Elderwood

First of all our waiter (René) was attentive and personable, making for a great experience! The food was delicious and plentiful. We split an entree (Roasted Chicken) and had the Goat Cheese and the meatballs. Lori said the Goat Cheese shareable plate was the best she's ever had. I would agree. We were also able to enjoy a beautiful sunset under the warmth of their heaters and fireflies on a cool January evening. We'll be back!

We have eaten at the Elderwood in the past and found it overpriced and underwhelming. We hadn’t been back in a couple of years but heard that they had made some changes so we decided to try it again. Our most recent visit was a much better experience. The ambiance was nice as usual but the food was much better than it used to be. The menu had a broader selection than before and the quality and flavors were a welcomed improvement. The bar has great drinks and a great selection of zero proof cocktails if you are not a big alcohol drinker. The service was pleasant as usual and with the new menu the Elderwood is now one of our favorite restaurants in the area. If you haven’t been in a while I’d recommend giving them another try. I can easily see us becoming regulars here.

We tried a few dishes here, and overall had a nice experience! Heirloom Tomato Toast - The topping was a bit too sour for my taste. (6/10) Spicy Shrimp - Absolutely amazing! Packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. (10/10) Dinner Rolls with Honey Butter - Rolls were a little hard. If they had been warm and fresh, the butter would have melted inside and tasted even better. (7/10) Caesar Salad - Enjoyed it, though I feel some cheese instead of cauliflower would have made it perfect. (8/10) Shrimp Scampi - Taste was outstanding, rich buttery sauce, but portion size was smaller than expected. (10/10) Special mention to our waitress-she was super attentive and kept checking on us, which made the experience even better.

We reserved a table for our anniversary, the wait to get seated took a minute. Although when we got to the patio the atmosphere was great! The staff were decent. The food was yummy, I would say a small menu but very good on the dishes they provide. We got the pork belly it was great! Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to a friend it’s the most fancy place in the county.

Great breakfast (yogurt + extra fruit) and happy hour (cocktails and ceviche). Staff were so friendly. Great bartender. Wifi was spotty and certain times the service was hit and miss for attentiveness, but a nice place.

We went there with a large group and made a reservation. We were seated right away. The only seating option for a group of 7 was outside on the roof. They do have portacool AC outside to help keep you cool, but it does kinda blow on you as you are eating. We turned it so it was facing away from the table slightly, also the sun was setting, so I would recommend bringing sunglasses. The food and drinks were great, they also have a small kids menu available upon request. The kid options were Mac and cheese, a burger and chicken. The burger and fries was a good kid option. I ordered the shrimp scampi, it was delicious. The Mostly sunny drink was also very good.

First time there and the food was tasty but my dish was cold when I got it. The server was great about getting me a new dish right away. I will still go back. It was a good experience. Drinks were good. I recommend the Bees Knees!! Soooo good!

Elderwood has become one of our favorite places over the years ...especially for my birthday and special moments. While we didn’t make it for dinner this year, we still stopped in during the week of my birthday for a mid-day cocktail, and just being there brought all the magic back. The rooftop setting is unbeatable, perched on top of The Darling Hotel with beautiful views of downtown Visalia. Time it right, and you’ll catch the most stunning sunset. I’m always drawn to outdoor venues, and Elderwood delivers every time with its open-air elegance and golden-hour glow. We’re big fans of the Roaring 20s, which also happened to be our wedding celebration theme, so the vintage vibes here feel like home to us. We’ve had spontaneous dates that turned into nights of dancing and drinks, all starting with dinner or a quick drink at Elderwood. It’s not just a restaurant, it’s an experience. From the rooftop views to the downtown energy just steps away, this place will always be part of our love story. Highly recommend for anyone looking to create one of their own.

