Elephante Santa Monica Reviews from The Last Year
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.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

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.

Hi Community,
I am new to this site and just recently bought a reservation here. I noticed that on the reservation page, it is booked under a random name and a virtual email address.
I can't find any button to change either the name or the email for this reservation I bought. So, should I just say that random name when I arrived at the restaurant? Not really sure about the procedures.
