I celebrated my 22nd (Taylor's Version) birthday here, and I was beyond happy that I chose to! I was treated very warmly by the entire working team, and I was overwhelmed with so much happiness! Our food (Cacio E Pepe, Prawn Saffron Spaghettini, Kick' N Fried Chicken Sandwich alongside the Prosciutto & Arugula Pizza) came out in a reasonable time, and was ecstatically brought a tiramisu as well! The team treated me with such appreciated warmth, and I really enjoyed the time I had!

Best food that I have had in Vancouver during this visit. I had the beef tenderloin and it was fantastic. Service was great. Ambience: noise level a little high. Background music should be lowered.

So good, I went twice in a week! If you are looking to eat, go anywhere, but if you are looking for a true food experience, ELEM is it. Upon entering the restuarant, the vibes, the sounds, the different rooms, the food, the drinks..represent the concept, all the elements! Yes, it may be pricey, but if you want creative cocktails, well thought out food, and hospitality and service that understand and combine all the elements for a food experience that you can't find else where, ELEM is it!
