    The vibe is awesome! Romantic or trendy/vibe spot w/ friends. The food was excellent and the drinks were good too. The service was not that excellent, but giving some latitude since it was valentine's weekend and seemed to be understaffed. They gave us water glasses but did not give any water until we asked 20 mins later. They forgot one of our appetizers. We had to ask to place an order, as it was difficult to get anyone to return. The server was very nice, informative, and friendly, just seemed unable to be attentive. Will still return.

    This is my second time going to Krill. The restaurant is everything. I love the ambiance and cozy feel. The food is absolutely amazing. There was a new menu which was just as good as the first one. Will definitely be back again.

    The Valentine's Tasting Menu Dinner was fabulous. Salmon and tuna tartare , followed by shrimp and scallop dumplings, followed by Salmon Wellington and ending with Chocolate cheesecake was absolutely delicious and so well presented. A nice Chardonnay was a great complement. Elements is always a special place to eat and this dinner showed off their expertise. We will be back.
