## What diners say

Shannon Regli ★★★★★

We had a lovely time here, just came in to have a drink. Our waiter, Jay, was great! He told us the history of the 40 elephants gang, and helped me decide on a drink. He was incredibly patient and nice!! When we were there, the two Jays (both amazing waiters!!!) were quizzed by their boss about the history of the bar! They both lost a half a point on a very minor discrepancy. In our opinion (as teachers ourselves), we thought their answers were spot on! 😂 They both deserved 100%! The vibe of the bar was good, but the two of them made the bar great! We really enjoyed our time there. Thank you Jay and Jay!!

Lovely hotel. The food was good and tasty. The drinks were lovely. They were very accommodating even though we arrived later than expected. The prices are a little high for the portion size. Would definitely come back again.

Kevin Lognoné ★★★★★

Beth was the great team member of the 40 Elephants who greeted us and served our three drinks : Bee the Queen, the Alibi and the one with diamond. The service was absolutely perfect. It was my second time visiting the 40 Elephants bar after a fantastic experience with Alberto and his team. Tonight, Beth was super attentive and dedicated to offer a service of excellence. I would definitely recommend to spend quality time at the bar itself and of course to explore the fascinating interior design & decoration around. Probably, an excellent location for gathering people if you also consider the direct access to the meeting rooms at the - 1 floor.

Sweat Less Travel ★★★★★

This place had an almost whimsical nature to it. We just need a quick bite to eat after a long day of sightseeing, and wow, there was a wonderful restaurant at our hotel, the bar food hit the spot. The drinks had a good pour, the food was good, and the service was also very good. We were so happy to not have to walk any farther from our room.
