The Scene – A colorful crowd of food lovers make the trek to sample hard-to-find Cambodian dishes and non-fussy French fare. Attentive young servers and colorful, eclectic dishes provide the bright, upbeat dining room with plenty of atmosphere (there are also many elephant images, for good luck). Libation lovers have a menu of fruity house concoctions to select from, as well as an exciting wine list that's full of rare, international varietals. – – The Food – Wise diners mix and match the menu's endless assortment of French and Cambodian dishes. Must-try starters…

Boring food, atrocious service
by bostonjustin at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: Got to leave when finished with meal
- Cons: Miserable unfriendly service

Unique menu offers different dining experience
by lsarao at Citysearch
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!
- Pros: Delicious
- Cons: Parking tough, but valet was only $7
The Details on Elephant Walk
Know Before You Go:
Word to the wise: unless you have an iron tongue, order the Cambodian dishes on the mild side and ask for a dish of hot sauce (spicy here means more than a pinch of curry powder).
Parking:
Good luck finding parking in this heavily residential area (forget about it when the Red Sox are in town). Fortunately, there's an on-site parking lot that is free for lunchtime patrons and costs $7 (valet service) at night.
Save Money:
A four-course tasting menu, served Sundays through Thursdays, costs only $29.95.
