The Winery farms 16ha of Riesling in the Nahe Valley with an editional 2.5h ha of other white grapes. We are very excited to have Marvin with us to add some insights about each wine while you enjoy them. We will be able to hold your table for 15min, after your reservation will be handled as no-show. We require 48h cancelation notice for a full refund. Please let us know about allergies at least 48h ahead of the event. https://www.emrich-schoenleber.de/en/

    This restaurant has a great a space and ambience. Each dish is beautifully presented and shows the chef has a lot of creativity. We enjoyed each dish that we had, and our server was excellent. Food and drinks are on the pricier side but I think each guest will definitely enjoy the experience.

    I was really looking forward to trying Elem. Unfortunately, when we arrived, it took over five minutes for anyone to evenacknowledge us—not even a quick "we’ll be right with you." Once seated, the restaurant had a nice atmosphere and a good vibe. We ordered the burrata, crab toast, and gnocchi. While the dishes were flavorful, they lacked the textural variety you’d expect from a place aiming for a high-end dining experience. All in all, it was an okay experience, but not somewhere I’d go out of my way to wait for a reservation.

    Wonderful meal - we chose “let us cook for you” for the two of us. Our server Sofia was awesome and chef Vish came out to welcome us for dinner. We’ll be back.

    This was my first experience at Elem and my friend and I were very happy with all aspects of the dining experience. The food was scrumptious and provided a wide variety of flavors and tastes. I only gave a 4 for the food because one dish, the octopus, although delicious, it was not tender. We have eaten many octopus dishes in the past and this one was chewy. Otherwise everything divine. Wonderful wine list with varietals we hadn’t tried before. The Sommelier was very helpful in choosing something we would enjoy. We will definitely go back and recommend to friends.

    Everything was great! Just one minor thing: with that number of servers in the dining room, I would hope at least one is dedicated to the front desk/FOH. When I walked in, it took about 10–15 minutes for someone to notice us and seat us. Aside from that everything was great!

    The burrata cheese was the best I have ever had. Unbelievable. The lamb is always a winner. The special pork shoulder pasta was also a hit. The cocktails were delicious, in great glassware, and the ice cubes are made for them! Great service from the second we walked in. One of the servers recognized us from a visit 2 months ago. They change their menu often which is great.
