For appetizer I do recommend getting the Brussels sprouts. Don’t get the corn because it’s way too filling for one person. Only get that if you’re eating with 2 people.
The food however I think overall is slightly over priced by $2-3 but it’s for sure worth the experience!
Beautiful presentation of the plates and drinks both. No wait at the bar. We sat right away.
We started our meal with the cucumber appetizer, and what a unique and fresh way to begin. This isn’t your typical starter; it’s a dish that’s so vibrant and clean, it perfectly prepares your palate for the incredible flavors to come.
For the main course, we had the ribeye. Let me be clear—this isn’t a steakhouse, but it’s hands down the best marbled, seasoned, and cooked steak you’ll find in all of Horizon City. This steak is so perfect, you wouldn’t dare contaminate it with anything like A1 sauce; in fact, I’d bet they don’t even carry that condiment. It’s a testament to the quality of the meat and the skill of the kitchen.
To complement the ribeye, the blue corn tortillas were a revelation. Made hot and fresh to order, they were simply wow, just wow. They are a must-have and truly elevate the entire meal.
To finish, the chocolate tamale was an absolute showstopper and an unforgettable way to end the meal. Elemi on Eastlake truly does not disappoint. Last but not least give it up to world class service from Jorge with the great menu recommendations and superb service. You will not be disappointed at Elemi.
The only thing that caught me off guard was when it came time to cut my birthday cake. I was informed there would be a $10 service fee because they sell desserts. I understand restaurants have policies, but after spending around $200 on food and drinks, it felt a little off — especially on a birthday celebration. It wasn’t about the $10, it was more the principle of it.
That said, the overall experience was still wonderful. I would definitely return for the food and atmosphere — just something to be aware of if you plan to bring your own cake.
Had the Brusselas and the mix and match tacos plate, Conejito Pibil and Campechano with the caramelized quesillo (basically a cooked cheese inner tortilla, and the “Arroz con Leche” (coconut milk chia seed pudding). Overall, really good food! Pleasantly surprised and was full! My favorite was the Campechano taco with the quesillo. The Conejito Pibil, mentioned from Texas Monthly, was good too. The brussel sprouts and “rice” pudding were very good good as well. I appreciated how quickly the food came out after ordering, and the good service from the bartender, since I sat at the counter bar.
Definitely coming back again with the family!
