Like always top notch. We with my cousin and her best friend from visiting from Canada and I asked for a table by the balcony and they were able to accommodate us perfectly. We had a great time and enjoyed the fantastic view. You can’t go wrong with Élephante. Outstanding!

It was my mother’s birthday. Normally, we’d like to sit outside to enjoy the view, but since it was too cold we remained indoors. Despite that, we received great seats and saw a nice sunset. We were also impressed with the Autumn menu with dishes we haven’t seen before. Overall, it was a treat. We’ll return soon.
