liked it very much...
and i can be pretty picky. the nicest part was definitely the service... friendly attentive and helpful. the drinks were very good too. the food was not terribly imaginative, but was certainly tasty.

Bistro-a-go-go
I have a paranoid feeling that all mid-level gay-area restaurant menu designers all read exactly the same magazine because they basically all serve almost identically the same food. I had dinner at "Cafeteria" earlier this week, which had meatloaf & mashed, pan-roasted chicken, hangar steak, iceberg chunk salad, and then came to Elmo, and what did they have on the menu - meatloaf & mashed, pan-roasted chicken, hangar steak, you get the picture. Utterly predictable, but well-prepared food, bistro style (better than diner, worse than restaurant), friendly attentive staff (or was it my 19" arms in a skintight shirt), and expensive. Frozen margarita served in a glass tumbler seemed to lack a certain, uh, flair. Similar to Cafeteria, similar to similar restaurants in LA, San Francisco, and so on. Heavy on huge-muscled eyecandy as patrons.
