   I’ve been before and loved it! I found it lack lustre this time - we didn’t know they were prepping for a reno (timing?) and that were running out of all of our first choices. It’ll be awhile before I bring a group again.

   Great spot to host any occasion. Warm, inviting room paired with menu selections that will keep you taste buds coming back for more. The Tiger prawns are to die for.

   My first time but will certainly be back. The food was great, the venue was nice and our server was one of the most personable I’ve ever had. He made an already enjoyable experience that much better with pleasant conversation. Will be back to try out the patio which I understand will be an all season area after the upcoming renovations.

   Very nice cozy little restaurant. Service was great, Mary was great, she had very good suggestions with our food and drinks. Great place to socialize.

   Elbow Room had some good points, Moule and Frits were amazing. Steak was over priced and under done sadly. Wine was extremely over priced also. The service was amazing however. Overall I’d give it one more try as we’ve gone once before, but for the price of rice there I would expect everything to be exceptional.

   Great spot for lunch- love the idea of picking 3 dishes for 1 price. Very imaginative menu. Had the beet carpaccio, shrimp and fig/pear flatbread, all of which were delicious. Started with the squash/pesto soup which was also very good. We will definitely be returning.

   I enjoyed Elbow Room, the food was delicious and had a great visit with friends. The servers were very pleasant. It was very busy so a little on the noisy side but it is close to Christmas, I think this is also why the food may have taken a little longer to be served than normal. Overall enjoyable and would definitely go again!

    Had a great experience at elbow room. Nice bright rooms, great attentive staff. Food was delicious. Brussels sprouts starter as well as prawn starter were very good. Our table had the chicken dish, Arctic char and lobster pasta which were all big portions( which I like!) and very tasty! Great job elbow room.

    The tables were all dirty and had not been bussed when we walked in. Our server was rude in general. I was not allowed to order the lunch special because it was 1:40pm and she said they didn’t serve it until 2pm. No wonder they sold the business. Brutal service and the lobster eggs Benedict wasn’t very good. The salad was wilted and did not have any dressing on it. Worst service and expensive for terrible food. I wouldn’t go back even though I went there specifically for the lunch special.

    I have been twice and have had two different experiences. I recommend Elbow Room for dinner but not brunch. The recent visit was for brunch. Unfortunately their eggs and bacon dish was beyond greasy. Everything was saturated in grease. The service was also slow and just very underwhelming. When I went for dinner it was a much better experience for food and service so it's a yes for an evening but go elsewhere for brunch.

    I wasn’t feeling well but still went for dinner. The server was so understanding feeding me hot water and lemon and giving just the right amount of attention. The Brussels Sprouts are simply outstanding!

    Love this place, the food is amazing! The only reason my rating wasn’t 5/5 was because I never did get the coffee I ordered at brunch. Otherwise brunch was fabulous and I ended up grabbing a coffee on the go so it’s all good.

    I have been to the Elbow Room several times now and for the first time I was a bit disappointed in the food. The Caesar salad was overdressed and the dressing itself was too thick so the salad could not be tossed. And the beignets that we have loved in the past were doughty and gummy on the surface. Please restore them to their former glory!
