I believe theres an old saying, "Never judge a restaurant by its facade". This could not be more true for Elements Restaurant in Almaden. The facade of the restaurant is not much to look at, but the quality of the food is wonderful. Elements is a French-Vietnamese Restaurant. It has many of the fresh Vietnamese ingredients and influences mixed with the wonderful sauces that you find in French Cuisine. I had the won-ton soup to start which was delicious and was made with fresh crisp vegetables. Afterwards, I had the sea bass cooked in banana leaves which was served with a light bernaise sauce, steamed vegetables, and forbidden rice. The sea bass was moist and perfectly cooked and pair very well with the sauce. The vegetables, carrots, green beans, and broccolini were cooked just right, not too soggy with just enough crispness left in them. My friend had the fillet which was only $24 (a steal!) and was melt in your mouth delicious. For dessert, we shared the creme brulee. It was well made, nice and crispy on top and plenty of fresh vanilla bean in the custard. All in all dinner was a success. This place was recommended to me and Im glad I gave it a go. I never would have tried this place had I just happened by this semi deserted strip mall but I went on a friends recommendation and it was one of the best "new to me" restaurants that Ive been to recently.

I have tried almost everything on the menu and been extremely pleased with each and every one. That includes entrées, appetizers, desserts, and even a couple of the local wines. I mean, seriously, this is probably the second or third place ever that I tipped the chef on top of the waitstaff. It is beautifully adorned on the inside (my five-year-old has even drawn pictures of it), yet they manage to be extremely patient and helpful to me and my little ones, who make a mess every time. No, its not as cheap as Chipotle, but I do find it nutritionally balanced, convenient, and fairly quick. My official favorite restaurant.

I love the attention to detail, beautiful food,great selection,home made sauces. Everything if fresh and the best quality. Nice view from the out side seating. Gets busy so go early, better yet tuesday or wednesday is a nice time to go. My favorite is the sea bass,warm bread, home made cream bur-lea, and a nice glass of wine. Nice find.

My husband and I love this place. Food is always excellent and the service is top notch. We got the beef wrapped asparagus spears and they were so delicious I wanted that as my main course. Salmon Wellington is excellent as well as the seasonal sea bass dish. We always love the mixed berries dessert. Its wonderful!

We love Elements Restaurant. Shame they close for January but I suppose everyone needs time off. The food is so good and they care about the source of their ingredients. A good wine selection and the pricing is reasonable. The service is always professional and with a smile.

I love the food there. They have two dishes that are spectacular, namely the tea-smoked duck and the salmon wellington. They also do a nice petite filet mignon. Ive never had a bad meal there and the service is always nice. For the quality the prices are quite reasonable.

The food here is great but it is a little pricey for what you are getting. I had the Wonton Soup with the Salmon Wellington and it was pretty good. The food is also a little bit Vietnamese Asian fusion so they have some unique selections. Overall not a bad place to dine.

This place is wonderful! My mom and I had appetizers for dinner along with their garden salad..it all tasted wonderful! And the prices are so reasonable. Their wine list is great also. Ive been craving their rice noodle wrapped beef appetizers, their menu is so unique!

I love the food here. Their tea smoked duck is fantastic, as is the salmon wellington. The service has always been good (even when they are busy). Very pleasant and quiet. Wine list is also good. My wife and I try to go there as often as possible.

Filet Mignon, Duck and Rack of Lamb are awesome. Sometimes they offer Ahi Tuna Special,and its divine. Location is quiet, but in the middle of no where. However, the value of the food and service are kind of making up for it.

Try the sea bass, the filet, or the super comforting meatloaf. Just typing this makes me hungry. Service is always friendly and professional. What a great restaurant!