We stayed at the hotel so it was convience to just go up to the roof top for dinner on the 5th floor. We love the art deco vibes, probably one of the nicest restaurant in town. Beautiful bar and a cozy dining room, howeverwe choose to sit outside by the fire pit to enjoy the roof top view. We were sitted promptly even without reservation. Both host and server were friendly. We order drinks and salad and a few small bites, the pork belly was my favorite. The shrimps were a bit salty. I like the salad as well, tender chicken, balance dressing and really like the roasted grapes added in there. Overall it was solid and a great place for dinner if you are on your way to Sequoia and Kings Caynon NP.

I came here for breakfast and honestly I was thinking it was going to be like any other breakfast place, but nooooo....it's AMAZING!!! So good!! I was seated outside with my girlfriends, and of course they have heaters and I didn't feel a chill! I ordered the 2 egg breakfast, and it was delicious! I can't explain the taste of everything, you have to try for yourself, and to be honest, I am obsessed with the PEPPER!!! ...yes the PEPPER!! I don't know where they get the spice from, but I want it. Customer service is top notch here, I felt very welcomed. I will definitely be back!!

This is a beautiful bar located inside the Darling Hotel. It has a gorgeous patio overlooking the city. It was freezing when we went, so we sat inside at the bar top. I ordered the signature Darling drink. My husband at the guava mimosa. Both drinks were great. Mine had a beautiful carved ice flower. The service was great and the restaurant is beautiful. It has the classic old school charm with some modern twists. We didn't eat, but the food menu looked great. I'd definitely come back.

I have given Elderwood several chances after our bad experience, and I am super pleased to say that they have exceeded my expectations every time. Our service has always been exceptional. We love the environment and vibe. The food is always delicious and is beautifully presented. We love it so much we make it a part of our budget to stay at the Darling and eat at Elderwood. The heaters and fire on the patio allow you to enjoy the views all year long. It's an escape within Visalia and it's worth every penny!

Although a bit pricey, their drinks and food are good quality and they change up their items seasonally. I enjoy both the outdoor and indoor seating depending on the weather. Servers are always quite attentive and don't rush you. I've been there when the bartenders have some specials and want your input on new drinks. Overall, always a fun time!

Food, Service, Ambiance, YOU CHECK ALL THE BOXES ELDERWOOD! This is a High End Restaurant/Hotel, so don't go expecting to pay $30 for 2 people Go when you have the $$ ya'll it's something everyone should experience in little Visalia! :) bread and butter is great! The hibiscus drink was my fav, & the fig appetizer?? Oh man, like I said... CB rocked all the boxes! Thank you ELDERWOOD

The rooftop seating is amazing! Outdoors and nice view of downtown Visalia. Our server Jack was super attentive and friendly. They seem to be understaffed so we waited a while for our food. I had the best chilaquiles yet and I've had a few of them. We seated on a table that was facing the sun so it wasn't the best but the rest of the tables seem perfect. Overall great brunch! We will come back for more.

We'd been looking forward to coming here for some time since it was renovated a few years ago. Had to wait for the right occasion and good weather since most seating is outside. Having not been there earlier, we can't comment on the reviews complaining about recent menu changes, but we were pleased with our Caesar salad, strawberry salad, herb-roasted chicken with mashed potatoes, and salmon with jalapeño rice cake. The salmon was perfectly prepared--lightly crisped on the outside, moist and tender inside in a slightly sweet beurre blanc sauce. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the quality of food left us satisfied without dessert. Our wines were both good as well. Service could have been just a little more attentive and there was a minor error in one order, but the server was friendly and knowledgeable. We would come again for another special occasion.

We were staying in Visalia for a trip to Sequoia, Kings and Yosemite. We had dinner at Elderwood and it was a lovely experience. We at out on the rooftop dining area. The drinks, while very pricy, were definitely delicious. My husband got the old fashion and it was $28 second drink get got a house special which was $17 and he said just as delicious. The food was fabulous. I had the shrimp scampi linguini and my husband had the flank steak. The portions were generous and the flavors divine. I highly recommend.

