About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Innovative
Charming

Executive Chef Scott Anderson chose the name "elements" for the restaurant because he is passionate about sourcing fresh, local, organic ingredients and sustainably raised meats and seafood. He wants the very elements of your meal to play a major role in the taste of it. Then he and his team work to reveal the complementary flavor dimensions inherent in the elements by skillfully combining them—often in edgy new ways. Restaurant menus change constantly here, making this the dinner restaurant that is excitingly different every time you return.

If you're a foodie, you want to know where—and how--your food grew. It's fascinating, it's a good health practice and it provides extra pleasure from everyday experiences, like a meal with friends. elements is the American restaurant serving local steak and seafood, but with global influences in seasoning and cooking methods. A true culinary adventure!

Excellent experience at Elements last night. Chose to do the five-course tasting menu; each course was delicious. The Madai, the Wagyu, and the Tahitian vanilla ice cream were the favorites from the meal. Really appreciated the attention to detail and among the waitstaff; everything was choreographed perfectly. Being able to see the chefs hard at work was also a cool touch. Found the ambiance to be a little underwhelming though. Will definitely be back sooner rather than later!

The food and service were good, but I expected more from this place. They forgot about my wife's birthday, which I mentioned on my reservation and when our reservations were confirmed by phone. I don't think I will be coming back

If you like fine dining you have to visit Elements. We chose the five course meal with wine pairing. Every bite packed a flavorful punch. Service is pretty standard for most fine dining restaurants: sociable, informative, quick, highly efficient. We enjoyed the open kitchen concept. Wish we’d been seated nearer to it so we could watch the activity closely.
