Elephant Bar Restaurant Anyone???

Tonight I dine in Sacramento, CA at the Elephant Bar Restaurant on Arden Way. I have seen this chain before around CA and NV but have never had the opportunity to check it out.
First impression. Looking at the exterior of this building I was thinking it was the type of place that would require the sale of one of my children to eat there. Not so. I must say I was very impressed with the average cost per plate.
The wait staff was all very prompt and friendly. They sat us in the bar area at our request, we ordered a beverage and appetizer but did not get the pressure to order the main entree as you would in other establishments. I was a little confused by the menu at first. “What kind of restaurant is this”? The items on the menu didn’t seem to fit any type of theme but as I continued to browse I became impressed with the overall selection.
The artichoke and spinach dip arrived just after the beverages and the entrees shortly after. When I say shortly after I don’t mean everything arrived at the same time (Restaurant pet peeve #1). Appetizer was good but nothing I would classify as a must have. For an entree I had the Pad Thai with Shrimp. Nice blend of vegetables and tofu accompanied by a sweet, yet gently spiced sauce. Shrimp were blah, small, lacking flavor and a little overcooked. All in all this was a good dish. I wasn’t licking the bottom of the bowl but would try it again, most likely with chicken the next time. Total cost for two people with dinner, drinks, appetizer and tip <$60.
The worst thing about this place tonight was the other patrons. This is no fault of the restaurant but some people are socially retarded and when you get two of them together, watch out. About the time I dove into the entree I was beginning to think I was attending the Jerry Springer Show. Tube tops should not be part of your wardrobe……ever, especially when grossly overweight and dinning out at places other than the Waffle House. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry………
