    Our waiter was terrific- our booth wascomfortable and the food was delicious...The portions are generous and the quality was terrific. My friend and I shared a 16oz rib eye with au Poivre...DELICIOUS...the roast carrots and the brussels sprouts were great. My husband loved his vegan mushroom main course ( he is not Vegan!) we always enjoy dinner at Element!

    Service for an early Saturday dinner was excellent. Sat outside and observed the pre-setup for the Christmas parade. Description of food and portion size was spot-on. Margate, the fish OTD, was new to us Delicious. No need for starters with our entrees.

    I love Elements restaurant. My steak was so tender I could have cut it with a butter knife. The service was wonderful. The atmosphere is cozy. I like to sit in the main dining room where it is quieter than the side room.

    The service was quite slow. The waiter was nice. We were told the chef refuses to split items in the kitchen but would slice a steak for us. That was not even done. The food came out too salty, too over cooked for what was ordered and not hot.

    We experienced a Thanksgiving lunch for the first time. The service was outstanding! Every one of the staff members treated us so well. We chose to have the Thanksgiving menu. The Caesar salad was delicious. It was plentiful. We chose to not finish casual we knew what was coming. Good decision. The meal came with Turkey, gravy, stuffing, root vegetables, cranberries and mashed sweet potatoes with mini marshmallows! Yummy and plentiful! For dessert we had an apple cobbler, none that we ever had. It was a fabulous meal! We would recommend to our friends who come to Sarasota!

    We had a delicious meal outside. The ambiance inside is very nice too and would be a great place for a date night or special occasion. Our waitress was very pleasant and helpful. Some of the best steaks we have had in Sarasota. I had the filet and my husband had the ribeye. They were tender, juicy and cooked to perfection. The cream corn and twice baked potato were tasty and could have fed 4 people. . Unfortunately we were to full to try dessert. Will definitely dine here again.

    Our third time dining at element. They are over priced for the quality and service. We had a new waiter who tried hard but needed more experience. Example, I ordered a expensive bottle of wine which wasn’t opened and served until our meal was on the table. Cocktails were not up to the standards set at previous visits. Very disappointed overall after spending $800 for four.

    Excellent service is the key to this place. Attentive but not overbearing or interrupting. The food is very good, too, and the wine selection is broad and not too expensive (for this level of restaurant). E.G. A decent Bordeaux starts at $62. Yes, this is expensive - count on $200 minimum for a couple - but if you are looking for a special night out, the decor, staff, food and ambience justify the cost.

    The food was not worth the price, flavorless fish and steak. only 2-3 tables busy and the food was not hot when it came out either and I had to send my steak back to heat it up, not satisfactory at all. I do not recommend this place to anyone and I'm asked very often

    Great service and excellent waitress with Desiree! Prices are definitely higher than average on Main Street and are much higher than a year ago Menu is more skewed toward meat than it was a couple of years ago probably as the staff and ownership has changed Good wine list to complement the food Sommelier was very helpful

    We came for my sister's birthday. The restaurant did everything to make my sister feel special. The food was divine. Our waiter helped us choose a nice wine with dinner and it was heavenly. I have been to superior restaurants before but Elemental went above and beyond
