Beautiful place to relax. One of the best cafes I’ve experienced with great view and scenery. Waitstaff was friendly and outgoing. Food was excellent. Calamari , broccoli was fantastic. Pasta was good too. Good to have friends over for a chill. I would go back again when I have the time

Great ambience and setting to enjoy a meal. Perfect date spot. I wasn’t a huge fan of the breakfast sandwich or the spinach. The sandwich was extra heavy on the cheese and the lemon on the spinach was overwhelming for me. But my girlfriend really liked both. Everything was prepared quickly, the entire staff was professional, helpful, and attentive. I’d like to come back and give another dish a try.

We went to Elephante for my mom’s birthday brunch and we were very impressed with the decor and ambience of this place. You have the choice of sitting in 2 dining areas (Garden or Sunset) and we chose to sit in the Sunset area which provided ocean views. We ordered the whipped eggplant appetizer with bread which was really tasty along with some pizza and pastas. The drinks here are great as well. My only complaint is that the bathroom system could be a bit nicer, but the rest of the restaurant makes up for this. If you want a fun and vibrant restaurant, then I highly recommend going here for a great brunch experience!
