We went to Elements for our anniversary dinner on Saturday night. It was later in the evening when we arrived so there were not many tables in the restaurant. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Our server Jesslin was wonderful and very knowledgable about all the items on the menu and was able to answer any questions that we... More

If you enjoy friendly, yet unobtrusive service; extraordinary food and an extensive wine list; a tab that will seem not only reasonable, but low given the quality--then visit this superb restaurant in the Westin hotel. The bread is warm, freshly made, and infused with rosemary. The appetizer menu is varied and includes soup, salad, and fish cakes (which I hear... More

I read the reviews about this place and seen that it had high regards so I thought I would take my wife out to dinner for her birthday with our three kids (17, 19 & 20). The place was nearly empty when we arrived so I was nervous of a bad choice. Not a good sign if nobody else is... More

A great meal!! The mushroom tart was one of the five best appetizers I've ever eaten! Just extraordinary! Beautiful presentation of every dish! Great lobster and tenderloin. Co-located with the Westin hotel... and I normally shun hotel restaurants... but this one was excellent.

On the second evening of a two city spring vacation, we entered the newly redecorated,to us, dining room. It had been a few years since we dined at the current Elements; we live five hours away by car. The friendly hostess offered us the padded seats by the window that looked so cosy for two. However, I should have remembered... More

Not your typical hotel restaurant. My Seafood Stew was full of large pieces of lobster, salmon and white fish with scallops, mussels, carrots and parsnips sitting in just the right amount of mildly spicy sauce. My husband's generous portion of haddock was also perfect. The menu is varied and interesting. Where the locally sourced food originates is listed, and the... More

The restaurant was fully booked, due to the comedy club down the hall, so service was casual and inattentive. The food is solid, but not mind blowing, but the chef does promote local products and they had a great local wine campaign. (The wine was excellent, by the way.) We were mildly disappointed, as we were expecting a five star... More
