The Elm - La Grange

The restaurant has a beautiful and lively atmosphere that reminds me of restaurants in Napa Valley, California. They offer farm-to-table dishes that are fresh and delicious. We started with the flavorful parmesan fries and Caesar salad, which had extremely fresh greens. For our main course, we shared the crab cakes and Halibut. While the crab cakes didn't have lump crab meat, the seasoning was tasty. The Halibut was incredibly fresh and melted in your mouth. Elm is like having a piece of Napa Valley in my neighborhood. I absolutely love this place!

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere outside and a great selection of wines. I highly recommend the fig bruschetta and the unique and delicious tacos for appetizers. For dinner, the local farm steak is beautifully prepared and tastes fantastic.

We visited this place for the first time and enjoyed the nice atmosphere on the rooftop. However, we had to wait for at least 10 minutes before anyone came over to our table. We eventually had to call over the hostess to find our server, but even after 5 more minutes, no one showed up. It seemed like the restaurant was not prepared for a busy Sunday night after a festival. We don't plan on returning to pay high prices for such poor service. We decided to leave instead of waiting indefinitely. We gave the food 3 stars only because we had tried it before at a wedding shower.

Place is very very nice but food is not great. Everything we had just had no taste. It is sad to see really great place have this issue. And from other reviews it seems like I wasnt the only one who noticed this. I hope you guys will improve on your food.Waiter was very nice and rest of the staff too.

Nice location, nice atmosphere. The place gets really busy and crowded with live music, so be prepared to a high level of noise. Staff was friendly, food was ok, but nothing special. Would I return? Probably not, because food was not really great and the place is too loud for me.
