The Elm - La Grange

Server came over and gave us a thumbs up? Weird. We reserved a couch but wasn’t available. Didn’t want to wait for boat dads to get up so we sat at a table. Food and drinks were okay but so overpriced it was hard to enjoy. seriously I can go downtown and pay less. It’s Lagrange. Rooftop was nice but not $20 for small plate nice. Not going back.

The price of the food is not worth the quality. Food isn’t bad but nothing spectacular, somewhat over salted and trying too hard to mimic fine dining and missing the mark. The rooftop atmosphere is very pleasant but also seems like a happy-hour hangout so it got very loud at times with groups of people seemingly meeting for drinks. Might come back for drinks in the future but can’t imagine coming back for the dining/food.

Best burgers ever! Scallops are always perfectly cooked. Nothing on the menu I don’t like. Favorite drink is the Griffin with blueberry infused gin. Great wine selection. Love the outdoor rooftop but the whole atmosphere is beautiful. My favorite servers are Nick and Katie but the whole staff is wonderful! Loyal customer for 3 years.

Place is very very nice but food is not great. Everything we had just had no taste. It is sad to see really great place have this issue. And from other reviews it seems like I wasnt the only one who noticed this. I hope you guys will improve on your food.Waiter was very nice and rest of the staff too.

Nice location, nice atmosphere. The place gets really busy and crowded with live music, so be prepared to a high level of noise. Staff was friendly, food was ok, but nothing special. Would I return? Probably not, because food was not really great and the place is too loud for me.
