Like always top notch. We with my cousin and her best friend from visiting from Canada and I asked for a table by the balcony and they were able to accommodate us perfectly. We had a great time and enjoyed the fantastic view. You can’t go wrong with Élephante. Outstanding!

Such a classy place with exceptional food and ambience. I love it here and never disappointed. They even took the time to write a Happy Birthday 🎂 card for me with beautiful penmanship so when I was seated it’s the first thing I noticed. Thank you Baltaire 🥰
