    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.
