Ben was an amazing server. Our whole dining experience was the best. We also met Scott, the manager, who was very professional. We tried many different dishes. The steak was so tender, we could cut it with a fork. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend.
Angelo was a fantastic server! 5 star service! We sampled 12 items from the menu and loved them all. My favorites were the garden salad with a hunk of Gorgonzola, the crab / potato cakes, and the Osso Bucco! Delicious! Thank you John Platt for the invite!
Had a great experience at Element last night. Had a business dinner, and the food & service, amazing! Steaks were super flavorful, tender, and cooked to order. Wine & whiskey selection was just as good! Would very much recommend a visit if you are in the Sarasota area.

Was in town for a long weekend trip to celebrate a friend getting married soon. We had an amazing dinner, quality and portions were amazing. There were a few allergies that members of our group had. Our server (Darin) was amazing, he went over everything with us and made those with allergies feel very comfortable. He was so helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.
We strolled into the bar early, and the lovely bartender (hi, Faith!) treated us like royalty. Excellent martinis, delicious fondue with fried Asiago bread and heirloom veggies, and the most luscious barbacoa tacos I’ve ever tasted. Great service, beautiful bar and dining room, super reasonable.
We really enjoyed the food and the service last night at Element. The hangar steak was unbelievably delicious. The atmosphere is also very pleasing. The two lady bartenders, Faith and Savannah, are skilled and attentive.
There is one glaring problem, however - the seats in the bar. They were ordered by someone who evidently has never sat in them. They are probably the most uncomfortable seat I've ever sat it before. My husband felt the same way. There were people in the bar choosing to stand up rather than taking a seat. If the seats were remedied, I would give a five star review on the atmosphere.

We met here with a group of friends and were absolutely pleased from the get-go. We were escorted having reservations to the private room and received prompt attention. The food was excellent. I ordered the shrimp linguine and could barely finish it all. The six of us in the group had all positive things to say about our dinner and the restaurant. We highly recommend. Kudos to to the manager, Edward, for being so kind and helping us out of a parking issue. Such a polite and professional demeanor.
Trey at the bar was attentive and friendly while still tending to others. Steaks were tasty, tender, and cooked perfectly, showing there is a difference between medium-rare and medium-rare plus. Nice selection of drinks. Recommend the old fashioned (+$3) smoked.
We celebrated my husbands birthday last night at Element. Everything was fantastic and everyone made him feel so special. We had a 9pm reservation and never felt rushed at all. The food and drinks were outstanding. Our waiter, George, was so friendly and helpful! My husband does not drink alcohol, and he said the mocktails made for him were very good! The environment was beautiful and relaxed. You can tell they really take pride in their establishment and making sure their customers feel welcome and comfortable. There was a VERY loud party in the next room celebrating a birthday which sounded more like a group partying at a club at times, but this is no fault of the restaurant and I doubt regular dining experiences would have that level of noise. Overall we were super impressed and can’t wait to come back!
We went there with a very large party of about twenty five and they handled things well.
Salads were fresh and dressings high quality. Appetizers were excellent as were sides.
My Porterhouse was amazingly good, although they tended to overcook a little bit, this is of course, common for large parties.
Definitely will go back.
This is a restaurant that has it all! The elements are what the menu and atmosphere are made of. The earth produces the right climate to grow the best food and this restaurant collects the best ingredients and prepares them as art both in taste and presentation. You will not be disappointed!
Absolutely perfect! We were celebrating a special anniversary. Indicated that in our reservation and there is nothing they could have done to have made the evening more special. Food was outstanding atmosphere is excellent, and the service was impeccable, with a possible exception of a bit of a wait for wine with dinner.
We’ve never been here before, but we will definitely be back!
