Fifty shades of lame
We hadn't been to Elmo in a few years and thought it might be fun to try it again. I know the place was never amazing, but, man, did it go downhill. The server was too bored to come by our table and find out he brought me the wrong drink. Most of the staff seem to spend their time chatting with each other or customers who I took to be regulars. The food was uniformly overcooked and tasteless. That, plus the Chelsea attitude of the staff (I guess they don't know having a Chelsea attitude is very 90's), made going to Elmo a complete waste of money.

Lunch/Brunch
Stopped in a couple weekends ago for lunch. It was painless to get a table. The staff were extremely nice and the food was very good quality. Would definitely go back.

Fun dinner place to hang with friends
Great place to have dinner and drinks with friends. If you decide to go here, make sure you order the truffle French fries. Amazing! Truffles and fresh Parmesan that melts in your mouth. The only negative comment is the place is really loud music and conversations from other people.

Loud, Louder, Loudest!
I remember a time when you could go to Elmo and actually hear the people you were seated with. Elmo offers up good comfort food, And it's always been fun. But why the loud music? Not everyone wants to scream through dinner.

Dont ever order for delivery
Called for delivery and the girl could barely hear me due to the blaring music in the background. Then, she tells me she has to call me back because the owner is on the other line and needs to speak with her..excuse me, but shouldn't he of all people understand that the customer comes first?? She calls me back and I give my address which is 1 avenue over just below 14th street and she tells me she doesn't know where that is..get a map. If you want their food, just go there because it will never show up if you order for delivery.

burnt pancakes
I've had some good dinner foods here in the past. However, went here for brunch today and ordered the buttermilk pancakes. They were so overcooked and blackened that they were inedible.

Not recommended
I have never had drier chicken. How do you mess up chicken? Also it's very expensive and the music is BLARING! The tomato soup tasted burnt.
