Elements RestaurantOne fabulous restaurantMy wife and I had another spectacular meal at Elements. Everything about Elements, the sauces, the flavors, the presentation, the service etc is innovative and first rate. This is clearly one of the finest restaurants in the New York/New Jersey area.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMA truly amazing experienceA truly amazing experience for foodies. EXCELLENT in every way. The food was ridiculously good. The taste was fabulous, the staff was engaging and knowledgable. Everything about the evening was magical. You can surely tell the chef puts his heart and soul into his art creations. The use of seasonal local ingredient was appreciated. I love reading that the chicken I am eating is from my neighborhood farm. Every dish a masterpiece.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMa higher dimension in haute cuisinewho'd think that just outside Princeton New Jersey there's a world class restaurant?

It's expensive, but you definitely get what you paid for. Well worth it.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMChefs tasting menu was exceptionalChefs tasting menu was exceptional in every way...4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMScenic and great atmosphereThe scenic drive towards Princeton University made this a destination restaurant for me and my client. We enjoyed the impeccable very attentive service that you only get at the finest restaurants. The wait staff worked in teams with those not busy running food and drinks standing at attention scanning the room to ensure that each dinning guest had everything they needed. The menu was appealing to our small, but varied tastes group. The wine list by the glass was interesting, yet not over priced. The front podium staff was very friendly when we arrived and thanked us for coming as we departed. They gave us a small parting gift with recipes from celebrity chefs that are planning to rotate in.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMOur party of four selectedOur party of four selected the four course tasting menu and it was delicious. The service was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. The noise level in the main downstairs dining room was loud and was my only complaint...it was hard to hear each other and we weren't even sitting in the middle of the room. Overall it was a wonderful evening.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMWent here for my 40th birthday.Went here for my 40th birthday. We had the 4 course menu with wine pairing. It was fabulous! Food was delicious and service was great!4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMBy far the best food I haveBy far the best food I have found in or anywhere near Princeton, and our recent meal there would have been rave-worthy even in a major city. Really interesting menu for both food and drink, appears to change frequently based on seasonal availability of ingredients. The staff was attentive and informed about the food and wine. The decor is simple and the tables are well spaced, with less ambient noise than might be expected from the lack of carpet and liberal use of stone and metal. The location is a bit odd, along Route 206 leaving town, among the strip malls and gas stations. Really can't walk there from hotels downtown or the college unfortunately.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat ambience, wonderfulGreat ambience, wonderful unique dishes with combinations of flavors which left my mouth popping for hours!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had dinner at ElementsWe had dinner at Elements on April 6th 2013.

Our thanks to a chef who really knows and loves food.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AM- The Duroc Pork was good,- The Duroc Pork was good, but not particularly memorable.
- The Black Cod was delicious. Flaky and springy without being too salty.
- The 48 Hour Short Rib. Wow. It's a must try. It was sadly served warm rather than piping hot, but I've never had beef as tender as this. I would go back just for this entree.
- Multiple varieties of free bread, all tasty.
- The restaurant included a bunch of freebies that weren't expected, including a potato and apple soup, a dessert platter, as well as a nice two-bite pound cake for the ride home.
- The service was exceptional. Each and every waiter was polite, informative, and rarely kept you waiting for anything.
I would definitely come back here again.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMEverything was wonderful untilEverything was wonderful until the bill arrived. We were a party of four. We did not order the tasting menu, but we're charged for it. I am less inclined to think it was an error because we were correctly charged corkage fees for two bottles. When we pointed out the problem, it was corrected immediately, but it should not have happened.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent experienceAs always, Elements provided a really great experience with awesome food and excellent service.
