Elephant Bar Restaurant

The worst experience of my life. Food was absolutely terrible. Husband ordered a burger was raw inside. My breakfast was gross and just horrible. Appetizer was under cooked. Never ever again

This place far exceeded our expectations! At first we were weary because of some of the reviews, but everything was perfect from start to finish and our server Joe was running circles around the restaurant. He had our drinks filled constantly and gave great service. I got the sirloin steak (so tender+juicy) and my boyfriend got the ribeye steak. We loved everything, and we’re kind of shocked– I can honestly say it’s one of the best steaks I’ve had at a spot like this one. Potato skins were good too!

Our server Joe was wonderful! We had a great experience and wonderful food. We suggest the French Onion Ribeye sliders — we were able to get them for free by signing up for a free rewards program. Overall, great experience!

I had never been to the elephant bar before my fiancé took my there this past weekend! Happy hour was through the nature restaurant which was a great surprise because a lot of restaurants only serve that in the bar area! We had great service, the food was amazing, and my lemon drop raspberry martini was bomb! This place is great and we will definitely be back! 5 Stars all around!

Me and my family have been here more than once. We enjoy the food and ambiance of the restaurant.
Unfortunately last night had given us some issues. My brother had diarrhea all night and began to puke through out the night as well. I woke up with nasty feeling and threw up as well. My mother had also woken up by throwing up. The service was amazing but I guess the food might have had something it.

Meh.
We came here with some awesome friends of ours this afternoon after taking in Captain America: Civil War (great flick, btw). It’s actually pretty easy to find in the Village Walk at The District at Green Valley Ranch. Just park near all the real estate offices and start walking towards the Green Valley Ranch Casino and just before you approach the casino it will be on your right.
(+) Décor was very unique and very cool! Lots of little details to the place, which is much bigger inside than it appeared from the outside.
(+) Restaurant was very clean and organized.
(+) Sangria was very tasty and enjoyable!
(+) Chicken Tortilla soup was very tasty, with a little kick to it! Salad was okay and portion size was pleasing.
(-) Service was hit and miss. The young lady who served us was very busy and missed bringing several items to our table, including a side of garlic mashed potatoes. Then it took for-​ev-​er to get our desert and then our bill later. She was very nice though. Like I said, maybe she felt a bit overwhelmed.
(-) teriyaki chicken rice was so-​so at best. Tasted way too salty. Makes me wonder if they use MSG.
I do also like the fact that they post the calorie count of all of their menu items. Makes it much easier to track, if you’re into that sort of thing.
I don’t know. I just wasn’t too impressed with this place to justify a return visit. The service was so-​so and the food, while not terrible, wasn’t good enough to impress me.
2 stars.
Meh. I’ve experienced better.

