                                      very good as usual. we arrived a little early and got seated right away. Hostess told us they had a NYE special menu but regular menu was also available. after sitting down, our waitress explained it differently. Either order from the prix fixe menu or some special items for that night! we didn't know about the set menu when booking the table so we explained that we only wanted our usual favorites. the waitress went to the kitchen and came back later and agreed to the few items we wanted. I wish this app allows the restaurant to put down specific information related to a reservation, such as "prix fixe menu only for NYE", this way we could avoid this confusion from last night.

                                      I have loved Elephant sushi every time I’ve been there but last night it just wasn’t up to their standards. The tempura was mushy. The black card was out of this world but the salmon color just was not that good and I was really disappointed. Maybe too many people came in at the same time in the kitchen was very busy, but just was not up to to the quality that I had

                                      Another excellent dinner here before the symphony! Must try the omakase nigiri, fish fresh and buttery. Drinks creative and all fruit squeezed here for them. Interiors hugs you with warmth and excitement! Always thank you.

                                      Sushi rolls were wildly over seasoned. The Nigiri was really good the first time we ordered it, and mediocre the second time. That level of inconsistency is pretty unacceptable.