A little sad about this place because it used to be a favorite destination of mine in the Central Valley, but since the last menu change around March 2025, I am not as big of a fan as before. They took away one of my favorite things which is the bread (used to be complementary), and the replacement brioche roll is mediocre at best. The brioche at Whole Foods tastes better than that tbh. At least they kept the honey butter which is outstanding. The new burrata dish isn't super great either. Pork belly was just okay. I swear everything used to be so much better in the previous menus. Of course, they raised the price by quite a bit as well in the new menu. For the new menu, I'd probably give it a 3.5 star since the service is still very good and the view doesn't change. But I'm not excited about the food anymore. Sad.

Such a cool spot in Visalia! It's located inside the Darling Hotel, and when I walked in, the concierge got the door for me! The hotel smells super yummy, and it's got great art deco vibes!! I didn't snap any pics of the hotel lobby or even of the restaurant, but I did of the elevator (lol!) and the food! The bar/restaurant is on the top floor, and I sat outside (it was 85 degrees) at the rooftop bar. Great views of DT! I got the shishito peppers, which were awesome! They have a slight sweetness to them from drizzled agave, and are served with a charred lemon, sea salt and micro greens. For my main, I got the salmon, but I subbed the rice cake out for veges. It's served with a really yummy white sauce (honey lemon beurre blanc) and cilantro oil (I couldn't really taste the cilantro oil). And then sprinkled with more micro greens! This dish was also great!! I didn't have any room for dessert, so hoping next time I will! Service was pretty good!

Angel & Jacob at the bar provided wonderful service! The mood is quiet and art deco, the food was ample and tasty!

This place is the bee's knees. What a fabulous find in downtown Visalia! I was led here in two ways: a conference at the nearby Convention Center and a PBS special highlighting Visalia. Once I learned of the Darling Hotel and its rooftop restaurant, Elderwood ~ just a few blocks from where my conference would take place ~ I knew I had to give them a go. So glad I did. Super classy, upscale Art Deco inspired bar area on the top floor of the wholly renovated Darling Hotel. Got to enjoy an early breakfast here on my first morning. Rooftop dining areas with views for days. Open air but cozy with gas fire pits and overhead heaters, which made an early February dinner more than comfortable ~ even though the ambient temp was so chilly that I actually saw my breath at one point! Breakfast was delicious. Brilliant combo of perfectly poached eggs Benedict served with asparagus, hollandaise pulling it all together. Great simple drip coffee. Fabulous, friendly and swift service. The next evening, I enjoyed a delightful sunset dinner from the rooftop patio. More great service. Opted for the orange burrata and gnocchi. The former was an incredible melange of flavors beautifully presented. The only downside of both meals I enjoyed here was the gnocchi. I was anticipating soft pillows of goodness with small chunks of butternut squash and sage leaves but instead got firm, pan-fried gnocchi in a thick squash puree with little to no detectable sage. Still a fine dish (and certainly a generous portion), but this offering left a bit to be desired. All in all, I give Elderwood an enthusiastic 4.9 stars ~ let's round to 5. Would rush back in a heartbeat!

I had such an amazing time at the Elderwood, my favorite local spot for great food and an amazing craft cocktail when I'm visiting Visalia from the OC. The ambience is unmatched, super moody, fun, swanky. John & Eileen have extensive knowledge of their menu and are super creative so don't be afraid to ask them for some off menu suggestions!!

I was recommended this place and ended up not having a good experience. The first half of dining in was enjoyable. Our waiter was fantastic, but at the end, the manager, Robert in blue and short guy, came up to ask for a chair that was occupied and to tell us there was a reservation limit, even after ordering after the limit was uncalled for. In the end, we had a respectful conversation about miscommunication. However, as we were leaving, he didn't need to make a comment "when the liquor hits". It was very disrespectful on his part because we have already settled the miscommunication issue. I hope whoever is seeing this, need to acknowledge that he should have kept in his instead of pretending to understand and then make an output of pocket comment that doesn't help in any situation what so ever. having talked to the manager, Robert, the one in the blue and short guy,

I really like Elderwood. I have never had a bad experience at this place. When the weather is nice, the rooftop dining is great. The food amd service has never let me down.

