Blue Elephant (CLOSED)

When it’s warm outside and its patio is open, this tiny restaurant’s seating capacity triples. But no matter the weather, the kitchen (on view from the dining room) remains mind-bogglingly tiny. That is, it’s mind-boggling when you think about the never-ending number of dishes this place puts out. A lengthy list of pan-Asian eats includes summer rolls, pot stickers and a delicious bowl of vaguely sweet Massaman curry served with roti, but Thai-food purists might not find that real-deal flavor they're looking for.
