It was fantastic, the service, the food selection! We loved the scallops and the roasted cauliflower were just amazingly delicious. The desserts, ice cream and key lime pie were not to be missed.
My scallops came out later but we really enjoyed the no pressure dining Food was excellent and service was above and beyond! Special evening wonderful food!!
This restaurant is the perfect place to go to for a laid back, romantic date night. They did a wonderful job renovating this property! Our server was attentive, the food was very good.... and the view!!! It's a tropical paradise! I highly recommend it! We will definitely be going there more often now.
Elements Restaurant, also known as Drift at the Islander Resort, offers a delightful dining experience with its beautiful oceanfront setting and attentive service. The scenic location includes a thatched-covered small dining area, giant screens open to the surrounding beach, and gentle breezes softly blowing palm trees. The ambiance is romantic, relaxing, and scenic, with tables offering direct views of the ocean and a cozy firepit with café lights overhead, perfect for romantic dinners and enjoying the scenery.
The restaurant features a diverse menu, with highlights like fresh seafood, including the fish of the day such as wahoo and black grouper, served with silky potato purée and crisp-tender broccolini. Guests also enjoy dishes like the whole yellowtail snapper with coleslaw and citrus rice, crab stuffed lobster, garlic shrimp, and pasta with clams. The brunch menu offers excellent options, and the atmosphere remains lovely for breakfast and multiple meals. Desserts like key lime pie are highly recommended, and creative cocktails, including a spicy Paloma, are popular among diners.
The staff receives praise for their good service and mindfulness toward dietary needs like gluten allergies. Visitors appreciated complimentary birthday cake and the well-lit sandy paths leading back to the car. The view is even better than expected, making it a perfect spot for romantic dinners. Many guests have returned for multiple visits, praising the fresh catch and whole fish of the day. Overall, Elements Restaurant is a hidden gem that provides a memorable dining experience with scenic surroundings, delicious cuisine, and attentive staff.
