    Bill our server was great. My wife’s dinner was great. My steak was very tough. Bill did exchange my steak for the filet but that did not have a great deal of taste.

    I’ve enjoyed Elements for years and always left extremely satisfied. Tonight, they missed the mark. Table service was poor. Food delivered without serving utensils. Drinks were sent back and changed to something they couldn’t screw up. I was even compelled to ask what something was on my plate as it wasn’t what was expected. On a side note, the menu was changed and small bites were weaved into main categories so we were unsure what as an appetizer or not. Something has changed. Hope they figure it out. Do better!!

    Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet the high standards you’ve come to expect from Elements. Service missteps, execution issues, and menu confusion are not the experience we want for our guests. Your input is invaluable, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back. Sincerely, Matt Hobbs Executive Chef

    Elements remains our favorite special occasion place. The ambience has exceptional with mountain views inside or out. The duck special tonight was outstanding. The wait staff is very attentive. Overall this is a quality experience and worth the price. We will certainly return.
