Elm & Good

American food. "Upscale" is up for debate, but it's at least decent fare.I had the potato croquettes, which were a little soft and missing a little crunch. The croquettes themselves didn't have a lot of flavor, but the pancetta saved the day. Small serving, which was fine, because I ordered multiple courses. I also had the Brussels sprouts, which were well-prepared, but the flavors (orange, ricotta, candied almonds) didn't shine through.For my entree I had the pan seared filet medallions. I ordered medium, and they were probably a little over-cooked, but the flavors were better than many places I've been recently. And the parmesan fries were crispy and flavorful. At 36 dollars, this was a winner.My server, Jose, was personable and attentive. He checked on me often and made great recommendations.For cocktails, I had the Pittman Pear margarita (el jimador blanco tequila, st. George pear liqueur, all-spice agave, and lime) the Tillie, Take Your Time (Tito's vodka, Gifford pamplemouse liqueur, cranberry, lime), hot lips (altos blanco tequila, luxardo, orgeat, firewater bitters, and fresh beet juice), and Portia in Paris (domaine de canton ginger liqueur, lillet blanc, lemon, pomegranate, sparkling wine).All the drinks had a good flavor profile, were pretty refreshing, and not cloying or sweet. They did have a few sweeter and coffee based drinks that I wasn't interested in, for those with different taste palates.The menu here is pretty limited, which isn't a bad thing. Mains include roasted chicken, fried haddock, peppered salmon, and NY steak. They also have house-made pasta (which I love, but don't trust most places with). Their selections include: wild mushroom fettuccine, cacio e Pepe, lobster bucatini, and skillet Mac n cheese. They also have salads and several other starters. My server said they sopresata and fig bread is amazing.Deep Ellum has so many restaurants that I wouldn't call this one a destination dining spot. But this was a Monday, the ambiance here was nice, tables and decor were clean and stylish, and the service was good. Would definitely dine here again (after checking out some of my other more creative options).

Elm & Good is an absolute gem, conveniently located downstairs in the Kimpton Pittman Hotel. It was delightful to enjoy an exquisite happy hour, get pleasantly tipsy, and then retreat upstairs for a quick nap before heading out for an exciting night on the town.The service was exceptional and warm. Despite it being my first visit, the bartender made me feel like a cherished regular, which added a special touch to the overall experience.The drinks were nothing short of fantastic. I indulged in the Pittman Pear Margarita, which was bursting with amazing flavor and had a generous pour. After just one drink, I was already feeling great--exactly what you hope for from a quality cocktail.But the true star of Elm & Good was the food. Their happy hour is an incredible deal, especially considering the deliciousness of every bite. I began with the Deep Ellum Sliders and tried just two of the Chicken Drumettes. However, they were so delectable that I couldn't resist ordering three more. Each bite was a delightful experience, showcasing the chef's dedication to flavor and quality.Though I only had the chance to visit during happy hour, it was impressive enough to make me eager to return for dinner service. Elm & Good left a lasting impression, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an outstanding dining experience, whether you're a guest at the hotel or simply exploring the area. This place is a must-visit, and I can't wait to return for more of their exceptional food and drinks.

The (+): Lemon-ricotta pancakes were delicious and they were kind enough to split them for us!The ambiance is lovely and it was convenient, given our stay at the hotel.The (-): Service was slow; the cashier/waitress ended up helping us nearly the entire time.

We had breakfast and night caps at Elm & Good. As you can see from my breakfast menu, it's pretty straight forward. The staff was helpful and accommodating.For breakfast, we particularly liked the Granola Parfait, see my pic. The Greek Yogurt wasn't overly tart and quite creamy. The granola was ample so the ratio was just right with the yogurt. The granola had a nice chew to it since it wasn't too dry and brittle. It comes with bit of fruit: one morning it was ample and the next it was skimpy. We also had the steel cut oatmeal, see my oatmeal pic. The oatmeal was creamy, yet still retained the texture of the oats. As you can see in my pic, they added plenty of toppings that added texture and flavor. This also had maple flavoring included in the oatmeal. I also added 2 eggs over medium, see pic, - these were fine.On one evening we stopped by for a night cap. Our bartender was extremely knowledgeable about the rendition of the drinks he made for us. He was quick and efficient.

