Awesome atmosphere. Perfect place for a date or small party. It has a cool lounge area where you can eat and drink, or tables and a bar. Foodwise, the combo clams and mussels in chorizo sauce is always a win. The scallops looked panned fried and were cooked perfectly. The bacon wrapped lamb was also very good but could use some sauce. The duck was tender and juicy. Also the beet salad was refreshing...gotta have some greens. Only downside is short staff but the one person handling the front house was on it. read more

I really enjoyed the food at Elements Tapas especially the bacon wrapped dates, peppers and the empanadas, which were absolutely delicious. The cocktails were well-made too! The asparagus and mahi dishes didn't quite hit the mark for me, but the variety and creativity on the menu were still impressive. Service was a little odd it started off really slow and then suddenly picked up and felt rushed toward the end. The restaurant itself is small and quiet, which I liked, but the tile floors are surprisingly slick definitely something to be cautious about, especially for older guests. Prices are on the higher side, though that seems to be the norm for most tapas places. Overall, it's a charming spot with tasty dishes and a cozy vibe just a few details away from being a perfect experience. read more

Never again just sat there for 45 minutes waiting for iced tea one cocktail and a glass of wine and nothing so I'm done with their s***

This is a hard review to write but things were just not right here. Visually, the restaurant was really nice. We sat down in a booth and the seats were really uncomfortable. Foam was broken down. We ordered wine, the house pallella, and a few appetizers. The wine took 20 minutes to show up and the pallella (which they tell you will yake 20 minutes) took almost a hour and a half. Overall, flavors were bland and uninspired. There didn't seem to be enough staff for a busy Friday night and I expect we won't be trying them again. read more

We had wanted to try this place as we love trying many different foods and tapas. We brought our parents to check it out. We were greeted right away and seated at a booth. It is an old brick building and is like an old style speakeasy. Beautiful old wooden bar. They have a full bar so you can order cocktails, beer and wine. They have some signature cocktails. We decided on several shareable items on the menu. All were delicious and we had just enough room for dessert which were fresh made churros. They were so light and fluffy. We will be back again to try some other items on the menu and cocktails. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Just passing thru town, we chose Elements for dinner. Very cute corner restaurant off Main Street. Half bar and half booths and high top tables, with a few couch seating areas around the front. No high-chairs or kid booster seats however. All the tapas we tried were delicious! They have lots of options from seafood to steak and salads. Everything was moderately priced, and there was also a special $10 tapas menu offered too. Our waiter was the best. Overall I could see myself and my husband becoming regulars if we lived next door. I'd recommend this place for date nights or anyone wanting to relax at a cool cozy bar. Not dive-y at all. One suggestion is to offer bleu cheese stuffed olives for the martinis, as we came to find they only had store-bought small green pimento olives. read more

Elements Tapas - Lounges Near Me - Medford, Oregon

3.5 stars. Late night dining can be a challenge in Medford but Elements helps fill the void with their impressive menu of tapas and paella. They also have daily special additions to the main menu worth checking out. I opted for 3 tapas plates. First to arrive was the Spanish ceviche. A tasty mix of yellow tail, scallop, Serrano and cilantro. Served as 3 individual bites on house made tortilla chip rounds. While it was tasty and enjoyable, it had the appearance and texture of ceviche that had been sitting around a while. Pale and lifeless in color. It wad good, but could be better. Next up was steak canapés. Flat iron steak, lemon aioli, and house made chimichurri. Served 3 to a plate on sliced baguette. I devoured these but the chimichurri lacked that vibrant color you expect from it. It looked sort of brownish like it had been sitting around a while. Finally the oyster crab. 3 oysters Rockefeller style and 3 fried crab bites with lemon aioli. This was ok. I would've preferred the delicate oysters be served raw. The fresh flavors were masked by the overpowering topping. Cocktails are amazing with a great selection of top shelf liquor and expertly crafted. Overall a very good experience and would Come back to explore the menu. The ambiance is very nice and elegant without being pretentious. And the service and friendly staff are incredible. read more

Food is really bad. I had my favorite dessert flan, it tasted bland like milk. The caramel sauce was like runny water, the worst flan I've ever had! The restaurant needs a new recipe for flan!!! I do not recommend this restaurant! read more

We had a good time here. The food was delicious, and the craft drinks were great. We would go back if invited by friends, but probably would explore other venues on our own. Would have given 5 stars but if we had been forgotten on 2 separate drink orders, we didn't see any staff on the floor for up to 10 minutes and the store had about 20 customers, and we also wanted to purchase dessert to go after dinner, but were told the chef closed down the kitchen, 15 minutes before closing time on a Friday night. read more

