- AAnniversaryvipPhiladelphia / New Jersey Suburbs •10 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoVery impressed that they paid attention to the fact that I booked this reservation for an anniversary. Our table was in a quiet section of the restaurant, there was a celebration sign on, and our waiter, Ken acknowledged our anniversary when he introduced himself, and they gave us two glasses of champagne for a toast. The food was wonderful as always, we had a great time!More infoSeasons 52 - Princeton$$$$• American• Princeton•4.7
- DdennisthefoodieSan Francisco Bay Area •6 reviews5.0Dined on May 25, 2023We opted to celebrate our 6-year wedding anniversary at Elements in Princeton, and were incredibly amazed and satisfied with the journey that the culinary team and staff took us on. For starters, Elements is located in the same building (uses same entryway) as Mistral. It took us a bit to figure that part out, but once we did the check-in was hassle free. Located on the second floor, the venue emanated with a speakeasy-vibe as you ascend into a totally different arena of what would have been the same restaurant. The entire staff was engaging from start to finish. Once seated, we were greeted at different times by an entourage of specialists. From utensil change outs to course presentation, the entire service was immaculate. A key highlight and note - the sommelier provided an experience in-itself with the wine pairing add-on. Our sommelier was very knowledgeable and passionate about the wines that were curated for the experience, providing rich details and history about each pairing. Additionally, our sommelier had a very enjoyable personality and attitude which added to our unique dining experience. It was a thrill to converse with the sommelier throughout. We opted for the 5-course tasting which turned out to be quite filling. Additionally, the prix fixed menu offered add-ons and "upgrades" at additional costs that serve to amplify the tasting. We were treated to the amazing courses that were rewarding both to the taste and visual senses. The plating and presentation of each course built upon each other until we arrived at the main course. As stated before, the add-on oysters prepared our taste buds for the ensuing fusion of the various flavors that were expertly crafted to give our appetites the fullest enjoyment. Accompanying each course were generous portions of the wine pairing that helped further bring out these flavors. It was a dining experience we would not forget. 10/10 would recommend to anyone seeking to make memories with loved ones.More infoElements Restaurant$$$$• American• Princeton•4.8
