Tonight, Tuna Tostada.

Our special small plate for the evening features beautiful housemade corn tortillas from Pollo Molino - finished with bluefin tuna, avocado, chicatana mayo, cilantro, and salsa seca.

Fifteen bucks, until we run out!

Tonight only: Hamachi Carpaccio, $17

curry oil / puffed rice/ dashi pickled shallots / coconut / ramp oil / black lime / cilantro

Welcome, Spring!

Drop in this week for The Elm’s newest seasonal menu, celebrating all things green and growing. With favorites from past menus making a welcome return (hello, Ora King salmon!) or new plates earning their spot at the table (spinach-artichoke stuffed pasta, anyone?), there’s something for everybody.

A favorite on our current dinner menu, the Rabbit Pot Pie is a perfect bridge from windy winter days into early spring evenings.

Comfort food at its finest, this is as hearty and savory as it looks - brined rabbit, aromatic roux, and a side of potato puree and gravy. A flavor bomb, and one we're sure you'll love!

Drop in for yours, tonight - only at The Elm.

Welcome, brunch!

This Sunday marks The Elm's entry into Bloomington's lively brunch community, and we couldn't be more excited. We've attached menus, but expect updates and pricing to follow as we get closer to opening.

We are steering The Elm's Sunday Brunch into new territory, with accessible brunch favorites the name of the game. Join us for Chicken & Waffles, a gluten free/vegetarian Breakfast Bowl, and Chef Dan's famous Smash Burger - and many more options.

The Elm will seat all Sunday Brunch guests on a first come, first served basis - no reservations! We're thrilled to see you this weekend for the first steps in an exciting new direction - doors open this Sunday at 9:00 am!

Our hours are changing!

As you visit The Elm this week and beyond, you'll notice two big changes to our hours of operation:

1. We're OPEN for Sunday Brunch! More info will follow in this space, but we're thrilled to announce a new time and day to enjoy The Elm - celebrate the weekend beginning this Sunday morning.

2. We are no longer publicly open on Tuesdays, for either Dinner or Coffeehouse service. Keep an eye on Elm Tuesdays for special events monthly, including themed dinners, tasting menus, and beverage collaborations. Additionally, private events may still be booked on Tuesdays - inquire for more information.

Finally, after hearing from our Elm Heights neighbors, Elm Coffeehouse hours will now extend to Saturday mornings - come enjoy walk-up service from our barista team with seasonal lattes, Elm baked goods, and plenty of space to study or socialize.

01/29/2026

Limited seats remain for The Elm’s special Valentine’s Day dinner service! Don’t get left out in the cold - book today.

Join us for Bloomington’s most romantic Valentine’s meal - a seven course stunner with optional beverage pairings, takeaway chocolate truffles, and a live jazz trio. Ticketed reservations are available on Resy, and must be purchased in advance.

$210/guest, inclusive of service fees. Tax is not included. An optional beverage pairings menu is available to add at checkout, and an a la carte beverage list will be available night of.

Winter's carpaccio is a stunning plate, a blend of unexpected warmth from smoky house hummus and toasted pistachio with the snappy bite of watermelon radish.

A callback to our very first menu, this small plate has been a fast favorite this season - try yours, tonight, only at The Elm!
