    It was a great meal but I think due to the number of reservations, there wasn’t a lot of time left between courses so we felt a little rushed, and the food didn’t have a chance to settle.

    Beautiful location. Solid service. Good drinks. But sadly, the food was just blah. We weren’t blown away by a single dish. And for a place like Elements, I expect to be wowed by at least one thing on the menu. A cloyingly sweet macaron with old bay seasoning (epic fail) for amuse set the tone for a bevy of alarmingly average dishes. An undercooked salmon filet, gummy polenta with the steak, a good-looking lemon curd dessert that had a single note… sweet. Large food portions, but sadly, everything landed with a thud. I hope to return some day, but might be inclined to stick to just the drinks.

At Elements, we take pride in delivering a top-tier dining experience. Your comments about the macaron, salmon, and overall quality of the dishes will be addressed within the team. We hope you’ll consider returning in the future. Sincerely, Matt Hobbs Executive Chef

    The food experience was outstanding. The set menu was perfect and the resulting choices were nicely prepared. However for the cost and sophistication of the atmosphere I expected the servers to be aligned with a five star menu. Nice folks but much too casual. I expected much more professional attendant engagement that regularly checked in on our experience vs take the order, deliver the order and than give the bill.

    We celebrated our 32nd Wedding anniversary, and as usual, the experience at Elements was outstanding. Our server was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful without being intrusive. The ambiance and surroundings are superb. Our starters and entrees were exceptional, and the chef's anniversary dessert was out of this world. Overall, a 5-Star experience. My only complaint- and this is about almost every restaurant we've patronized lately- was the inappropriate music selection--much too contemporary and improper for a fine dining experience. Please use simple background jazz at a lower volume. Your guests will appreciate it!