This place was a great find on a Sunday night on our road trip to California. We wanted to eat somewhere downtown and not right off the highway. The location has historic charm with exposed brick. The service was prompt and friendly. Out waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was excellent. You can definitely mix and match plates to add up to a whole. I highly recommend if you are in Medford. read more

Elements Tapas has been our place for special occasions for years. We love the atmosphere, attention to detail, and unique dishes. Papas del Toro is my favorite dish. The crisp potatoes, tender oxtail, perfectly pungent truffle oil, white cheddar cheese, frisée, and perfectly poached eggs go together so nicely. It's the ultimate shareable comfort food. I've ordered it many, many times because it is just so deliciously unique. My last visit for my birthday with my two friends was absolutely horrendous. The place smelled like rotten bums. The restaurant was dead. The kitchen staff emerged a few times, and the filthy sight of them combined with the smell, should have been our sign to leave. We had already ordered drinks, and bites, however, so we stayed. After all, I had never had a bad experience. When the food came out, it didn't appear to be bad. We ordered the Patatas Braves, Manchego and Bacon Dip, and the Papas Del Toro w/poached eggs ($32). My friends and I all served ourselves some of each tapa and visited while we sampled the food. During that time, there was a person in the restaurant that needed an ambulance, and the server became pretty engrossed in that. Not a huge deal, but important to note that we weren't really checked on. When he finally came back to ask how things were, he sold us another round of drinks, and left before I could tell him about the sub par food. At that point, two of us had spit out meat from the Papas Del Toro, because it was too chewy and we'd found bone splinters in it. That has never happened in years of ordering the dish. The poached eggs were also grossly undercooked (egg snot rockets) and the potatoes were not crisp - they were soggy. There were three tiny, pathetic little slimy pieces of frisèe - hardly detectable with all the excess grease that sogged out the potatoes. It was not good at all and cost $32! However, the three of us had all sampled it, tried to enjoy it, so about half of it was eaten. When he was finally able to talk to us, I let the server know that the Papas Del Toro was not at all at the level that we would expect. The meat was almost inedible, the potatoes were soggy, and it was just not good. He offered no solution, because "so much had been eaten," not acknowledging the chewed up and spit out pieces of meat on two of our plates. With another patron being loaded up in an ambulance, it was not a time to argue. The server was flustered at that point. So, we paid up and left. As much as I loved Elements Tapas and that delicious dish, I won't be back. The place smelled disgusting. The kitchen staff looked like absolute dirt balls, and the food quality was verifiably terrible. The server didn't have to comp the whole cost of the dish. He could have done just about anything to make good, but he offered nothing. Another decent restaurant in Medford bites the dust. read more

Found this place while driving through Oregon and so glad I did. Upon first entering the restaurant we noticed a large group enjoying food and wine. We were greeted and given a choice of a table. Everything looked so good on the menu, so we weren't sure on what to order. We started off with ordering wine. The hubby had a taste of two particular wines he chose. I order just a glass but then decided to order another one from my husband's choice. They were all delicious! We then decided on a beet salad and a few other appetizer. Everything was delicious! We will return here on our next trip through Oregon. read more

Oh, this place. Spanish chef, cool bar vibe. Big tables, small hightops, and extensive bar seating. And the food. We always order the mushrooms, the patatas bravado, the oxtail with eggs, and then whatever strikes us. Everything is good, including the pricing. And the Albariño never disappoints. read more

The aura of the restaurant is friendly, inviting, and warm. The music played fits the vibe and setting and is at the perfect volume for conversation and placing orders.

Found this on Yelp, as we have had the privilege of going to Spain 2x, we were looking for tapas. This place had some different flavor combos, it was okay. We were sad that they were out have any croquetas, and it had just opened. read more

TLDR: MID. Nice ambiance. Cute staff. Hip clientele. However, food was aggressively MID.

Visiting from the Bay Area and wanted a drink and snack before our flight. Elements was perfect! Service was attentive and lovely, and the food and drinks were all great. Will definitely come back again when we are in Medford. If the owner is reading this, I would say you have an opportunity to be the coolest spot in town. With some changes in lighting (bathroom) and design (when in doubt, add plants!), have a POV on music... you could bring in a larger crowd on a Saturday evening. Nice spot! Definitely check it out. read more

