Food and service was excellent. You won’t be disappointed. I got the lamb rack and it was really good! The sauce, mash potatoes, and veggies were a great combo.Looking forward to coming back again!!
Not sure if this place is worth the price. The dishes are good and all but come on are you serious about the prices. It takes maybe $4 to make a dish here and they triple the price. I guess that's what happens when you are French fusion. Every French restaurant or French fusion place I have been too charge you up the a$$ for mediocre food. The food was pretty bland.
It’s place that I will visit often now. The food and service was excellent. Lydia who was our server was the best server who made sure that everything was okay and gave great recommendations. I got the lamb rack and it was super good. Words can’t describe how great of lamb, sauce, mash potatoes, and veggies. Looking forward to coming back and trying other things on the menu.
A friend and I had dinner there Saturday night. It was our first time there and the place was moderately full (open tables, no line to get a seat.)Service was spotty. Our waitress (elderly Asian woman) was sweet but a little absent-minded. She sat us, took our drink order and appetizers. We had to flag her down before she took our dinner order 10-15 minutes after they had removed our appetizer plates. Then we heard another waitress seating a couple and telling them about today’s soup and specials. Our waitress made no mention. We had no idea there were specials.We had the Spider Spring Roll (spring roll with soft shell crab @ $16). They were ok but not the best value. There were two spring rolls per order, each cut in half for a total of four pieces. Examining the inside, we realized there was just one leg (not the meaty claw but a spindly back leg) inside each full spring roll. For $16, I would more crab. A spider sushi roll easily has 3x the crab for $12. Very disappointing.For dinner we had the scallops and the herb crusted salmon. Both were good but not amazing. Better can be had at other restaurants for the same price.For dessert, we split the mango panacotta, which had a dollop of sorbet on top with some berries. That was fine; nothing to write home about.Given the other positive reviews, I can only comment based on the dishes we ordered. I would give the place another try but this time, with some suggestions from the staff. Overall, we found the food decent but not quite worth the price or value.
The lemongrass Seabass with black rice & curry sauce was delicious
We needed to be early to get to a kid's play (near a school). We had the place to ourselves at 5pm. We are a varied group (kids, parents, grands...) with different ideas about food and we were all happy with our choices (clam chowder, pad thai, tea smoked duck, ravioli...). The wine list was good. My duck was perfect with a thin plum sauce and the taro was subtly, perfectly seasoned (and I am not normally a taro fan). Service was great! The location is great for us and I hope to be back! Portion size is generous.
Wonderful take on Asian French fine dining. Love the presentation of the food. The quail appetizer was nice little half birds cooked wonderfully so the skin was crisp like peking duck. The Paella was so delicious! The tea duck was also very good. Great restaurant ??
My parents have been huge fans of Elements for years but, since I lived in LA for 21 years & only moved back to SJ a few months ago, I finally had my 1st meal at Elements for my 40th birthday this past week & it was pure perfection. The impeccable service, delicious food, beautiful presentation, lovely decor & calming ambiance were absolutely incredible! It was a little slow because it was a Wednesday night, but that just made us feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. I sincerely hope they get a lot of takeout orders though ‘cuz I want them to get a ton of business ‘cuz they deserve to stay in business forever! Highly recommend ?
Amazing food!It's like eating French dishes with Asian flavor and enjoying American services! The price is reasonable for the food quality.I recommend Duck and Salmon.Will definitely come back!
This unassuming restaurant is a hidden gem of high quality food with great presentation. Some favorites are the lamb chops and duck, and the caramel chocolate lava cake is delicious. Definitely check it out, and you'll be back for more!
