I was there again this past weekend with my daughter and we ordered the filet mignon and it was amazing!!!! Luke was our waiter on Saturday and he was excellent!!! Potstickers were great as well!!! When my daughter, grandson, girlfriend and others come down Element is certainly our go to place!!! Thank you everyone from the friendly greeting when you arrive to the amazing waiters and waitresses to the chefs and beyond! This restaurant runs like a “Swiss Watch” well done!!!“

“My dad, Erich Rauer, recently passed away. I just wanted to share that this was one of his favorite places, he had a lot of good times with all his friends here, especially with his good friend Doug. Unfortunately in the past few years his illness prevented him from being able to hang out with everyone here as much as he would have liked to. But that didn’t stop him from sharing some stories of fun times here. On occasion my sister Kim or I had the pleasure of joining him for a few drinks. He was very proud of his German heritage, was a great fisherman back in the day, loved soccer and watching the FIFA World Cup, and a NY Giants fan for as long as I can remember.

But anyway, I just wanted to share the memory. I included a few pictures dad had sent me, of some good times he had over the past few years here.

The servers were excellent and the food was outstanding and got rave reviews from our guests and family. Calloways has always been a favorite of mine and now has many more. Thank you to the owner and all your amazing staff. And I think you have a few more converts to your Paul Bunyan Bloody Mary’s. They were yummy.“

“Went to dinner Saturday night with my parents who dine there often (after many years on the island...crazy it was my first time). Our waiter, Alex was SO incredibly kind and a wonderful waiter. I cannot have gluten so he were really cautious in checking to make sure everything I ordered was safe for me. A great spot, where I felt completely welcome. My one gentle comment is to ask that the music be lowered or nixed in the dining area. We found ourselves shouting a bit to hear one another. I will definitely be back...trying happy hour next! Thanks so much again for a lovely evening.“
