I have been to Elements several times over the years and have always enjoyed the food and dining experience...until last night.
I made clear in my reservation that the dinner was for a special occasion and requested a window table. We walked in right behind a group of three who announced, upon entering, that they didn't have a reservation. I saw them walked to a lovely table with a view in the main dining area. Our party of three, who did have a reservation, was walked to a back room (that I have only been in for corporate events), that was isolated from the main area and were seated at a table in the middle of the room, even though there was a window table available. We were moved to the window, after I mentioned that I had requested one in the reservation I made, but we were seated next to a large group who were extremely loud and overbearing. So our first impression was definitely negative.
We then looked at the menu and none of us could find anything that looked the least bit appealing - the menu had changed considerably, and not for the better, since my last visit. If you don't like cucumbers, persimmons or black olives as an accompaniment with most entrees, you're out of luck. One of us just ordered French Onion soup and I ordered sushi, which I had no intention of doing, but couldn't find anything else of interest.
We felt like after-thoughts from the start and the situation wasn't redeemed by the meal. It was very disappointing all the way around and the whole experience put a damper on what was supposed to have been a special evening.