Never disappoints!! Everything here is dialed in and on point. From the mixed cocktail drinks to the appetizers and food. Service is always top-tier and Daisy was a charm. This is place to go for intimate dining and drinks. Whether it's a date night or a night out with friends or family. This IS the only place to go for a guaranteed amazing time.

Pretty good food! The shrimp scampi was so well flavored and seasoned. They did mix up a dish from chicken to salmon but made up for it by not charging for it, so very excellent service too. If you want something more upscale in Visalia, this is the place to come. Close to a city lot for free 2 hour parking and located on the 4th floor.

Bartender was nice, drinks were amazing. The cocktails I tried were high-end. Elegant atmosphere at the unique bar. Cozy vibe on the rooftop patio. Overall upscale experience. I'm so glad I got to experience it. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Food was not good. Way overpriced. Dirty plates on the way into the dinning room on the cart that the dishes were sitting on.

They are flexible and accommodating, our party was about 25 minutes late and they had no issues with that. Other places you'll lose your reservation, but they were very kind about it. It was five of us ladies celebrating my birthday early and my friend Sis's late bday. We actually got a dining room table, which worked out because it was pretty hot that day. I would love to sit on the patio once the weather becomes more temperate. The drinks were delicious- the original mimosa with fresh squeeze orange juice was great. I sampled the pineapple one that my friends got, also delicious. I decided to try their espresso martini, and it definitely stands out from a lot of others- there is a very distinct coffee taste to it and you can't really detect the alcohol. It was just delicious and balanced. The food portions are not humongous however, it's enough food to fill you up, I got the crabcake Benedict, which was very fresh and tasty. Everyone else enjoyed their dishes as well. They brought us complementary cupcakes with a candle and service overall was just really good. I look forward to coming back again.

The view at sunset is beautiful. The orange burrata was delicious. Shrimp scampi was one of the best I have had! All the staff is very helpful and friendly.

Decided to make the drive and try this place for brunch. The restaurant itself is located upstairs from the main lobby of the hotel. I sat inside just because it was a bit cold during my visit. The service was attentive and friendly. The matcha drink was my favorite. The espresso martini was also better than most I've tried. The steak chilaquiles plate was a good size and the chips were crunchy. I ordered a side of potatoes to go with my crab cake Benedict. The serving was a little smaller than I anticipated. The potatoes were seasoned well and cooked perfectly. I would definitely love to come back for dinner when the weather is warmer.

Nice service. Nice food. Very good. No complains. Very subtle nice environment very friendly always asking if we need anything

First visit for Brunch on a Friday morning, nice rooftop restaurant and lounge with patio or inside dining. High top tables with a great view while sipping on coffee. Menu: I liked their eggs Benedict with smoked ham and asparagus, but poached egg was a lil over cooked. French toast nice crispy cornflakes crust with berries and whipped cream, croissant breakfast Sandwich and a side bowl of fruit. Service was great! Weather was nice with a cool breeze around 10am

This cozy rooftop restaurant located on the roof of The Darling hotel is lovely for a date night or celebration. The food is good and they have a cocktail menu larger than the food menu and decent wines if you want to pop in for drinks. The service is impeccable and they will add a little extra special birthday message to your dessert. The steaks are cooked well and the cut tender. Any sides are extra. Reminds me a bit of Vegas prices especially if you get the steak and add a side. The salmon is plated beautifully and the beurre blanc is creamy and tangy and the definite hero of the plate. The jalapeño rice cake could have used more seasoning and the salmon seared just a bit more but overall a great fish dish. The chicken is plated atop mashed potatoes with Marsala sauce and was more delicious than its plate presentation. Hands down you have to try the pork belly bites. Best appetizer on the menu. Cooked to perfection and really gets your taste buds going. Elderwood is a lovely dining experience whether you're in for a few drinks and an appetizer or staying for a meal.

