   ELEM could rival any high end restaurant in London- everything was superb ! We were there on a night that an entire office was celebrating in a room separately and unfortunately it made it very loud but not the fault of the restaurant. The service and quality and timing were all spot on! Heading back for our anniversary dinner in June!

   Elem is a culinary gem located on Main Street in Vancouver, offering a unique blend of global flavors and local ingredients. The restaurant's ambiance is inspired by the elements, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that is both stylish and welcoming. One of the standout dishes at Elem is the Grilled Lamb Skewers. These skewers are a true masterpiece, featuring tender lamb belly lacquered with a sticky sweet medjool date glaze. The dish is beautifully complemented by crunchy buckwheat and a punchy ginger labneh, making each bite a delightful explosion of flavors 1. The lamb is cooked to perfection, with a soft texture that pairs wonderfully with the sweet and sour notes of the glaze and labneh.

   Amazing food paired with a amazing service. We went with the “let us cook for you” and allowed our server to take care of the selections for our meal. His choices were amazing and created a beautiful dining experience for us!

   Fantastic cocktails, service and food. Looking forward to going again when there is another menu change. Best brussel sprouts I’ve ever had hands down.

   The food is terrible! It has a strong herbal and spice taste! The dessert is simply "dark cuisine" and is hard to swallow~

   Our server went above and beyond! He got us extra chips for the venison tartare before we had a chance to ask. The Dungeness crab toast was packed with flavor; the gnocchi texture was light and fluffy, and we loved the sauce - it wasn't rich at all, which suites our preference. It was exactly to their description, "spring". It didn't leave us feeling bloated or full, like other gnocchi dishes typically do. The brussels sprouts was a great side dish, and they managed to add their own twist, which we enjoyed. We were surprised with 2 desserts, one was a birthday cake and the other was the chicago popcorn dessert which left us drooling. The drinks were great and unique. Lovely ambiance. Would return and recommend highly to others!
