About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Innovative
Great for fine wines

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!

Portions were generous but the quality of dishes were somewhat inconsistent. Example, some items were over salted and other items (potato/cheese item served with steak) just did not work. The wine was good but unfortunately, was too warm when served.

This is our second time coming to Elements to dine and the experience has not changed. We took our teenage son to eat with us for a second time coming here and he’s a harsh critic and a bit of a picky eater, but he loved the 15-course meal and he would like to come back Overall it was a great experience and this will be our favorite place to dine moving forward …❤️

Wonderful experience with their 15 Course Chef's Tasting Menu which was really about 20 courses. Absolutely exceptional and very reasonable for the quality and quantity you were served and gorgeous presentations. Very knowledgeable wait-staff, particularly about wine.