Fried calamari - Flavor is not bad. Not crispy right but it could be they left it a while because it's lukewarm and that could explain why it's not very crispy even though the batter itself is not Flat Iron Steak - Taste again was good. The flank steak was surprisingly tender, usually flank steak is not known for tenderness. Curious, it's also lukewarm. The potatoes were nicely done as well. Like home fries with some crispiness and compliment by some blue cheese to spice up the flavor. Catalunian paella - Hot hot hot! Finally something hot! It was very well done. I've had many paella around the world and this is better than some I've had. The seafood was very fresh, the texture of the Spanish rice was done perfectly. The flavor was done quite well. Madrid cheese bread - That was one impressive cheese bread. The fig, the hazelnut, cheese and the sauce it was extraordinary. Hazelnut was nicely toasted, the sauce was perfect with a tint of sweetness, the crispy melted cheese. And it's hot too!! I Service - I think the owner lady was also working. There is only 1 waitress who also answered the phone and bar tender also help. I suspect it's the lack of helpers that hindered them from serving it fresh hot. read more

Don't recommend coming here for a drink on your 21st. I came here to get a drink after I got a tattoo on my 21st and was told that it was Oregon law you can't serve someone on there 21st birthday.I looked it up while there and found nothing saying that was true,the bartender continue to say that it's Oregon and it's just so weird. Definitely left a bad taste in my mouth about the place and honestly ruined the night as it was my last stop before going home. The place was super nice and clean and besides the encounter the bartender was nice I just wouldn't recommend coming her for your 21st, wait till after.!! read more

Food was so delicious, all the flavors were amazing. Late night bite there was two guys at the bar and our table. Service could have been better-the bartender/server was very invested in the guys at the bar even did a very nice tasting with them on some liquor. Seemed like they had a great time, all while not taking care of your locals. Food is all appetizer portions but packed with flavors, they are open late-which is a bonus. I'll go back again because of the food. Let's see if the services matches read more

Reserved a table for 3 bcuz thought it would be busy on a Thursday night. It wasn't at 7 pm. Besides us, there were 2 ladies having drinks. Server was okay, but the food not okay. Paella was overcooked. Calamari was rubbery and the entire dish was not seasoned well enough and it wasn't presented like on their website. The cauliflower dish and bravas potatoes were underwhelming too. Too bad bcuz this place used to serve delicious tapas! read more

I have been to Elements 3 times and each time is has been fantastic. It was quiet for a Saturday night but the food and the service was awesome. We ordered a few vegetable dishes and the popcorn mahi mahi and pork belly along with the bacon wrapped dates. The mushrooms are to die for! We had so much fun ordering different plates to try. Whether you're wanting a full meal, just tasty apps, or have something to celebrate...this is one of the best in Medford. I'm looking forward to going back next time we're in town! read more

Fantastic food, great wine recommendation, wonderful cocktail, and a great evening. We'll be back.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris, the restaurant owner to coordinate an on site dinner for 13 last night. We ordered skewers (chicken, steak & antipasto), salad, baguette & a root vegetable medley. Everything was perfectly prepared & absolutely delicious. The portions were appropriate for our group; everyone left happy & full leaving very few leftovers. I am looking forward to catering with Elements again in the future! read more

This is the kind of restaurant I normally wouldn't have walked into, given how slow the business appeared. However, we made a reservation based on the raving reviews and decided to give it a try. Four of us sampled four tapas dishes: crispy cauliflower, garlic saffron prawns, the daily special salad, and a clam dish. For the main course, we opted for their house paella. To our delight, every dish was outstanding. The chefs clearly use the best ingredients; the prawns were crisp and fresh, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. Each sauce complemented the main ingredients beautifully. The rice in the paella had the perfect bite, making every mouthful a pleasure. It left me wondering why the business was slow on a Thursday night. The restaurant is located in a run-down downtown area, which might be a factor. Despite this, I sincerely hope this restaurant thrives even in a tough economy. I highly recommend visiting if you find yourself in Southern Oregon. As a bonus, the bartender/waiter is very cute! read more

Staff are kind and attentive. The bartender makes great drinks. They have a limited selection of Spanish wine. I ordered the mushrooms for the appetizer which comes with bread. It was good. It had button and crimini mushrooms so it would have been nice to add a little more variety of mushrooms to add to the flavor and texture. For the entree, we ordered the "house" paella. The menu indicates 40-minute wait, which was accurate. I found it to be "way" over salted and a bit on the dry side. I felt the flavor was missing a little pizzazz. Their chocolate tart is to die for!!!!!! Delicious! It is dense, not overly sweet and has a little bit of a crunchy crust...some type of nut is blended into the crust. I am open to trying this place again and order a different entree or paella. read more

LOVE this place not only is the food amazing but they have a great wine selection. Bartender was really friendly and helpful he suggested the scallops which were so good I went back the next day to get them again! Hands down best dinner i've had in medford oregon read more
