   Service was knowledgeable and attentive--she knew the menu well, including the spice levels of the different dishes. The ambiance was calm and quiet, it was easy to hear conversation and just a peaceful, simple, classy setting. I feel silly raving about a cauliflower appetizer, but it was a delight! Perfect seasoning and flavor. I would have eaten three of them as my dinner. I had the chow fun noodles, which was again perfectly seasoned with a lovely rich chili oil. My partner had the mixed grill and it was also delicious. Lizzy took great care of us. We never felt rushed and she was happy to make recommendations. This was out first time at Elements and we will be back.

   Flounder was excellent. Service attentive but not hovering.

   Even though short-staffed this Friday night, our waiter was attentive and helpful with menu selections. The fish stew and flounder were delicious as were the small plates. Would definitely like to return.

   Elements has been our "go to" restaurant in Chapel Hill for many years. Inventive and delicious food, great service, nice ambience and moderate noise level. Last night was a 180 turn around! We were seated in a side dining room that had 2 extra large tables. Our party of 6 was much smaller than the others. I think the waiter was over worked: Thus, our drink orders took too much time. And then the drinks came out at different times. 2 in our party waited 10 minutes for their drinks to arrive after the other already had their drinks. The order for food was delayed too. The food was very good as usual. The ambience in the large room was much less warm when compared to the primary dining room I think Elements has expanded their dining room but under staffed the service and bar.

   Salmon Wellington was the highlight and the sushi was also good. It was Valentine's Day weekend and they were busy but they could improve on some details like the flower on the table was wilted and a spoon was not clean.

   The food at elements is always good. The wait staff is always friendly. When you go Valentine’s weekend I guess you have to expect it to be a bit noisy, but the tables have a good distance between them. It is on the expensive side, but I guess that’s to be expected.

    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.
