Element 112

This place was amazing suggested to me by a co-worker and it did not disappoint! Ashley and Jala were amazing and held our hands through the 7 yes 7 course tasting menu and wine to pair!! My wife and I had not had a proper date night in 6 months and this made up for all of that!!

We dined at Element 112 recently, and decided to have the Tasting Menu. While each of the courses was well-executed, we were disappointed to learn that these were not exclusive dishes created by the chef to create a special experience. Instead they were just very tiny portions of selections from the main dining menu -- which itself is pretty uninspiring. Altogether, the quantity of food provided was sufficient. But you're ultimately paying $125 for what amounts to a sampler platter spread out over a couple of hours. Also be aware that Element 112 adds a 20% surcharge to your bill "in lieu of a tip," which is only mentioned in very small print at the bottom of the menu. For a restaurant that plays at being a "gourmet dining experience," they need to do better.

Good experience here. The hostess provided us with 3 detailed descriptions of the starters which made choosing easy. We ordered the chickpea panisse based off her suggestion (def wouldn't have otherwise due to unfamiliarity with the dish) and it is pictured below. The presentation was beautiful. Flavors were good and with the texture added by the grapes/olives, I did enjoy it. Flavor wise it wasn't my favorite (to be fair I've never had anything like it before) but I appreciate the complexity of the dish with all it's components. For the main dishes we had the French dip and shrimp gnocchi. Both were awesome. Gnocchi a little heavy but I don't know enough about gnocchi to know if this is normal lol. The sauce and shrimp were delicious. French dip was also great. Meat and other components in good proportions and flavor was good. Overall great service and food. We will be going back!
