The food was excellent. I had the best (Italian) pork chop I've ever had my whole life. I'm not kidding. It was amazing!!! The service was friendly and hospitable. There were a couple of hiccups. A food item was missed, and when you pay as much money as you do at a high-end restaurant like this, they should box your leftovers up for you.
Tastiest chicken orzo I've had in my life by far. High quality food and drink. Very friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend. Definitely will be back when in the area. Thank you for the kind service and hospitality Kelly and Steiner!
The first date my boyfriend and I went on was to The Elephant! Since then we have made the tradition of treating ourselves every Valentine's Day and our anniversary every July. Such a rare gem in Western KS! By far one of the BEST places we have ever been to eat! The atmosphere, food, and drinks are all top-notch! We try to change our order every time we visit, and each time we are impressed. The rum punch and tajin pina colada are a must-try!
Had a great night here. Beautiful place with a great atmosphere. We had brewhouse spicy avocado egg rolls for an appetizer, which were creamy and absolutely devine. I had the filet mignon, which was perfectly cooked medium rare and had a rich buttery taste and was extremely tender with a delicious baked potato mash and green beans. My girlfriend had the keto steak tacos that were delicious, but the steak was very chewy. We had a cheesecake drizzled in caramel, which was delicious, and tableside smores, which was lit ablaze upon placement on our table that was very rich and decadent. They had a few beers from around kansas (craft brews) and a myriad of mixed drinks (the italian expresso martini was my girlfriends favorite). I highly recommend this place for an elegant dinner in the boonies.
Positively the best kept secret of Kansas!! Great hospitality, menu that impresses, drinks galore!! So many innovative menu items, yet they somehow make you feel like home! This establishment was recommended to me by some colleagues and I have been here multiple times on my business trip already. I'll be telling the world about this place because it's just amazing!! Bravo!
After reserving a table about a week out and driving over an hour to get there, was very delighted with the food and experience at The Elephant. This is the best fine dining establishment outside of Wichita, KC, or Denver in the region. Cocktails are top notch, everything was quite unique, even some wine selections from Kansas. I am always nervous about ordering steak in a restaurant due to being generally disappointed in the result. Got the bison ribeye and it was amazing. Buttery notes, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The Mrs had chicken parm with a creamy pesto risotto that was out of this world. For the finale we opted for the smores dessert. It is a puff pastry with chocolate and marshmallow served on a smoked cedar plank with ice cream and chocolate sauce. For added effect, it is served flambeed at the table. Can't wait to go back, there are endless options for any palate on the menu that sound equally delicious. 10/10, highly recommend. Could this be the first possible Michelin star restaurant in Kansas?
My first time eating a bison steak! Very interesting! A great selection of meal, and perfect quality. The service was very good, the atmosphere was splendid. I would highly recommend this place. A great selection of drinks. I suggest to put this town in your itinerary just for this restaurant.
Everything about The Elephant is perfect, in my opinion! From the atmosphere, to the wait staff, to the food and cocktails.. even the bathrooms are impeccable!! Everything we've tried on the menu has been wonderful and well worth every price point depending on our budget for the day or night! Cocktails are stunning and delicious... and very well thought through. You won't go wrong with just about anything at The Elephant!!
