Elements Restaurant

We came here for Valentine’s Day. I was very excited based off recommendations here that they had many gf options on their menu. When I looked online ahead of time it did appear as though they had a great selection. I noticed their large GF symbol above all pastas- leading me to believe that it was all gluten free, aside from their ravioli which was specified in parentheses next to the item. When I went to order the Alfredo I was informed that it was in fact, NOT gluten free and that they didn’t stock their GF pasta anyway, due to the Valentine’s Day event.

I tried to ask for clarification to which she just said it was for the bread. Seemed so odd to put it so large above the entire pasta section, and then specify only one not being gluten free if there’s multiple pastas not gluten free. On the back majority of the burgers are listed gluten free but all of their sandwiches that are listed gluten free are a lunch only item. There were a few items like steaks that are labeled gluten free but I just wanted something different. It seems that’s all there ever is to order, and I get so tired of ordering the same things. I ended up ordering something I didn’t even want that was gluten free off their seperate valentine menu, but it was not enough food (I don’t eat a ton anyway) especially for $100.00. They didn’t stock their crème brûlée either, so the only gluten free options were chocolate strawberries or sorbet. I just went with strawberries because I was a bit fed up at that point that the options were so limited, and I tried to plan out my meal ahead of time, only for it to be a huge let down.

All the 5* reviews here had my hopes up so high. I will say it was great that they were very careful as to not just serve something without checking. Just double check before you order anything from there, even if it looks like it’s labeled gluten free. I don’t think I’ll ever eat here again based off this last experience.

Picked this restaurant for our anniversary based on reviews. Get there and very few options listed on the menu. Talked to the waiter and options went down to pretty much nothing since he told me to stay away from any protein. I asked about the pasta since it surprisingly was one of the few options listed gluten free. After talking to the head chef the waiter came back and told me they could make pretty much anything gluten free and that they take cross contamination very seriously. I went ahead and ordered the baseball steak. The food was absolutely delicious! We then got dessert. I got the creme brulee which was underwhelming. Within about 15 minutes of leaving the restaurant I was deathly ill with my glutened symptoms. Not the way I wanted to spend our first night away from our kids in 5 years.

I have eaten at this restaurant many times. The food wasn't the best for a while, but after they got their new Chef in 2019, the menu has improved immensely! The kitchen staff are also much better at working with allergies than they were prior. The serving staff is very knowledgeable about gluten free items and if they don't know the answers are very willing to find out for the customers. Theire gluten free buns for their burgers are great, as well as the gluten free crust for their pizzas. Most other items on the menu if not gluten free are at least modifiable. Would definitely reccomend if you're looking for a nice meal and good service!

The waitress was rude. When we requested a dairy free gluten free menu she said she didn’t know and wouldn’t go check until we asked her to. She wanted to argue about clarified butter being dairy free. The meals were served 30 minutes apart. The meal did not sit well and the night was spent in the bathroom! For an expensive restaurant we will pass this one up.

Celiac friendly?

No

This place just totally messed up and included wonton strips in my taco which were hidden inside until I took the last bite. I immediate alerted our server who got the manager. They were nice but the damage had been done. Apparently their line cooks don't fully understand gluten intolerance. I requested that they either fully train all staff or remove the option of gluten free items from their menu. However, I would never trust this place again.

GF menu: they know how to handle you. Lots of options, including two soups. I got BBQ tiger prawns with bleu cheese slaw, French onion soup, chicken madeira with mashed potatoes, and frozen peach lemonade. My wife had a bite of my chicken and said it was better than her pasta. The lemonade was amazing: don't skip it. Nice atmosphere. The courses didn't have any gap between them, they actually came out while we were still eating the previous thing. So that was weird. Appetizer, drinks, and entrees for two was about $60.

This place was divine! They had a pretty large gluten-free menu and I didn't get sick from it afterwards. It's definitely worth a try!
