Elephante Santa Monica Reviews from The Last Year
Best in Santa Monica easily!
Definitely on my list for one of the best restaurants, in the greater Los Angeles area. As I told all the staff I encountered, A+++ service from the hostesses, our wonderful waiter, staff who assisted him and of course the chefs/sou chefs in the kitchen... Food/drink wait times were non-existent which was incredible. Food was brought to the table hot/fresh, literally within minutes of ordering. A very impressive feat for a busy restaurant near such an iconic attraction, which is the Santa Monica Pier. Make reservations in order to get a table over looking the water. Can't wait to come back and try their brunch.
Perfect food with excellent California vibe
This is a great California experience. We went for lunch once, and, it was so good we returned a second time! Try the eggplant hummus, the arancini balls, and the pasta with black squid ink! Amazing and creative dishes! Our servers both times were super, and their wine suggestions were spot on. Awesome view from the second floor terrace. All around great experience!!
Delicious, Moorish Italian food!!
Fantastic location and AMAZING food. Everything we ordered eggplant, pizza, calamari and burrata were 10/10. The staff were friendly and efficient. It’s is clearly a well run establishment and the locals are blessed to have this near them
Over hyped under serviced
Over rated TikTok hype. Crazy loud, mediocre food, hustled us through in a big hurry! ~ drinks appetizers and dinner in 40 minutes to get the next table in?! On a Thursday evening. Got our appetizers before drinks got our main while appies were still on our table Totally disappointed for a $300 usd drink and a pasta dish Go elsewhere. Trust me
Definitely not worth the $100 plus, for two.
I was hoping we would have a wonderful dinner. We didn’t. I can’t understand the popularity of this restaurant. It’s supposed to be an Italian restaurant. Without discussing the disappointing entree, how many Italian restaurants have you been to, that do not serve bread with their meals! In my experience, zero. At the very least, how about some breadsticks. If it’s any consolation, my wife enjoyed her meal but would have killed for some ice in her water glass. Aaaaaargh. Oh wait. The server was great.
Excellent
Came here for a late lunch. The place was heaving and based on the food we had, I can understand why. I had pasta with chicken and my daughter had pizza. Both meals were spectacular. I would highly recommend this restaurant but you'll need to book.
Must visit in SM
A really nice location and one of the go to restaurants in Santa Monica. We actually went twice. First time in the evening where booking is pretty much a necessity. I would suggest the ocean view part of the restaurant rather than the garden room even though there is no view in the evening. It’s a better buzz and is more airy. Food is I guess Italian/American. Nice options. Nothing super fancy but very good. Went next day for breakfast. It’s a really nice place in the day. Nice beach views. Staff very friendly on both occasions.
Best of Santa Monica
Best spot in Santa Monica! Great costumer service, great food. Everyone was really nice specially Ivana. We really enjoyed the ambiance
trendy and fun
When you have a trendy popular place, I guess a little employee attitude goes along with it, but they were friendly. Waitstaff was friendly, efficient and did a good job. Eggplant dip and pizza were items to order. Place has fun vibe, good views and lots of alcohol. A fun popular place for happy hour. Make a reservation.
Surprised
Gorgeous lighting but paid almost $200 for pasta and three scallops, yikes. Making reservations, here was actually the biggest mistake of my whole trip to California. The noise of others talking was so loud that I couldn’t hear anything anyone at my table said for the whole meal. I made reservations a month before, and asked for an ocean view, and a seat by the window, but was seated by the bathrooms, nowhere near a window. My son ordered scallops and the dinner portion came with three scallops. I’ve never received food so quickly in my life, not even at a fast food restaurant. The food arrived about maybe 2 minutes after we put our order in so I sent my cocktail back. I suspected maybe they were rushing to free up a table but it took a very long time for the bill to come after we ate so I don’t think that was it. When I complained to the manager about my seat, he was clearly annoyed so we left.
First Timer...LOVED it!