Generally shunning chains in favor of local novelties, Elephant Bar vaguely known as a failed branch once occupied space at a local mall back home, it was on the invitation of Rosie Gillam that three friends sat down to taste the restaurant’s newly debuted Brunch menu, conditions that an honest opinion be offered based on the overall experience with a particular focus on the food.
Unabashedly rooted in its theme, a large pachyderm and giraffe statues overlooking the foyer as well as the adjoining bar, Elephant Bar Henderson is located in The District at Green Valley Ranch at the end nearest the Casino and managed by Mr. Mike Tuttle who has overseen operations at several locations over the course of a dozen years, there is little doubt that management long-​ago learned to take care of its employees, our waitress a nine year veteran despite her young age while several others have worked nearly a decade at the space.
Genuinely a happy feeling family eatery, the global cuisine admittedly all over the place with obvious «something for everyone» intent, a first look at the Elephant Bar menu reads much less elaborately than other chains looking to sell their items with hyperbole, signatures and dietary discretions indicated by icons with additional verbiage limited to method and content.
Bopping IHeartRadio standards, volumeless ESPN on screens in the Bar, it was with warm greetings from a server prone to «Hun» and «My Lady» that the table was greeted and with suggestions for signatures offered an order was composed to take place in three courses, a total of eleven plates showing far better than many have suggested though a few of the newer selections certainly need to be tweaked or reworked.
Starting out with «Shareables,» plenty of coffee, water and iced tea refilled readily while the table dined and conversed with Mr. Tuttle, first bites of French Onion Ribeye Sliders showed a decent grade of meat topped in Swiss Cheese with caramelized Onions, the ‘au jus’ a bit oversalted and mostly unnecessary while sauces accompanying the Crispy Green Beans and Coconut Shrimp were equally flavor-​marring, the parmesan crust alone making the former irresistibly crave-​worthy while the later was already quite sweet without the «Pan-​Pacific» sauce included for dipping.
Looking at Braised Lamb Shank as a bold move for such a restaurant, their 2014 bankruptcy and subsequent purchase by Chalak Mitra group no doubt contributing several flavors familiar to Southern Asia and India to the spread, it was on the strong words of Mike that the re-​launched lunch optioned was ordered and with a falling-​from-​the bone texture combined to a deep sapor it turns out that the General Manager was spot-​on in his recommendation, each bite as rich as expected with necessary levity added by steamed spinach.
Impressed by the Angus burger with Blue Cheese and Pears, the beef soon to be upgraded to Prime per management, items from the Brunch Section were soon delivered in the form of a duo, the Raspberry Passion Pancakes fluffy with buttermilk flavors that help to prevent passion fruit from overwhelming while the Sunrise Breakfast Tostadas are unfortunately *far* to rich to be enjoyable, the tortillas holding up better than the table’s tastebuds to the mixture of bacon, peppers, onions, eggs and layer-​upon-​layer of thick, salty cheese.
Informing the GM and waitstaff of the Tostadas’ issues, the comments appearing to be taken seriously and passed on to the Chef, dessert was composed of two Elephant Bar Signatures plus the Brunch-​Only French Toast-​Butter Cake Sandwich — the Cobbler and Cast-​Iron Cookie each hitting all the right notes beneath melting ice cream while thin slices of Cream-​Cheese infused cake were mostly lost between bread, the Gooey greatness better appreciated in the classic preparation with toffee sauce and ice cream adding even more richness.
Admitting up front that national chains are not frequently a part of the dining agenda, menu prices alone amusing considering the higher cost generally involved in weekend plans, Elephant Bar suffers many of the flaws frequently associated with such places by attempting to be «everything to everyone,» but at the same time manages to execute some pretty complex flavors with a service staff that outperforms many «celebrity» spots on the Strip. Sure the sauces, seasoning and sodium content can tend to be overwhelming, but when taken as a whole there is no doubt that the menu executes better than others in its genre, particularly as relates to plates bearing «signature» status.

Manager — Trent
Server — Lucy
Great atmosphere with great service. I went there with my girlfriend to celebrate my promotion. It started off great there lettuce wraps are the best. Unfortunately the food I ordered didn’t mention it had mushrooms which I’m allergic too, it sucked cause it looked absolutely amazing the teriyaki chicken. I notified my server Lucy and she took care of it right away super apologetic. The manager over heard and immediately jumped in offering suggestions for different meals. They were awesome even though it wasn’t there fault but was at the same time they made it right. I ended up getting the cowboy stake and wow it was fantastic just melted in your mouth definitely a must try. Also my gf got the pub burger and that thing was huge she only was able to eat three bites and she was forcing it down cause how great it tasted. Highly recommend visiting great place great people. Great pizookie.

Ill give them 3 stars because the manager did call me and followed up with me after I post my review and apologize for everything.
I can tell he is good management. And yes my first experience sucked but the food was good I will be trying it again. Giving them another chance.
I will be updating my Unilocal review.
I guess he told everyone what happened because they knew who I was. And I’m ok with that. That’s how people learn. We are all human we make mistakes. Saying I’m sorry sometimes is all we need to hear. Thank you
Updating my stars Joe our server was extremely nice had my food I was taking to go ready when I was done eating my food was amazing came by to check on us. Glad I came back even the girl in the front was nice and made conversation
Awesome job everyone I definitely had a great 2^nd experience.
One of the best restaurants!

