The restaurant is a warm, cozy place that feels very private and personal. The staff were warm and welcoming. We did not have reservations, but even though the restaurant was quite full they got us seated very quickly. The chef/owner came out and talked with us ~ he was delightful!! The food was amazing!! The combinations of flavors in the sauces and dips and on the meats themselves (in other words the whole meal) were superb!! They even managed all our odd requests on our desserts for certain elements to be served on the side! Truly impeccable and outstanding. read more

You all delivered an experience that truly stands out -- warm, attentive service paired with beautifully prepared dishes that show real care and craftsmanship by the Chef. I was celebrating my birthday, and having a birthday card placed at the table was an extra‑special touch that meant a lot. The service was excellent throughout our visit, and every detail, from the atmosphere to the presentation, reflected a team that takes pride in creating memorable moments. The only thing that could have topped off the Brunch would have been a small complimentary birthday dessert or gesture to match the thoughtful start. read more

Literally says they close at 9 PM showed up at 7:45 and they wouldn't take me. Just a little bit disappointed because I am from out of town.

We did a 1/2 dozen oysters to start, which had caviar on top, some seaweed salad and other goodies which made them very approachable and delicious. Double bone in lamb, with squash, Mole Rose, potato, and some other amazing goodness i cannot remember. The lamb was meaty and delicious, cooked to perfection. Chef Sosa delivered yet another perfectly curated and prepared masterpiece. We paired it with a very affordable Cab Sauv, and crème brûlée for desert. The service was impeccable as always. Chef Sosa visited our table twice during our meal to make sure everything was acceptable. We were seated at one of the cool living edge tables made from a cedar round. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for fine dining, an expertly curated menu, and freshly prepared meals from locally sourced ingredients. read more

In Vancouver? For brunch? Then this is the perfect place! First time today, invited three of my friends and we were amazed with every single dish and drink. Such a wonderful place. We all ordered different dishes and all of us four were not disappointed. Flavor and presentation for every single dish was phenomenal. Not one negative thing. Service was beyond professional. Very informative and helpful Jennie was our waitress and we all enjoyed her service. The ambiance is gorgeous. Simple decor, clean, comfortable. Seriously one of the best restaurants I have been in Vancouver by far. Highly recommend. It's a must! read more

First thing you notice- ambiance is very rustic modern. Dim lighting. Bright enough inside the restaurant to where candles are lit and pieces of natural light from outside shine in. My mother and I came for brunch today on a whim and so happy we did! I had the chilequiles rojo. My mom had biscuits and gravy and our brunch was to die for! I'm usually not a breakfast food type girl so this is high praise for myself. Portions were massive I had to take a to-go box home with me. Service was prompt and knowledgeable. Definitely want to come enjoy dinner here sometime soon as well read more

Have walked by Elements so many times but never had a chance to come in - when I was looking for where to grab brunch this morning I was happy to see Elements had a brunch menu. Service was so great - everyone was kind, friendly, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. The menu options were great - I ended up getting the steak & eggs and my dad got the chilaquiles verdes. We both also got mimosas - they do something different with their grapefruit mimosas and I love it!! So many times the grapefruit mimosas are sickly tart but this one was not. Food, drinks, and service were all great. I look forward to having brunch here again in the future. read more

Is this a special occasion restaurant? Yes! Should you wait for a special occasion to come here? No don't wait, just go! I first heard of Elements several months ago and we decided to wait for our anniversary to go. My only regret is that we waited. We had an amazing brunch of Tortilla Español and Chilaquilles Rojos. Both were amazing! And their list of specialty house cocktails made it hard to choose just one! Ricotta pancakes with lemon curd and blueberry compote were perfect. Why wait for after dinner to enjoy dessert? Don't miss this warm and cozy spot. It's super cute and the service was amazing. read more

4.5 Stars Fresh & Flavorful We finally made it elements in Vancouver. It was pretty easy to find and they had a parking lot behind the restaurant with a back door making it convenient. The staff we welcoming and very friendly. They have atrong emphasis on local, sustainable sourcing and ever-changing, inventive dishes. We shared the beet salad which hit the spot. For entrees we had, roasted king salmon, parmesan crusted petrale sole and rigatoni. Definitely a spot we would come back to and recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dinner in Vancouver. read more

We tried Elements for the first time on NYE & despite their having a packed house we were all blown away. We opted for their tasting menu which I'm happy we did because every dish was delicious and satisfying to the senses. I loved the ambiance and kindness of the staff who really did their best to make sure we were comfortable and had a great time. Best way to end 2025 read more

