An Amazing Valentine’s Date at Spirit Elephant We spent our Valentine’s Day at Spirit Elephant, and it was the perfect choice for a special date night. From the atmosphere to the menu, everything was excellent and truly amazing. The Highlights • Culti Wings (Garlic Parmesan): These were a standout! The garlic parmesan flavor was rich and savory, and the texture was spot on. Easily some of the best wings we’ve had. • The Salad: Fresh, crisp, and a great balance to the bolder flavors of the meal. • Non-Alcoholic Margaritas: We opted for the mocktails, and they did not disappoint. They were refreshing, zesty, and felt just as celebratory as a classic cocktail. The Verdict The food was top-tier and the service made our Valentine's date feel truly special. If you're looking for a spot that prov

The food was incredible, we got half sweet chili and half bbq cauliflower as an appetizer and those were some of the best cauliflower wings I’ve ever had (vegan for 10 years) The BLT was super good! Our server was very attentive and kind (I believe her name was Sandra) and the restaurant itself had a great vibe, beautiful plant walls! Will definitely be back again and again!

★★★★★ 5.0 Karianna Cooper · Dec 2025

We hosted our baby shower at Spirit Elephant, and it was truly perfect from start to finish! I could not be more grateful for the incredible experience. A huge shoutout to Morgan, our event coordinator, who went above and beyond for us. She made the entire planning process feel effortless from helping us thoughtfully create the menu, finalize the floor plan, and making sure every detail aligned with our vision. On the day of the event, she was phenomenal. Calm, organized, and genuinely caring, she ensured everything ran seamlessly so we could simply enjoy celebrating with our loved ones. The restaurant team working our event were equally wonderful. They were so kind, attentive, and warm with every one of our family and friends. We received so many compliments on the food, service and the

We came here for my sister's birthday last week. First off, let’s just start by saying the name of this spot is incredibly creative—it sets the tone for the entire experience. If you are even remotely considering coming here, let me be clear: YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE! When you first walk in and look at the menu, it can be a bit overwhelming and honestly a little confusing at first glance. You’ll see a massive variety ranging from "crab cakes" to hearty chicken sandwiches and spicy chorizo. However, the absolute kicker—and the reason you’ll be shocked—is that nothing is made with animal products. It is all 100% vegan! Despite being entirely plant-based, the food is nothing short of fantastic. The Standout Dishes The Chorizo: This was a total highlight. The seasoning is spot on, providin

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Telesky · Oct 2025

Had an amazing lunch today at Spirit Elephant. Started with a delicious mushroom soup, followed by the best buffalo chicken egg rolls I’ve had. Main course was a double smash impossible burger with garlic aioli and Gouda cheese. I was stuffed, but I miss carrot cake so when I saw it on the menu I had to order it. Hands down the best carrot cake vegan or not! I should add, service was outstanding, from being greeted immediately when I walked in, water service and Sandra, my server it was top notch amazing service.
