but not as satisfying as the rest. I wouldnt recommend the steak app.

    Everything we ordered was excellent. Had the crab cakes, calamari, hamburger, and the pear Marguerita. Crab cakes (3) were small but super delicious; calamari was perfection, especially when dipped in the aioli that came with it. And, the burger was absolutely the best, with a huge delicious and juicy hunk of a meat “pattie”. The food came fast and was hot and fresh. Oh, and the bread, served warm and gratis, was delightfully awesome. Overall an excellent experience.
