Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Spirit Elephant enchants with its "delicious, creative menu" that delights both vegans and non-vegans alike. The vibrant and inviting atmosphere pairs perfectly with "excellent service" and a commitment to quality. Although the noise level can be high, the outdoor patio provides a serene dining experience. Highly recommended for "outstanding" vegan cuisine.

This is my new favorite. I absolutely love it and tell everyone about it. The energy is so warm and soothing. The GM is amazing and so friendly. Every server approaches you with a smile, and I love hearing the history of how it started. We will be going here many more times.

The food was very good. The service was excellent. Parking was easy to find. The decor was good. The noise level was a little on the loud sound. I would come again.

Michelle (sp?) was our server and she was absolutely phenomenal. Her knowledge of the menu helped guide us in the direction that we wanted to go for the food that we wanted to eat. She was also conversational, but not overly so. She hung around long enough to be pleasant, but then left us to our own devices at appropriate times. For a server, timing is everything, and she had it! The food was also amazing! There’s a reason this restaurant is rated number two in the country for being restaurants. They do not disappoint!

We were there for a little birthday lunch. Of course we started with the CaliWings- So goood! As are the Brussels Sprouts!! Really- the best Brussels I’ve ever had. Then the Chicken sandwich - yes I said chicken, and it has pea protein origins , it’s breaded and fried. This is the texture. This is extraordinary. It’s served on a roll with delicious coleslaw and pickles and the crispiest of fries. M-M-M. My bday husband had the Poke Bowl and it did look really good but I was so content with this chicken sandwich I failed to taste the Poke Bowl. We ordered a splice of vegan carrot cake and they also brought out the sweetest cube of a beautiful brownie with a candle and edible glitter!! This place is always terrific!
