Elements at 35th

Sat on patio for business lunch. Employees we can across at first inside the restaurant didnt seem like they were happy. But once we got seated outside, the server, Mikey, was outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The food looked as good as it tasted. Though the guacamole had a hint of tomatoes it had a perfect amount of smoothness and texture and a nice flavor. The crab cake had a salty ocean flavor without being overpowering and flaked rather than fell apart. The chicken in the asian salad was tender and not dry. Certainly a little spendy but still one of your best options in the local area.

Never got go try the food because I left without being seated. If you have a sign that says "please wait to be seated", it should probably happen within 5 minutes when there are 5 people in the restaurant.

After a long day of traveling, one needs to eat but not too much. A bowl of tomato soup, a side of sweet potato fries, and a glass of merlot sounded about right. The tomato soup was tasty and not pureed to the point of disintegration. The fries were interesting. Crunchy and chewy at the same time, served with a nice dipping sauce. A bit on the pricey side, but what hotel restaurant isn't? It saved me from going out into the cold.
