My experience dining at Elements was better then expected. Steaks cooked perfect, the sides and sauces were amazing. And I was very impressed with our waiter she was familiar with the menu and made us aware of the ingredients. The place has a calm cool vibe with a touch of elegance experience. I would dine at this place again and i will try new things on the menu because i think they have a great selection.
