Elwood serves family-style entrees rooted in heirloom recipes and Pennsylvania's culinary history, the work of Chef Adam Diltz, who built the menu around his own country upbringing. The room is meant to evoke a countryside holiday table rather than a standard dinner service, and the restaurant operates BYOB.
The menu changes with the seasons and has featured rabbit and house-made pickles, reflecting a focus on Pennsylvania ingredients and older regional technique. On weekends, Elwood also runs a tea service that takes the traditional English format and filters it through Pennsylvania Dutch countryside style.
Diltz was named a James Beard Foundation Best Chef semifinalist in 2022, and the restaurant has built a local reputation for personal, chef-driven hospitality.
