   Nice location, ask for the Sunset room and if possible near a window overlooking the beach, if at night don't bother, too dark in the winter. Excellent ambiance, started with eggplant dip and yummy poof pita/pizza dough bread, gem salad (dressing excellent). A vodka sauce on the pasta was excellent and the burrata pizza was very mild not too intense in flavor, but light and tasty. The evening ended with an affogato which was made perfectly, with a caramel at the bottom of the ice-cream, and the expresso! Good coffee, great meal, will return to try other items.

   Very, very noisy. Tables very close together. Food was very good and they had a wide variety. Service was excellent. The atmosphere would prevent me from returning, except during slow times.

   The cacio e pepe has had me coming back for the last two years. I love Élephante so much. I had the custom espresso martini last night for the first time and that was delicious and so so cute 🥰 This is my favorite restaurant in Santa Monica.

   Élephante is a staple in Santa Monica! They are consistently good, always delivering delicious food, good drinks and a good vibe.

    La comida muy buena, calidad y sabor excelente. El servicio muy lento y para las bebidas había que pedirlas hasta 3 veces para que llegaran. Los meseros muy poco amables.