A let down of bad food with great menu descriptions. The happy hour here is a great deal and their cocktails, especially Mai Tai, are delicious.
Food, however, is overcooked and badly seasoned. Potato skins are cut into spears and this caused the skins to be crusty and hard to the point of stale-​like quality. Only the middles of the spears were edible. The melted cheese mixture was too mild and lacked flavor. They came with ranch, not sour cream? They were OK for $ 3 off. The coconut shrimp skewers, unfortunately, were disgusting. Very small, burnt, and no flavor. Not to mention they are one shrimp per skewer and this means 4 small shrimp total. Very upsetting. They are rested atop a pool of sweet-​n-​sour sauce and wonton strips?? The sauce didn’t accompany the shrimp at all and with burnt coconut, even less appealing.
The entrees were also disappointing. Misoyaki salmon was not tasty or appealing to the eye. For a full-​flavored fish like salmon, this had a VERY pale pink color and tasted more like chicken. The glaze was not reminiscent of miso at all and clearly put on the fish too early in the cooking process such that it developed a burnt taste by the time the fish was finished grilling. Not palatable. The vegetables underneath the fish filet were cut too thin and thus became soggy. Soggy squash is disgusting, especially unseasoned, soggy squash. The mashed potatoes, instead of rice, were supposed to be garlic mashed but the garlic was nonexistent. The potatoes also were not homemade and if they were, water was added to them instead of milk. Had a baby food quality. Again, no salt or pepper.
The stir fry is a poor attempt at one and the Cobb salad came with bacon jam spread on toast instead of croutons? Take a guess about the bacon jam… inedible.
Dessert to go was the gooey butter cake. This was not a butter cake but rather a yellow cake, possibly boxed, with a teaspoon of toffee sauce drizzled on top and RAW? pear slices. The toffee sauce was a «bourbon» toffee sauce. No bourbon detected at all. Shocking.
Needless to say, it’s not worth coming here unless it’s for happy hour and you want to wash down average appetizers with a strong drink. Probably not a return spot…

This place on the weekend is packed, I felt like a sardine stuffed into a small can! Our waiter seemed over worked. I received my order of orange chicken, but it tuned out to be a beef dish. I had to send it back. After the long wait for the food, it really wasn’t a great meal. The rice was warm at best, although the chicken was flavorful. After speaking with the manager and informing him about my un-​satisfaction, he comped my meal, this was the saving grace. So this is why they received 3 stars, the manager saved the night and a possible future customer. I am not sure if i will go there again, there are other places that i have really enjoyed.

Great service. Food was awesome. Tried a bunch of appetizers… green beans, seared ahi, potato skins, coconut shrimp, tortilla soup, all was on point.

Good food, GREAT SERVICE.
It was the night before Valentine’s Day so it was crazy busy and my boyfriend and I were seated in the the hostess’ estimated time of 20 minutes. We sat down order the app and food and got the appetizer in a little slower than good time but hey it was busy and the staff was working hard.
Our food came and as the server was putting down my boyfriends food I noticed there was blue cheese. I know he would never order blue cheese on a burger, so I ask the waiter and he said it’s the PEAR BURGER and he wanted a PUB BURGER. Seeing as the dining room was crazy loud and it just seemed like he didn’t hear us correctly, I just laughed and said its totally okay and he corrected the problem, came back, and offered us a free dessert to go for the trouble. THATS HOW YOU PLEASE A CUSTOMER, and how you fix a mistake.

We enjoy the food and services. The food was delicious and fresh. We sat outside enjoyed the beautiful weather along with our dinner. It was our first time and we already planning to come back.

A fun, relaxing dining experience. Great presentation of food and beverage. Kids portions were huge (they could save food cost and cut back) kids 10 and 12 couldn’t finish. Lamb Chops and Steak were cooked perfect. Good flavor on everything. Fingerling potatoes were a bit al dente but they were super fast to recognize and replace.
Our server, Edgar, was awesome. Thank you for making our night special.

