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!

Went for my son’s birthday. The food was very ok for the price. Nothing special at all. Ordered for one vegetarian and two non vegetarian experiences. None of the dishes tasted exquisite. Considering what we paid for the experience we were expecting far better tasting food. We did not finish our food in some of the 5 course meals but were never asked whether we liked it or not. Surprising ..!

We had a very nice experience at Elements. Our server’s, Sam and Caroline were outstanding. They presented our five course tasting menu with detailed descriptions. The food was exceptional, fresh and delicious. Ambiance was pleasant, and we could see into the kitchen from our table. Elements was pricey, but certainly worth a special occasion dining experience. We would definitely be back.
