East-inspired and meant to be shared. Though we understand if you need a minute alone with the Ahi Tuna & Crispy Rice first.

Tonight’s plan, loosely speaking:
table on the patio → cocktail → shared plates → another cocktail.
Late night happy hour tonight and tomorrow 10 PM–12 AM.

Shared plates have long been part of dining across Asia, where meals are built around community and curiosity.
One dish leads to another, and the table becomes the center of the experience.
At Elephant East, that tradition continues.
