Elwood is a delicious restaurant and a wonderful dining experience. I went there in 2022 to celebrate with my fiance when we first got engaged. It’s intimate and unpretentious and clearly a lot of thought and care has gone into the menu and the recipes and the experience. My family is from Pennsylvania Dutch country and I was so excited to discover Elwood. However, here’s why I’m giving it 3 stars. I was looking for a last minute reservation for 5 people for my birthday. My mom is pescatarian and cannot eat meat. On their FAQs it says that most of the food is cooked with animal fat instead of oil. I was excited at the idea of taking my mom to a restaurant that has so much of the food she grew up eating. So I called to ask if all of the food had animal fat in it or if there was anything a vegetarian could eat at all. The person who answered the phone was so mean. They kept saying they didn’t understand what I was asking and asked if I thought mashed potatoes and salad had animal fat in it. The websites says “We do our best to use the entirety of the animal and animal fats are used in most dishes in lieu of oil.” It’s hard to convey how bizarre and belittling the person was being. By the end of the call I was in tears. In conclusion, do go to Elwood. It’s a great restaurant and a great experience. Just don’t call them on the phone, especially it seems when whoever it is that answers is having a bad day.

Very pretty small space, comfortable and special without feeling overly pretentious. The owner/chef served us and it was a very pleasant experience. Plenty of food and more affordable than expected. Service Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Had an enchanting evening here with my Auntie who’s a Fishtown resident and wanted to try this amazing restaurant she’d been hearing such good things about. It was absolutely top notch. The food was amazing and artfully presented, with special touches by the owner to make it just about the most delightful meal I’ve had in years. Highly recommend!!!
