“It's particularly a cool place because you can go there early in the evening for a fun family meal with the wife and kids or late at night for a romantic rendevous with the girlfriend (not that you should have both).”
“The appetizer was wonderful and so were our entrees (we had one french and one cambodian, both extremely tasty and original) and then ended with a typical french chocolate layer cake.”
“What a great drink!”
“This is an excellent, lively restaurant featuring terrific food that blends Cambodian and French traditions.”
“Unique menu offers different dining experience”
“The service is better than most restaurants in boston, but i guess it always depends on who you get as a server, I have my favorites :) It is a little pricy but it is a great place for a date.”
“We won't return because of the slow service.”
“Good food but SLOW service”
“The staff was fairly friendly, and the food was alright, but a bit pricey for the quality.”
“He took too long to bring our drinks (martinis not so cold) and the appetizer was also cold.”View Less
Great place for a date. We had a wonderful dinner, absolutely marvelous, and the manager was great, he accepted our Restaurant dot com coupon even though we weren't supposed to use it on a Saturday. However, we had the absolutely worst waitress ever. Very unfriendly, sour personality, and extremely slow. She never refilled our drinks, never asked how the meal was, and we had to flag down someone else to take our credit card because we were late for a movie, and she hadn't been by the table in more than 20 minutes.…
Great Food!. Great Food, nice and cozy environment. A good choice for the romantic dinner
Boring food, atrocious service. We went to the Beacon Elephant Walk after hearing generally positive things, but the only thing memorable was how absolutely horrible an experience we had. The food itself was boring but not awful. What did leave a bad taste in our mouths, however, was the atrocious service. I know this is Boston, where customer service isn't a top priority, but our server was either having an off night or should get out of the business of working with people. She was plain rude from the beginning of the meal to the end, never once introduced herself, smiled or did anything to make us feel appreciated. She bossed around the busser when she didn't like what he was doing, skipped over our table for 15 minutes when it was clear we had finished our meals and remained an absolutely miserable person throughout the evening. It was hands down the worst service I have ever received at any restaurant. Unless you enjoy feeling dejected and unworthy, I'd suggest steering clear.…
Unique menu offers different dining experience.
Dined here at the Boston location the other night for the first time. Everything on the menu looked great and it was a difficult decision. Although they say the cuisine is a "fusion" of Cambodian and
French, the two are clearly separated on the menu. Although I really wanted to try an authenic Cambodian dish, I was tempted by the French rare, pan-seared tuna loin encrusted with bread crumbs; sliced over spiced red and green chili cream sauces with crisped pear and scallion ravioli. And yes, it tasted as good as it sounds. The tuna was cooked perfectly and the sweetness of the pear ravioli complemented the spicy chili sauces perfectly.
Highly recommended for people who are not afraid to step outside the box and try something different!…
Serendipitous change of scene. When it comes to French-Cambodian cuisine, there are very few restaurants names in Boston that come to mind besides the Elephant Walk restaurants in the back bay and Cambridge. With this in mind, we went specifically for the change in palate, and what a surprisingly nice dinner it was. The back bay restaurant is discretely located on the East end of the BU campus- not too flashy from the outside, but upon entering- the ambience is pleasantly fancy. It accommodates to a wide variety of clientele- business partners. first dates, girls' parties, family dinners and local restauranteurs. We went on the night of a big Patriots game; yet it was rather packed! The staff was friendly, attentive- yet not overly in-your-face. As for food- the menu consists of cambodian and french cuisine- which was actually to our surprise since we'd expected the trendy 'fusion-cuisine.' Both of us went with cambodian- starting with spring rolls and a raw tuna/avocado salad- both of which was quickly yet delicately prepared- not too salty but flavorful, and furthermore: unusually generous in portions! For entrees- we went with the traditional braised/steamed seafood stew and the sea scallops- both of which were nothing like what we could've ever imagined! Delicious, not too salty (which is unfortunately the case for many restaurants!), delicate balance of different flavors, well-portioned, and beautifully presented. The mashed edamame that came with the scallops was particularly memorable! We indulged so much in the appetizers and entrees that had no room for dessert ! This restaurant comes well-recommended. Another note: for the food quality, service and ambience- this restaurant is not over-the-top in prices!…
