We really enjoyed our evening at ELEM and enjoyed the surprise of each dish (we let them cook for us). Rarely have I had the Chef visit my table and never have I enjoyed the pleasure of having the Chef serve each dish at our table. His passion for each prepared dish was clear including his signature dishes. The service was outstanding as were the zero proof cocktails - really fun and tasty. Highly recommend ELEM for an evening out!