Still 5-Stars! This update is to add a comment on their weekend brunch (more on that later in this review update). Follow them on instagram for drool-inducing photos & videos of menu spotlights, along with updates on specials. Everything in my previous reviews still hold true. This is a wonderful place for a special occasion meal, date night, or just to "treat yo self!" The food is always incredibly delicious, the menu changes regularly with as many locally sourced ingredients by the season as possible, and the service is always warm & friendly, without any hint of pretentiousness. Their cocktails & desserts are heavenly as well! Oh, and you get a complimentary crème brûlée dessert if it's your birthday! I recommend making a reservation online for dinner if possible as it's a smaller place, but walk-ins are sometimes possible. They also have an upstairs section you can reserve for larger groups. Their weekend brunch is also so delicious, with some standard breakfast options (but elevated & presented beautifully), along with some more unique options that change with local produce availability. You can usually get in for brunch easily without a reservation, but I still recommend making a rez online ahead of time if you know for sure what weekend day & time you'll be there, just in case. If you have the opportunity to attend one of Chef Miguel's special prix fixe themed menu dinners, I highly recommend! He has them from time to time and they are truly magnificent. There's always a beverage pairing menu available as well you can add on. I attended one of his vegan dinners and WOW - I'm not vegan, and it was so delicious, I would have sworn some of those dishes had meat in them because he worked some umami magic on those fruits & veggies! He posts info on these special menu nights on Instagram, and you have to reserve ahead to get a spot, so be on the lookout for posts about those. read more

We had a nice experience overall at Elements. The vibe here is super cute and cozy without trying too hard. The live edge tables really stood out. They add a beautiful natural touch to the space. Service was wonderful from start to finish, attentive and friendly. We ordered the biscuits and gravy, and the avocado and lox Benedict. Both were flavorful and thoughtfully presented. I had the Portuguese biscuits with the benedict and I thought those were just ok. A bit dense for my liking. I also do wish the Hollandaise had been a bit warmer. I would come back though. I'd love to try their dinner!Overall great atmosphere, great service, and a menu is worth exploring further. read more

My husband and I came here on a Saturday evening. We had reservations and were quickly seated to our table. Our hostess came and took our drink order quickly. We looked at the menu and decided to choose a few different items to share. The bread and butter was great. The scallops was my husband's favorite. It was very tasty. The NY strip was thoroughly cooked to perfection. Everything was delicious. Our table was often glanced at and taken care of, which we appreciated. The atmosphere of the space was very cozy. The live edge tables elevated the restaurant and not to mention all of the amazing artwork hung throughout the restaurant. We will be back to try a different menu in the near future. read more

Sunday 10am, of course all places will be busy with waits for breakfast! I called and they let me know there is no wait right now and will setup a table for our party of 4, to be ready for our arrival - how sweet?! The person who answered the phone was so kind, professional and bubbly as well! We were seated promptly and all staff welcomed us warmly when we walked in. No lie, the iced tea was the best iced tea I've ever had lol not sure if it's brewed in house or what, but so good! Lemon ricotta pancakes, we wanted to try multiple things so very happy to know they can do a half order, and they were amazing - like I'd give my kidney up for them. Roasted potatoes, again, best I've ever had, flavorful, seasoned to perfection. Our eggs Benedict we opted for the Portuguese muffin, made in house, slightly sweeter than an English muffin and denser - but it was amazing. One "negative" thing I'd have to say is one of the kiddos that ordered the classic breakfast with sausage was disappointed that the sausage was chorizo - he assumed breakfast sausage as we all did - the menu didn't say chorizo. I've been wanting to try this place for a while, I'll be back for dinner for sure!! Oh and on the to go boxes the staff wrote the date on the box and a cute note read more

Hands down the best meal I've had in years! We ordered several dishes to share, and every one was outstanding. The oysters were truly next level. some of the best I've ever had.

I highly recommend this restaurant, and it has officially become my favorite dining spot! read more

We had a nice evening at Elements. Dinner service was great and the food was good. We started with the Hamachi Crudo that tasted amazing. While the Poached Lobster was a little overcooked but good, the steak was cooked perfectly and the truffle butter made it exceptional. For dessert we had the pumpkin tiramisu which was good too. Service was excellent. read more

This is my new favorite breakfast spot! I absolutely love their Tortilla Espańola. Excellent staff, Excellent atmosphere, go here!

This place is outstanding! If I could give it more stars, I definitely would. This is one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. I made a reservation online to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. We've heard great things from friends, and after reading other reviews, it seemed like the perfect place for a celebration. Our table was ready when we walked in. The atmosphere inside is very inviting and cool. The tables are made from thick live edge tree rounds. Super cool looking. They had fresh flowers on the table with a lit candle. They also had a birthday card on the table for my husband. It was such a thoughtful touch. The staff is super friendly, welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable. Our server was Angelique. She was wonderful. She was able to answer all our questions about the menu, food, and drinks. You could tell she really liked working there and experiencing the culinary brilliance of the chef. The chef was involved in our experience, too. He came up to us during our main entrees to find out how everything was. We thought that was super cool. Then he came out again at the end of our meal and thanked us for coming and wished my husband a happy birthday. We were so impressed. It really elevated the whole experience. Now the food. Wow! The chef really knows how to pair flavors. We ordered the asparagus appetizer. It included a Dungeness crab cake, almonds, chives, radish, English pea puree, and hollandaise. It was SO good! It had a few ingredients that I wouldn't normally like, but I loved all of it! Our entrees were the duck breast and Alaskan halibut. Again, both were outstanding! Everything was so good and fresh. We finished the meal with a complimentary vanilla creme brulee. They even lit a candle in celebration. We were so blown away with our entire experience here! We'll definitely be back. I would highly recommend. read more

Fantastic food! Server was very nice and attentive! We had a lovely date night here last weekend. Really enjoyed the vibes here!

