Food was very good including the Brussels sprouts app on special and the grouper fish dip. Appreciated the gf accommodating side of cucumbers as well. Beet salad was very good as was the mashed sweet potatoes. Pork chop was nicely finished with a kohl rabi purée and the steak bites app was also a favorite . Nicely done

Started with happy hour at the bar, Trey was the BEST bartender and was SUPER busy but handling everyone promptly. Trey makes the best drinks! Seating for dinner was on time and we were waited on promptly. Wine selection was stellar, we both chose the traditional Thanksgiving diner. Very good and had so much food we brought home the leftovers for another full meal. Portions are really big at Element! Can't wait to go again next year, but I'm sure we will be back during the year for dinner a few times. Love their outside space on a warm evening! One thing to note, we have been going to Element for 4 years and there is VERY LITTLE turnover in staff. The staff is well trained, pleasant, hard working and they all pitch in to help wherever it is busy, including setting tables, bussing, filling water, helping at the bar, serving food. You are well pampered.

We started with a wedge salad which was great, I had the seared sea scallops and the husband had the black grouper and they were both fabulous!! The service was very lacking by our waitress but I’m chalking it up to the holiday. My mother always said not to go out to dinner on a holiday but I didn’t listen. We will go back to this restaurant because of the food but I’ll make sure not to have that waitress. Do give it a try for the food!
