The Elbow Room - West Hartford

Although the menu has been pared down from its pre covid days, my wife and I haven 't had a problem finding a tasty meal. Ranging from small plates, to salads, burgers, and full entrees. The entrees include glazed salmon, steak frites, Elbow Room Mac and cheese, fajita bowls, and shrimp carbonara. There are a myriad of burger choices as well as sides. The dining room is large, with large windows facing Farmington Ave. There is a large bar, the Tap Room adjacent and connected to the dining room with a huge array of beers on tap as well as a fully stocked bar. The Elbow Room is also known for its rooftop bar and dining area. On a beautiful day or evening, the rooftop can serve as an oasis on a hectic day. In addition to the rooftop, there is outside seating (weather permitting) on the sidewalk with full menu service The Elbow Room is kid and dog friendly. It is the perfect place when your group can 't decide I don 't want a full dinner, I want a steak dinner, I just want a salad on their meal choice.Parking: The town parking lot abuts the back entrance of the restaurant.

I really like this place. My dish was excellent, shrimp thick and juicy and the veggies fresh. Staff was extremely pleasant and I love the atmosphere. It was a rainy Sunday afternoon so I didn't check out the rooftop space but I will. The whole area is wonderful but this spot right at an intersection stands out. Seems like a great place for friends and family. Can't wait to return.

Trivia on Wednesdays is fun, but the questions are hard and pretty random.

Was here a few weeks ago on the rooftop, amazing service and lovely weather, decent food, pleasantly surprised after reading all the negative reviews, glad this place got recommended to me by a

I've been coming here for years and I always loved it until recently. The new staff sucks, drinks are gross and over priced, the service on the roof is so slow tha its not worth the wait. the big muscle bartender is rude and made me and my friends uncomfortable, and the old fashion he made my boyfriend was tragically bad. I don't know what happened with this place but they need to make some changes. Definitely avoiding this place this summer.