I really wanted something new, tasty and close to home so i found Elm and Good and it's so cuteeee ! I love the decor but the food is why you bothered reading this review. I started with Catcher in the Rye cocktail and charred Broccolini, before ending with Babette SteakCharred Broccolini: they are definitely charred, and i love the Parmesan but i feel it's a bit too salty, if they had some kind of sweet flavor added or even unsalted butter, it would cut the saltiness of the dish. 9/10.Babette steak frites with friesThe fries were meaty and buttery while keeping its airy quality, im usually just an airy fry person but these are actually good. The Bavette steak i got was medium with great flavor! I can explain it, it's so delicious though, the flavors are explosive with a kick at the end! I tried it with the green sauce and it was very well done. The flavors give it an almost sweet , buttery finish. Now i like ranch with steak lol don't ask why, but i asked about ranch and unfortunately they don't have it... but they have a delicious house white aioli sauce and it melded perfectly with the steak. It wasn't so good with the fries though. 10/10I recommend this place , it's a good, tasty spot for a multitude of events, dates, meetings etc.

I learned about this restaurant/bar due to my passport book. This was probably the best deal in the book. You got 2 full-size glasses of wine for $1.01. This was probably the best thing about my experience. I was considering between a 3 and a 4, but I chose a 3 because of the circumstances that impacted my visit. When I first got there with my friend, the hostess, which we learned later, was the manager asked if we wanted to sit at the bar. We asked if we could sit at a table and learned that they were not open for dinner yet. We walked into the bar, but the bar was packed. There were some seats at the back of the bar with a bench seating along the wall and 3 tables and individual chairs on the other side. We first close to a door that lead outside but then learned the door was broken and ever time the wind swung open we heard loud music. There were two ladies sitting next to us, and they told us to move to the other side because it was so loud. We took their advice. It was a little better but still took away from the ambiance. After we sat for quite a while and still had no one come to our table, we asked the ladies if we had to go to the bar and what was going on? We learned that there was a mimosa walk, and that was why the bartender was slammed. Why he was without help didn't make any sense.We went to the bar to get our drinks, the wine was good and we had fun people watching but I would only come back if I knew they were not going to have any other events going on.

We really had the best bartender at this hotel bar. We were staying here on a layover and came down for a night cap. He made me a really amazing whiskey cocktail. It was a decently big place, with a good vibe. We had some tasty fries too but would love to try the actual food one day!

Personally would skip this spot. Many other good restaurants in and around Deep Ellum. Came here because I was staying at the hotel.Few points of improvement:Better hoursNicer staff Quicker order processingI came here once for dinner and once for breakfast. Both times, I did not have a great experience. Everything was slow. Restaurant was pretty empty. Food was poor quality. Best thing I had was the yogurt for breakfastI ordered:Fried calamari - very rubbery (ie overcooked), and literally no flavor. It was just a vessel to eat the Calabrian aioli. No lemon on the sideSalmon Caesar - fish was over salted but tasted fine. Was not over cooked. The Caesar itself had like a clumpy sauce and weird after tasteYogurt for breakfast - best thing I tried. Needed more chia seeds and fruit

Very attentive as one would expect located inside a Kimpton hotel but the food fell short. The kolaches were overcooked and the stone mustard contributed little to an already spicy sausage. The breakfast tacos were resplendent with cilantro which might work well for some but my 18 year old has an aversion to it and struggled to extract it from the dish. The oatmeal was a bit runny but likely the best of them all.

Typical hotel food; tasted like room service meals which, don't get me wrong, are great on their own but when I pick to "dine in" I have higher expectations on quality since spent time to dress up for the full experience. The tuna tartare tasted large-batch bland but its starch accompaniment was warm, soft, tasty bread. The cobb salad was decorated with so much blue cheese I almost asked for a to go box to take some home to add to my weekly meal prep and the chicken was just a touch on the ready-to-expire side. The fries tripped me out: they were dark brown like they had been over done but tasted underdone and failed the crisp test. Like they were par-boiled and then fried before they had a chance to dry? Give its location and decor the restaurant gives good face. The place is certainly pretty with a huge bar that perhaps would garner high reviews as a meeting place for drinks, but for sure the food is not their best selling point.