This place is a Gem. Great food and a great place for a date night. The ambiance is really upscale. The service was great and on point and just an overall great experience. A must go to.

Came from Fresno to come here to celebrate two of our Yelp friend's birthday. Elderwood is located at the very top of The Darling Hotel. The outside of this building is gorgeous. It really stands out with the white and black. The lobby once you walk to the second floor is very cute as well. It's giving an old lux feel. We got seated in a semi rounded booth and were greeted by our waiter soon after. I got the South Fork Mimosa that was so good. I was recommended by the waiter to try the Eggs Benedict Crab Cake and I am so happy he did. Loved a good Benedict. My egg was nice and oozy, the crab cake was yummy, and the side of asparagus was delicious. The presentation of it all was beautiful as well, so vibrant in color. I couldn't wait to dig in. It was quite filling, I was stuffed after. I got to try my friend's espresso martini and it was soooOO so good! She said it was one of the best one she ever tried. I totally recommend trying this if you like coffee! They have a beautiful outdoor patio that you access both side on the roof. Plenty of seating outdoors and it's nicely shaded! The view is quite amazing as well! Thank you Robert who took the group photo of us and being a good sport! He was so nice. I had a great experience and would definitely come back.

For our bdays, fellow Yelper, Lila and I went to have brunch at Elderwood with fellow yelper, Sally, Danays and her friend, Blanca. I originally made reservations for 1215, but my Google maps took me to the city of Elderwood from Fresno, which I found out is what the restaurant is named after so Robert was nice enough to let us change it to 1245 instead since we got lost. Once we arrived everyone was extremely nice. The restaurant is all the way on the roof. It is one of the prettier and fancier hotels in the valley. It's very art deco meets modern meets Great Gatsby. Our server Renee was extremely nice and brought us cupcakes. I was going back and forth for 4 and 5 stars, but I'll round up. The south fork mimosa (guava and pineapple mimosa was so refreshing). Their orange juice is fresh squeezed. The reason why I almost left off a star is because their echo cove French toast looked nothing like their other photos. I barely had any berries on my French toast and didn't see any cornflakes. However, the crunch on it was so delicious, I wonder if they changed the recipe to coating the toast with the corn flakes, but it would have been nice to have what was consistent in other photos. All of my friends enjoyed their hash, chilaqules and egg benedicts. Overall, I'm glad I made it out here, but hope they can get that French toast sitch situated. As much as I don't want to notice these things, I do.....but they comped us each a birthday cupcake. The peanut butter chocolate one was good!

Gf & I went on weekend getaway from LA and we decided to come here. Ordered the Shrimp Scampi & my gf ordered the Grilled Chicken and it was nothing short of ... excellent! She also ordered the "Rumor Has It" and that was really good too! Also worth mentioning, the Brioche and butter! That would be delicious with some coffee in the morning. Waitress was pleasant and attentive. Frequently checked in on us and asked if we were celebrating anything or needed any special requests. Patio was very nice and had a good chill vibe. Perfect for those couples who want to have an intimate dinner and can hear each other speak. My reason for 4 stars is that the high chairs and table are uncomfortable. The table kept moving when we tried cutting into the chicken. Other than that, it's a great place for dinner. We'd come back again when in town :)

I have been here twice for brunch, but this was our first time going for dinner. It was an amazing meal!!! We started with drinks. I had The Darling and my husband had the All Falls Down. Both were delicious, light and slightly sweet. For an appetizer we had the Roasted Beet Rosettes, which was insanely delicious! I would go back just for this dish! For our entree I had the Seared Scallops and my husband had the Beef Wellington which were both delicious and flavorful. We sat on the patio, which I was worried would be cold since it was in November, but they had plenty of heaters and it was very enjoyable. Our service was also fantastic, and since we were there for my husband's birthday, we got a free creme brûlée which was one of the best creme brûlées I've ever had!