1^st time here, food was great! service was fast and very friendly! Nice atmosphere, love the District :)

It’s been about 2 years since my last visit. I gave up on this place after too many poor experiences.
I was very happy that the place seems to have improved greatly!
The Pub Burger at happy hour is one of the best deals anywhere– a big burger with bacon & a giant onion ring plus fries and a (domestic) draft beer for $ 7.95.
Add $ 1 or $ 2 for an import or craft beer.
Service was good, and the bartender (we ate at the bar) was friendly and even laughed at my jokes!
The happy hour menu doesn’t have the rock bottom prices they used to have here. Drinks are discounted and some apps are half price. My old standby drink here, the Elephant Tea (a long island) was missing too which makes me sad. I would come back for the Pub Burger at happy hour for sure.

Pretty tasty for a chained restaurant. Shared a big sample platter w/​my mom in law, THE GRAZER
Zesty artichoke dip — parmesan crusted green beans — hand-​breaded chicken tenders — sweet potato fries (serves 4), so we had leftovers, TEMPURA SALMON ROLL
Seared salmon — avocado — carrots — cucumbers — tofu — soy glaze — sesame seeds (it was more liked cooked salmon but still tasty), & the blackened Mahi Mahi (it was ok). I would go back for the shareable plates & happy hour.
If you download their app, you can get a free Appetizer

Came here for a quick bite with Cesar Q. and some work peeps. The ambiance at this restaurant/​bar is great! Love the safari theme. The staff wears pretty cool safari type shirts with denim bottoms.
We were greeted at the door and promptly seated in the back just off the kitchen. There were 5 of us and apparently this was the only place for us?! Whatever our food got to us quicker I suppose.
We were lucky that there was someone in training so we had 2 servers. We were asked what we wanted to drink and quite quickly we got our beverages. Placed our order with ease. The servers did a good job.
I ordered a dinner salad and baked potato as my entrée. The salad was fine, nothing special. My stuffed baked potato was good but the outside had been burnt with crispy black spots on it. Such a let down. We spilt one tortilla soup and I can say it was really quite good.
I’m not overly impressed by this place. It’s pretty ordinary something like an Applebee’s type place. Everything appeared to be pre measured.
Would only come back if I have to because of work or drinks.

Me and Ellen F. came with a mutual friend who is a huge fan of this place, he says nothing but good things about it. The name itself jarred my curiosity, the Elephant Bar. We came at 11:30 so the place wasn’t crowded at all, the host seated us right away in the back booth. Elephant Bar has an open kitchen in the back so you can see the staff prepare your food, which I don’t mind.
The décor IMO was appealing and comfortable. It’s a safari type theme yet very modern, old school advertisements for Africa and warm wood colored tones. When we walked in I caught a glimpse of the bar, it was circular surrounded by clear shadeless windows on all sides. The bar definitely looks like a chill drink spot, going to have to check it out sometime.
I ordered the Chicken & Shrimp Jambalaya, for $ 2 extra I opted for the bourbon rice instead of the white or brown option, I’m a sucker like that. To start me and Ellen F. split the chicken tortilla soup. The waitress was awesome, she actually split it up into two bowels instead of one which is a bitch to share with someone. The soup was luke warm, I like my soup hot. Although the soup was not the temperature I liked it did taste really good. Wasn’t to spicy had the right amount of zest to it.
The Jambalaya was just OK, nothing real special. The rice was worth the extra $ 2 though. The sauce tasted like it came out of a plastic bag along with the chicken. I think it got left under the heat lamp for to long as it had that dry film-​like coating starting to form on top. The quantity was definitely enough as I was full when I finished it, the lunch portion definitely would not have done the job, so if your hungry get the dinner size for $ 15.99.
Overall I expected a lot more as far as quality of food, the prices are up there and the ambience definitely gives it that fine dining vibe. If I come by again it won’t be by my choice unless its for the bar area. On a positive note the service was great, my water never got low and she actually brought lemons with the water without me asking, she was super friendly and genuinely made us feel welcomed.
