Review content:
At first, Elf seems to be a gem of a restaurant in an up and coming part of Echo Park. It's a hip, neighborhood joint that's just so chi-chi, but has that wonderful, gritty East side character. While BYOB is always a wonderful thing, their version is a bit deceptive. No sooner than you start waiting for a seat, the hostess announces great organic wines for sale at the liquor store down the street. Great, we think, and we go get a bottle. Nonetheless, what they don't tell you, and is in fact not-so-friendly practice, is that despite NOT having a liquor license, they charge at $5 corkage fee, which upon my polite inquisition, was immediately removed. While the overall experience was good, the menu and the food eclectic, the price and the dishonest approach to BYOB takes away from the overall experience. Certainly a restaurant can charge whatever it wants, but Elf's prices are well beyond neighborhood friendly and that much more undesirable when they dishonestly strike you with a corkage fee. Oh, and the food is over-the-top loaded with garlic--a vegetarian version of the Stinking Rose perhaps? I do not think I'll go back anytime too soon.
Pros: Unusual option for that part of town.
Cons: Dishonest BYOB claim.