I would say this place is pretty good !! If u were to go, try to eat on the patio, it's so much better and nice on the rooftop. I think the view of it was much better than the food. Tbh the food was okay, it was anything crazy where I would go for the food again. Maybe would just go for the view and some drinks, bc the drink we got was called "the grass is greener" which was really good. So I'd probably just go to try more of drinks. For the price the food was not really worth it, but the atmosphere and aesthetic was super cute !! Even if u eat inside, inside the restaurant was pretty but I say eat outside. I'd rate this place a solid 7.5/10. Also the service was great, the lady who was our waitress was very kind. So the service there is pretty good.

Came here for a second time but for brunch this time (last time was dinner). We made a reservation for the patio at 9:30 am and the waiter lit a fire place for us outside since it was a surprisingly cold morning. I got the pork belly burrito with a side of sweet potato fries and a vanilla latte. The views were immaculate for breakfast and the pork belly burrito was incredibly savory with delicious chunks of crispy pork belly inside. I quite liked the avocado sauce given on the side as well. I definitely prefer more crunchier sweet potatoes fried as opposed to the mushier kind that was served here but liked the herb seasoning that was sprinkled on top of these fries. We did wait for about 30 minutes for our food and the waiter forgot to put one of the orders in so they graciously covered that charge for us. Overall had a good experience but will say that the dinner menu is far more impressive vs the brunch menu. I would give it a 3.5 for the brunch. (Pls keep in mind I am not a drinker so this review is based only off of the food! There was an extensive brunch drink menu including mimosa deals for anyone interested!!)

First, the remodeled hotel is very nice. Truly, Art Deco themed. The front desk concierge gave us a tour of two of their nicest King suites. Beautiful rooms. Now for the restaurant, food was great to meh. We ordered Chilaquiles with steak, Chicken Sandwich, Eggs Benedict w/Crab Cakes, Pork Belly Burrito. Chilaquiles were crispy, flavorful, cheesy and the steak was thinly sliced. Chicken Sandwich was crunchy and your typical sandwich. They had no pork belly, so that sucked. If you read the Yelp posts, their pork belly is one of their top items. Nevertheless, they subbed chicken instead....Meh. The Eggs Benedict were delicious, but the crab cake was soggy and lacked flavor and crab. Looked like a piece of flat stuffing. Not a crab cake at all. They are definitely on top of the list for their mixed drinks. You can have their listed drinks or experiment. I experienced different flavored martinis with a grapefruit base. Super freaking delicious. Friend with me had the chocolate martini and this was a thumbs up. Other standard mixed drinks were delicious. We sat in patio. Very nice day today. Crowd is a bit young 22-32. Kinda of a dress to impress place to see who is there (outside in patio). Inside is more family oriented. Lighting inside was dark. Worth a visit for drinks!

Took the family to celebrate our anniversary. Sadly, the menu has changed, food presentation and maybe the chefs. Ordered a steak with fries for my son & the steak was cut in half and placed on top of fries. Was not appetizing. I ordered a shrimp pasta dish & unfortunately it was drenched with sauce and fishy. I ended up getting sick from my meal. A bout of food poisoning. The server & manager were very kind and did notice something was wrong. The manager professionally made it right. The customer service & ambience was great. Hope the menu changes again.

The ambience of this restaurant is beautiful. My husband and I came on a Saturday night--it was really easy to get a reservation with the Resy app. We had the spicy shrimp for an appetizer and it was really tasty. My husband ordered the New York steak with mashed potatoes and let me just say it's easily one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. I ordered the chicken with fingerling potatoes and that was delicious too. We also ordered pumpkin cheesecake for dessert and it was the perfect ending to our meal. Parking is across the street from the hotel that the restaurant is on top of. I'd highly recommend this place! Our server didn't check in with us as much as we liked but otherwise, top notch!

