Element Restaurant And Lounge

My first experience at Element was great but it doesn’t compare to my second visit. The food and service was top notch. Sitting upstairs in either the lounge or patio before dinner is the way to go, and if the weather is nice their downstairs patio is amazing and well worth it for the views of downtown St. Louis alone. Drinks are fantastic, food is better.

We were here a few months back for a rehearsal dinner, and I could not have been more pleased. We had both our 2 year old (ring bearer) and 9 week old with us. While we were looking forward to a fabulous meal, I was dreading the thought of trying to keep them both quiet and seated for the duration of the evening. While the food was as absolutely delicious as I expected (and more), I was completely blown away by the service. Upon entering, I was quickly approached and offered 'anything' for my son. Knowing the fish and beef options may not be the most appealing to a 2 year old, they promptly made him his own cheese pizza which he loved. Midway through the night, I needed to leave to feed my 9 week old and had planned to go out to the car. I'm not sure how he knew, but the nicest man (who I assume was the manager) discreetly tapped me on the shoulder and offered me a private room. I could not have been more grateful. My 2 year old also loved watching the climbers at Climb So iLL that we could see from the second story. What could have been a disastrous meal turned into a wonderful and memorable evening. I could not recommend more!

We have been here several times, today for our anniversary and were not disappointed. We received complimentary champagne and desert. The food is always outstanding and menu changes with the season. I had filet with oyster mushrooms and my husband had new Zealand venison. Love this gem of a restaurant. Thanks Luke for great service. See u again.

My wife and I went here for a little celebratory dinner, and the dining room was closed for a party. We ended up going to the lounge, on the top floor. It was very interesting, and the wait staff was very good. That could be because we basically had the whole lounge to ourselves. We ordered the "Leave it to Us" option from the menu, and were treated to a wonderful selection of interesting dishes; ox-tail tortellini, rainbow trout, lamb chops, key lime gooey butter cake, carrot cake, and a few other dishes. It was worth the price for a unique experience.

My husband and I ate here for an anniversary dinner. It's a fun, intimate environment with really, really good food. We literally loved everything we ate. The restaurant also added a few special touches for us on our anniversary, like glasses of champagne and a Happy Anniversary message on our dessert plate. It made for the perfect start of our evening!

My wife and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary, and we could not have loved our experience more. The staff was great and friendly, recognized my reservation immediately and discretely, and gave us some extras and a personalized dessert to really make the night special. All of the food was incredible. I cannot thank the entire staff, as well as Chef Josh Charles for making our night a memorable one.

Amazing food, fantastic atmosphere, excellent service. This place is beautiful, from the interior - the kitchen and bar area, to the patio. The space is very unique and well decorated and the atmosphere is superb. The service is top notch and the food... is even better. The lunch menu is amazing, the fried chicken is to die for. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I'd be sure to make a reservation on weekend evenings as they tend to fill up!
