Elements is a diamond in the rough! We stopped in for dinner and drinks last night thanks to Yelp! We needed a yummy place for dinner in an area of town that we weren't familiar with. Elements did not disappoint! It is located in a strip mall, and doesn't look like much from the exterior facade, but as soon as you open the front door you are greeted with nothing but class!
The services was phenomenal, the chef's wife (and owners I assume) walked the floor of the restaurant the entire time offering explanations of all of the dishes. Her passion for food was intoxicating, or may that was the martini menu that listed over 100 hand shaken specialty martinis. I tried a Blueberry Cheesecake Martini. It was dessert in a glass- creamy and delish, finished at the bottom with actually graham cracker crumbs and blueberries. Amazing.
We tried almost all of the tapas. It was so refreshing to find a tapas bar that has broken out of the Firefly mold. Everything was delicious.
We were going to forgo dessert, but we were surprised to find out the the chef's wife is also the pastry chef, and uses 1/2 to 3/4 less added sugar in her desserts that the main stream average. At the top of the list we found the cheesecake. The flavor changes everyday- and today's featured flavor was Chocolate Peanut Butter.
Creamy and light, this cheesecake was to die for. It was very lightly flavored with an all natural peanut butter, and then drizzled with a chocolate sauce. Served along side was some additional peanut butter (for all of us PB lovers)!
You can't go wrong with Elements. This place is such a gem- the owners are amazing people that really do LOVE the food they cook, and it shows!
