About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Charming
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!

        While the menu and food was top notch, there were a few service blips that made the experience less than desirable. I was called the day before to confirm and asked about a special occasion. The person on the phone asked for our names so they could provide us with a a celebratory card. While at the restaurant, our server offered to wrap up our bread and then we never received it. Upon leaving, I also noticed we never received the card either. While these are just minor things, it still does not align with a chefs tasting menu and a $600 bill. The expectation is to have top notch service. As for the food, it would be nice to offer a 10 course menu as the chef tasting was A LOT and some dishes were not impressive (smoked brassicas, Kanpachi, radish)

        Absolutely the best fine dining experience in the Princeton area. The courses are artfully plated and each taste elicits a sigh of delight. The staff describes each dish which typically includes at least four distinct taste sensations—they are knowledgeable and happy to share.

        Food was salty. Ambience and service not worth high price charged.

        Great experience. Food is excellent. Definitely pay for the quality, but we feel it is worth it for special occasions or if one can afford.

        The sashimi special menu, now offered with the flexibility of ala carte, is fantastic. We sampled 7 different dishes and were impressed with all 7. Flavors were pronounced as each type of seafood is accompanied by the imaginative use of vegetables, spices and sauces.
