    Delightful surprise on beautiful Rose St. Comfy neighborhood pub feel with fantastic upscale food at very reasonable prices. Had a group of 7 in a cozy booth for drinks, apps, and mains. Everything was superb. Sea bass was a standout - super fresh with lovely pea shoots on top and a beurre blanc-type sauce on the side. We will certainly return.

    The pub/restaurant didn’t look like much from the outside, but inside was beautifully decorated, the food was delicious and the staff were fantastic. It certainly exceeded expectations.

    Always a good dining experience in the Element, this time with wholesome breakfast choices - one full Scottish and one full veggie option! Never fails to provide a nice atmosphere with very professional and friendly service.

    Food is very average, steak pie is nice but veg wit it were terrible and need to rethink presentation nearly ate a serviette that was under the pie. Dessert terrible fruit crumble it was a mess again they are using a metal container it doesn't work. Our bottle of beer was warm and we had the worst seats 2 high stools where you feel like you are falling off.
