Elephante Santa Monica Reviews
A great place but pricey
Cool location and a nice atmosphere, if a little loud. We weren’t fortunate enough to get seats with views of the sunset but it’s worth trying for them. Great service. Superb cocktails and the food was outstandingly good. It was expensive.
Fun restaurant with great ocean views
Great view, great vibe and good food. This is a fun place to go with friends; yes it can be a bit noisy but actually it’s just the sound of lots of people having fun. We were seated at a table with an ocean view - from the upstairs it really is a
Horrible disgusting place that don't WONT ANYONE OVER 30, DIRTY WATER AND TABLES ,( OVER PRICED BAD FOOD /Bad Staff
The entire experience was terrible, the Nasty Hostess w, then once upstairs we were rudely told we could not have any of the many views tables and was placed way in the back at a tiny table. I got alarmed when the very warm craft of water had many th
Disappointing Experience Due to Unprofessional Management
We had a rodiculous experience on our visit to Elephante in Santa Monica. We had dinner there recently, paid our bill , and left - thinking everything was settled. A short while later, we received an aggressive and completely unprofessional message f
ANNIVERSARY DINNER
This evening's dinner was a continuation of our 21st Anniversary trip and did not disappoint. We came in from TX for a few days and Nick and Josh were our wait persons and took very good care of. The menu has a good variety of foods and great su
Wouldn’t recommend
Bad service rude standoffish staff members, food came out after an hour and made me very sick after consumption, wouldn’t attend again unless i have to
I don't recommend
From the hostess at the entrance of the building was rude and unprofessional reservation that we made was not respected and they made us rush for the next turn over, food was salty ( pasta alle vongole).
Excellent location in Santa Monica. Great Food, and Service
Excellent service. Very busy and very loud. Just so you know, reservations are required. Could you ask for a table outside for the best dining experience. Appetizers were excellent, with a great variety. Seafood was fresh, and the pasta dishes were e
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 ki
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 s
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 sti
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 bee
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 e
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 a
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
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
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 ho
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 w
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 ni
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
We loved Elephante
Absolutely delicious food and cocktails with beautiful ocean views and a hip island resort feel. We went mid-day on a Saturday and it was packed with a youngish, cool kid LA brunchers crowd. The vibe is lively, but thankfully not too loud or too mu
Date Night!
Last night my lady and I dined at Elephante - great cocktails, vibes/ambiance, would highly recommend ordering the whipped eggplant, vodka sauce pasta and soppressata pizza. Seems like the ideal place to visit if you're traveling to LA, have a spe
Amazing View
The sunset room at elephante has such an amazing view of the ocean!
I like this place
I really enjoyed my visit here. I came here in the afternoon for drinks. The entire vibe of this place is completely my style. When I sat down I saw a big puffy bread that looked interesting and I had to try it out. I had a Violet Curtain and i
Élephante is AMAZING!
Positioned beautifully beachside and overlooking the Santa Monica Beach, Élephante is geographically positioned for success. The entry is street side, a little mysterious and could be more impressive. Valet is available. HOWEVER, once you arrive
Great experience
The food, view, ambience, service, all were outstanding. The pizzas we had were great, but what stole the show for be was the unique chilli oil that they gave us as a condiment to the pizza. Wow!
Disappointed before we even walked in
As we stepped up to the podium to check in, the gigantic bouncer moved quickly to block the entrance like he thought this tiny grandmother was going to rush him. Service was perfunctory. Flavors lacked balance in terms of salt and acidity. Express l
Brussel Salad & Rigatoni
Get the whipped eggplant, brussel sprout salad, and spicy rigatoni pasta, you won't regret it!
Worst service, not worth it
Obnoxious people working there, horrible service. Not worth it at all. The view is fantastic but the service is horrible, people working there are very obnoxious and couldn’t care less. I put one star for the view and location but don’t recommen
Lovely evening out!
We had a fab evening here, got there just after sunset but could tell it was the perfect place for sunset dinner and drinks. Decor was lovely, good vibe and friendly waiter at the table. Food was lovely the eggplant dip with pizza was amazing, so w
Connect with users posting reservations for Elephante Santa Monica
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Elephante Santa Monica. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Elephante Santa Monica at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Elephante Santa Monica page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Elephante Santa Monica to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $5 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Elephante Santa Monica!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