Went here for the first time and I was impressed. We sat in the cactus room and it was lovely. What looked even more lovely was the room with the ocean view, but I made reservations late, so I understand not being seated there. The service is truly the one thing that was lacking. Our server was friendly, if not warm, but I didn't feel taken care of. I don't need/want to be babied, but nobody asked how the food was. Not once. I rate the service here "fair". I had a Northside Mule. It was tasty (I did not get any watermelon notes), but not outstanding. My partner had the honey ginger lemon spritz and that was PHENOMENAL. We split an order of the banana bread. Generous portion for $8. Warm, moist, lighter than banana bread usually is...DELICIOUS! We also split an order of the avocado toast. Very tasty, a bit overpriced (but not bad) at $14. My partner had the ricotta hotcakes. He said they were good...the nutella and honeycomb butter on the side really made them. I opted for the chia and granola bowl. At $13, it wasn't PRICEY, but there was very little food in my bowl. It was VERY tasty, but afterwards I was not full, so... I had the tiramisu! FANTASTIC, large portion, worth every penny of the $12 spent. It filled me up just fine! Would I go back here? Absolutely! The pizzas and pastas I saw going by looked extremely tasty & I would try some of those. I usually don't put a lot of prices in my reviews, but I felt a need this time. I'm all about VALUE...I'll gladly pay for an expensive meal, but it better be good and worth it. Elephante was totally worth it. The ambience and food were very good, the drinks good and the service, while not exemplary, was okay. It's a nice place to have a leisurely meal and I look forward to returning some day.
Lovely
We had a wonderful brunch. The view and atmosphere is lovely and we shared three dishes to sample a variety of items. All were excellent!
Great Bar, Fun Atmosphere, Great Food!
The hostess was kind enough to allow the four of us to sit at a couch for 2 hours during which we shared great appetizers and drinks. The atmosphere is lively and fun and the cocktails are incredible. We loved the meatballs and the burrata with honey was amazing. Also recommend the most incredible shrimp. We are going to return for dinner as soon as we can!
Hard pass.
The food is pretty good but the service was essentially atrocious. Our food had a massive mixup. Calamari in a potato dish. We do not eat shellfish or seafood and were really upset to bite into a calamari. Both myself and my daughters got it. Had we been allergic, it would have been awful. The first waiter who came by told us "it happens all the time" bc they use the same fryer for calamari and potatoes. Super irresponsible considering shellfish allergies. The waiter was incredibly rude about it to boot and acted like we were overreacting, despite the fact that we are in fact super strict non shellfish eaters. After that, they treated us like pariahs. We ordered a second round of drinks that never came. Manager was told to be on the way to discuss the calamari issue and never came. We were comped the potatoes and not offered anything else. And finally - the waiter came to the table as we were leaving and said "by the way, the chef does not think you got calamari and you were mistaken." No words. I can tell the difference between a potato and calamari - especially since the first waiter told us "it happens all the time." It was gummy and tasted like the bottom of the ocean. It was really just so rude. The food is good but not THAT good as to warrant that behavior.
Comparably authentic pasta!
Had a last minute reservation here on 12/09/2023 with a friend who lives in SM. With the reservation there was no wait so I was already happy since I was starving. It was crowded, even at 1530 on a Saturday late afternoon/early evening. They had a nice holiday drink menu, but I was driving back to the SFV so went with the raspberry mint mocktail. It was OK, but my mint garnish was wilted. We shared a Brussel sprout salad which the portion size seemed small, but it was delicious. The meatballs were superb and the marinara sauce was divine. I got the Cacio e pepe pasta and my friend ordered the pasta with the vodka sauce and both dishes were amazing. I've been to Italy several times and these dishes were comparable to the authentic pasta I'm used to having there. We also ordered the potatos as our vegetable. I'm not a fan or ranch so no need for that on the side, but the potatoes were nice and crispy on the outside, yet tender on the inside and the coarse sea salt garnish was the icing on the top. I would definitely return her, and Would highly recommend; just make sure you have a reservation because there was an line forming at the entrance as we were leaving.
A good brunch with great views
For a place that could get by on it's stunning Pacific views Élephante from Wish You Were Here Group is serving up an impressive brunch at bargain prices relative to the setting. A renovated old Beach House, restaurateur Nicholas Mathers sourcing coastal Italian influences across the interior as well as the menu, Élephante could get by on it's stunning Pacific views but instead opts to serve an impressive brunch at bargain prices relative to the setting. Part of Wish You Were Here Group, guests ascending to an open rooftop once reservations are confirmed, it is amidst music and Mimosas that the kitchen turns out everything from Pizza to Pancakes at a speed that never feels rushed. Wood-clad with decorative flourishes, Bartenders quick to send out a Mezcal Margarita, it was not long before toasted Banana Bread with restrained sweetness sat adjacent creamy Cornmeal topped in Corn, picked Crab and a poached Organic Egg for just $16. Cooled by Ocean breeze and fans, most diners dressed casually save for a few 20-somethings in couture, dinner’s Spicy Vodka Sauce finds itself on the Brunch menu atop al dente Canestri while Pizza from the wood oven has just enough char to peak out from behind honey and heat. Passing on the signature Eggplant Spread, perhaps a mistake, airy Ricotta Flapjacks arrive three-high with Hazelnut Cream, Honeycomb Butter and the sort of Maple Syrup every Restaurant should be serving plus some sliced Bananas.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
