    Love this restaurant but wish they could find a sound track that was mellower—no vocals, saxophone or pounding rhythms. Surely there is a background music that is just cool.

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and have always loved Elements. They absolutely made it the most incredible experience. They far exceeded every expectation we could have had.

And this is from two total foodies that visit Michelin restaurants the world over. Truly world class in all aspects. Thank you!!

    Rather disappointed in brunch today. The online menu is NOTHING like the physical menu. If it hadn’t felt awkward to leave with a drink order already placed, we would have left. The short ribs eggs Benedict was okay, very rich with a lot of butter and cheese in the polenta. Honestly, we have had better at mom and pop restaurants in the Valley. We did enjoy the view, but left underwhelmed.

    I judge a good restaurant by three things. 1. Ambiance 2. Food quality 3. Service Elements hit the mark on all three of these. We love the view from the main dining room and the service is always exceptional. The food was on point as well. Highly recommend!

    Elements is and has always been one of our favorite restaurants for a special dinner out, always for our anniversary and for dinner with special friends. Also for lunch with girlfriends or a happy hour in the bar. Our meal last night was wonderful as always. Two of us had the salmon, grilled to perfection with squash puree and Brussels sprouts and bacon. The guys had the ribeye, perfect as ordered. We also enjoyed jumbo shrimp cocktail and burrata appetizer and a couple of decadent desserts. However, the pork chop, which was fabulous, is greatly missed on the menu, the favorite for someone who doesn't want the limited steak options. Also the missing mac and cheese that was a favorite. The menu is now quite pared down from previous. That being said, it is still a great restaurant. Bring back some of the best selling favorites please.