I am a huge fan of elements. We've dined here multiple times and always reccomend this restaurant to friends / family. We had brunch yesterday right before closing with friends from out of town 4 of us + a 1 year old. The server said because we were a "large party" we had gratuity automatically added...... 22% for 4 adults and a baby. I've never had automatic gratuity charged for a group smaller than 6. And I think this should be communicated at the beginning. read more

it's really hard to find a restaurant that knows how to cook duck properly. you're supposed to score and sear the skin until crispy to prevent chewiness. this restaurant is not one that knows how to cook duck. The oysters we had the bread and butter, not pictured which was delicious and the steak was good but still chewy in the center because it wasn't cooked to the desired temperature that we requested. The tiramisu should never have chunks. I was expecting a pumpkin purée, but it was chunks of pumpkin that was not expected and not wanted, but the crème brûlée was delicious. we would eat here again, but I would definitely not order the same items. I'm hoping next time we return that the scallops and a chocolate tart is the way to go. read more

The shrimp and grits... ah... the shrimp was delicious, the grits were very goopy, the egg on top was delicious. The flavors were good honestly (lots of different flavor profiles) which worked out in its favor but it fell short, ultimately felt like a tomato corn soup with egg on top which if you've ever had proper shrimp and grits (from the south) would really throw you for a loop. Honestly, the flavors were great, but just have the grits separate, folks from the PacNW who don't know anything about grits would love this, but more nuanced folks who eats grits regularly will not be pleased. read more

Some of the best food and drinks I've had in downtown Vancouver! The Rum Diaries & Slippery Slope cocktails were amazing along with the honey bread, sea bass, and shoulder tenderloin were all so good. The ambience was cozy, warm and intimate - great for a date night or with a group. Service was on top of it as well. Worth the higher prices I'd say - looking forward to going again! read more

Wanted to go here for awhile so we went on our anniversary. It was amazing with a warm & cozy atmosphere. The service was great & very helpful. We started with the mushroom & chestnut pate that was full of flavor then I had the striped bass with wonderful vegetables & spices. Finished with the crème brûlée & truly enjoyed the finish to dinner. Highly recommend & thank you for bringing such a wonderful taste to Vancouver. read more

Hands down, the best dining experience we've had in the Portland/Vancouver metro area. From the moment you step inside, you know you're in for something special. The service is consistently flawless, and the staff always goes above and beyond to make every visit memorable. But it's the food that truly sets Elements apart. Chef Miguel Sosa and his talented team are culinary artists, crafting dishes that are as stunning as they are delicious. Every bite is a flavor explosion, with inventive twists on classic flavors that leave you thinking about your meal long after you've left. There's a unique quality to the dishes here that's hard to describe -- a kind of magic that elevates each meal to the level of an unforgettable experience. The ambiance is just as impressive. The beautiful artwork adorning the walls is always a conversation starter, and it's nearly impossible to leave without being tempted to purchase a piece to remember your visit by. The art adds such a unique touch to the entire dining experience, reminding you of the amazing meals you've enjoyed at Elements. If you're looking for an extraordinary meal in the Vancouver/Portland area, look no further. Every visit to Elements is a celebration of culinary craftsmanship and artistic flair. Highly recommend -- it's worth every penny! Website: https://elementsvancouver.com read more

Omg! Such an amazing experience and their food was mind blowing. I've never tried French-Spanish fusion , I've had French and I've had Spanish but never a fusion. The chef did not disappoint! He married the cuisines so well, in a way I never would have thought would go well together. read more

Delicious spot to grab brunch in Vancouver. From the tasty cocktails to the savory specialties, everything was fantastic. Service was amazing and so friendly.

Hubby ordered the Dungeness Crab Cake Bene with a House made Portuguese muffin.(instead of English muffin) Texture was amazing on this squishy bready bottom layer with a sweet balance.

Yum! we made a minute reservation for sunday brunch and i am so glad we did! I had the French toast and it was Ah-mazing! I didn't need the berries.

Outstanding would be an understatement. I'm a Californian who visited a friend in the area and had one of the best breakfast dishes in quite some time. It's hard to come by a place that prides itself not only on the appearance of their food, but also the quality of ingredients they source for their dishes and the amazing flavor each dish had. The service was personable, intentional and timely. I don't think I could say anything negative about this place, and can't wait to fly back and try more of their menu items. What a pleasant way to end a weekend trip to Vancouver, WA read more
