The Scene
Oversized rainbow-striped banquettes, mid-century-inspired chairs and bright mosaics do justice to the bubbly, urban take on comfort food served up nightly at Elmo. The bar is bustling most nights with visiting diners and Chelsea locals.
The Food
The menu is one part Mom's table and two parts chic--a recipe that turns out fun interpretations of old favorites. Start with a bowl of alphabet soup with dilled chicken dumplings, or appetizers like fried calamari with tartar sauce or gorgonzola-topped garlic bread. When it comes to entrees, the chef shines with perfectly seared tuna and good old meat and potatoes. And save room for dessert, which includes cheeky Duncan Hines devil's-food cake.

This place had crazy drunk people running all over the place while we were trying to eat! The art on the wall is funny to look at so it caught our eye and went in. Our waiter was so slow and having fun, but my party wasnt. Our food took forever and the chicken was dry and calimari was like rubber. I will never go back to this place again.

I went to Elmo for brunch on Sunday. It was terrible! The silverware was dirty, the food was really bad! My burger was aweful and my boyfriends eggs were dry and tasted like "vinegar" he said. The drinks are expensive and every other brunch spot at least gives you unlimited mamosa's. My Vodka and Mix "mary" tasted like a taco mix. GROSS! You wont find us having brunch at elmo, I would much rather yummy pancakes at Cafeteria!
