    It was our first time dining at ELEM for a birthday dinner, and we were given a tour of the restaurant as well as really attentive easy-going service. All the staff are really kind and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was - of course - AMAZING, and both the cocktails and the menu were highly creative and well-balanced in flavours. We loved our time at Elem! (Also, we were discussing how we were going to steal a bucket of their sauces from the kitchen because it tasted so good.) Thank you so much for a great time!

    My go to place for pasta! The spicy vodka rigatoni is a must and the carbonara for their unique pasta noodle. I usually don’t like tacos but their soft tacos were amazing! Our server Nick was super cute and friendly! Everything was perfect 😍
