Really hit or miss.\n\nWe got a gift card for Elephant Bar some time ago, so we have been there twice to use it up. The first time, we ordered the chicken marsala and cream of asparagus soup. FABULOUS. Also, Elephant Bar has extraordinary iced tea. The second time, my fianc\u00e9 duplicated his original order and I got a weeeeeeeeird salad with basil leaves in it. His order, which was so great the time before, was super bland and the sauce was really lumpy. My salad was utterly disgusting. More than half the salad was basil leaves rather than lettuce. Sure, I expected the basil, but as a complement to the salad itself... not that the basil itself was the salad!\n\nThe people who gave us the gift card have some notion that Elephant Bar is our favorite restaurant (not sure why), so I bet we'll be getting another gift card for the next major occasion. It's a very Seinfeld-ish of situation. That's the only reason I would likely return. I really value consistency when I dine out... it's a major bummer when you come back for something (like my fianc\u00e9's chicken marsala), only to feel like you're eating a completely different dish.
