The food is always good here and the service is amazing. My waiter was very attentive and provided suggestions for what to try. Seafood boil was very flavorful! Catfish was crispy. 10/10 in my book.

Why does our group of four ALWAYS meet at End of Elm? Because this gastropub NEVER disappoints. During this visit, our server Charlize was the star of the show. After introducing herself and asking our names, Charlize facilitated an optimal flow of drinks, tailored plates, and dessert. Over three hours at our preferred Table 29, we enjoyed the shaved brussels salad, shrimp tostones, and multiple orders of the butternut squash soup and fried chicken sandwich. We capped off the meal with the crumb cake dessert. Particularly excited about this visit, one member of our party did not eat all day; in the end, he conveyed his satiation with a smile while sipping his nightcap amaretto. On this busy Saturday night, Charlize notably thanked us all by name. She, bartender Nick, manager Tommy, and associate Kevin deserve special commendation for clearly working as a team, creating a great vibe, and providing us with another memorable night at End of Elm. We will surely return to Table 29.
