The Elm Restaurant

“We were a party of 10 that went in there for a Sunday brunch. One thing to keep in mind is that they bring the food for the entire party at the same time. So, if you are a large party, expect to wait a while. My son and daughter-in-law go there on dates and they love the place. At least one of our grandsons was looking forward to go there because they had heard so much about the place. The dining area is very elegantly designed with tables spaced out for privately enjoying the meal. The food is delicious - at least the ones we ordered. The staff were friendly, attentive and courteous. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and, hopefully, I can take my wife there someday on a date.😊”

“Lovely food, especially the bread and steak. The drinks are a real standout; they do the classics well, but it's definitely worth trying some of their house cocktails. It's a very nice space as well, very airy. It is expensive, but not unexpectedly so given the quality.”

“Had a wonderful dinner with my family and enjoyed the atmosphere. Food was great and looking forward to the next months menu.”

“From the moment you walk in to the end of your experience, this place is exceptional! Drinks, appetizers, entrees & desert. The creators of the menu, WOW! This was my second time having dinner here. They did not disappoint. Service was excellent. My family and I can’t wait to go back!”

“The Elm is our favorite restaurant in Bloomington. They are always able to accommodate our needs. The service is professional, friendly, and personable. The wait staff, bar staff, and front of the house are always on point. We absolutely love the food here and have NEVER been disappointed. The seasonal menu is great and gives us an excuse to go more often. The Elm also challenges our pallet to try things we never thought we would. This time, it was grilled cabbage with miso gastrique and pepita purée. I never thought I would eat squid ink pasta, but it was delicious. The carrot tartare with fermented shallots tasted like smoked salmon, so amazing and healthy! Back again! Beef Wellington was amazing! Even the rosemary was placed with care on the beautiful lattice dough. A culinary work of art. Cacio et Pepe is always a favorite! We will always come back to The Elm. We actually had a window seat next to the kitchen and loved it! Such a professional operation at The Elm. Clean, professional, well managed. This is an independent, uncompensated review.”