Great service amazing food with a nice view. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion

Elderwood is a very cute restaurant in the town! I tried a few items for dinner and really enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and hierloom tomato burrata. These choices were light and refreshing!

Bad greeting from the front of the house. Overpriced drinks waitresses not sure what's available. Then a fifteen minute wait. (We left before being served.) Yeah we get it's a full house on a Friday night. Maybe a better manager would improve the experience to make up for the overpriced menu(?) and terrible greeting. And we're guests!!!

Is it just me, or does the bar have a certain Overlook Hotel vibe in all the best Kubrick kinda way? Head off to left or right as you enter, hopefully to your table reservation after a drink, and you'll be greeted by a beautiful space overlooking the city. Realize you've hit romantic pay dirt if you are here with your main squeeze. Food was priced well for what I chewed, and although I did not sample the Beef Wellington, my eyes dined on the view of several plates of the dish that looked killer. Me? That steak with the onion salsa was calling. Is that some nopales too... maybe? And do enjoy that red wine reduction.

Lovely ambiance with delicious food & the atmosphere is uniquely different than the rest of the city. Reminds me of San Diego dinning

Amazing location to see downtown Visalia from a whole new perspective. Service is great. Food is Meh at a premium price. It's evident there's not a lot of care or love going into the preparation.

We enjoyed our mimosas and brunch here. Not too much to complain about as far as quality of food and drinks. The rooftop setting is really enjoyable and would love to try out their sunset dinners someday. A few things to consider: -You may have to wait an additional 15-20 minutes even with a reservation. -the elevator to the restaurant may not always be possible as it is an historic building and tends to take more care to fix. With that in mind, the only other way to get to the roof is by taking the stairs. Not easily accessible for everyone.

We stayed at the hotel for a day on our way to SEKI national parks and therefore decided to eat at the attached restaurant. We had the potato croquettes, Brussel sprouts and the Paneer Entree . The food was very very good and so was the ambience . However service was a little slow and we had to flag our wait staff more than a few times .

Pretty good experience overall. Rooftop was clean and they had heaters for us. Food was good. I'm a hard judge for food because if I'm paying $48 for a steak without all the fixings, it better blow me away. Unfortunately it lacked seasoning. I will say the side of brussel sprouts were 10/10 and the pumpkin cheesecake 10/10. Good service but gratuity is 6+ people so watch out for that....

We went to Elderwood in hopes of an appetizer and a drink. Unfortunately, they do not serve food between lunch and dinner service. Olives don't count folks. My friend ordered an All Falls Down, which she loved. It was a happy hour cocktail so we paid $10. I wish they had a better wine selection. I got the Jax Y3 Pinot Noir. It was ok, but not worth $17. Every employee we encountered from reception, to staff in the hallway, to the bartender were nice and friendly.

Sitting outside was beautiful! The food was delicious! The drinks not so great. Not a variety which was disappointing. I would recommend this place. I'm going to try it again soon.

Wonderfully unexpected night in Visalia. We came into town to visit Sequoia for the kiddos birthday and decided somewhat last minute to grab a nice dinner. After a quick search we came across @Elderwood and were quite happy we did. We were seated at a large table by the bar which worked out well as we were traveling with a 5 year old who can be a bit noisy at times. We were promptly greeted by our waitress for drinks and she was extra attentive to my kiddo which was awesome. Got the pork belly and the burrata appetizer and both were delicious but the pork was a favorite for sure, so good! For mains we opted for steak and fish and both very super tasty. The steak was a perfect medium rare, exactly as it should be. Finished those off and were surprised with a delicious slice of carrot cake complete with a candle for the birthday girl. If in the area definitely recommend.
