Perfectly cooked meat with a great portion size too, the house salad & dressing was amazingly tastefully; we also ordered the Salmon – just delicious!!! Super big portion desert the can satisfy 3 people, good servers, good and spacious place, great atmosphere; low-price for a high-quality food, definitely coming back & recommending to everyone!!!

Cannot get over how good this restaurant is. Affordable and unique and upscale for seriously reasonable prices. My fiance and I *always* default to going to this restaurant when we have no other ideas and it's a day they're open - they're just that good. The food & drink /menu is incredible, the service is top notch, and the vibe inside with the lights and seating just feels so nice and cozy.

We love Element - they're SUCH a hidden gem.

How in the world are there 5 doors to this place and no indication to where to park or where to enter? Went to a restaurant down the street and they also said yeah the place is a maze. The only door that I could find remotely open on the building while they were patrons inside, I’ll be it only one couple was to a back closet area in the back of the restaurant every other door to this place was closed and no signs anywhere where to enter. Very confusing looks like there’s a different restaurant on the left side that might or might not be connected. No clue but FYI, you guys are definitely losing money over this stupidity.

Salad croutons were amazing. Ask for bread because it is really great. Perfectly cooked tender filet mignon. Homemade. High quality food at good prices . Great service and nice atmosphere.

The best steak, drinks and friendly atmosphere always brings us back! David, Stacy, Alexis and Kat are wonderful people who give 100% in service, drinkology and tasty food. Free parking is right across the street. You gotta visit if you are in Front Royal!

Filet mignon and salmon were very good. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was odd, with high overhead lighting (nobody looks good in overhead lighting, except my wife of course), no table clothes or candles on the tables.

Dim lighting at lunchtime..? The restaurant didn’t look open. Can imagine in the evening it may look atmospheric but misses it during the day.
Food terrible although at first I thought it was tasty, I did at times get a strange taste coming through. (Vegetarian avocado wrap). I looked more closely and much of the avocado was bad. At home I would have thrown it away. Very poor.
Waitress could see we had left a lot. My husband did not like his salmon salad… so left much of his. After asking if we wanted a box and us declining the offer, it should have been a sign at our displeasure of the meal.
Very sub standard food and atmosphere poor.

Worst dining experience ever. We arrive at our 7:30 reservation (hostess very nice) sat us. We were not greeted by wait staff for 10 min. After finally getting a drink order in, many minutes later it arrived and we were told the kitchen was closing early at 8 pm…in 4 minutes, she says “no rush to order though.” No time for an appetizer, we of course order dinner immediately. We finish drinks, she swipes the glasses, no offer for another. Food arrives, it was good, pork tenderloin and pepper steak, we eat and end up with a small amount left over. After being ignored the entire meal she reaches for my plate to throw my food away. I asked for a box. She rolls her eyes, leaves my plate at the table and comes back 5 minutes later with a box and delivers the bill. We hadn’t asked for it yet. Did we want anything else, drink, desert, anything…it didn’t matter! For the record we had wanted desert and probably a second round of drinks. I have never had such rude service nor been pushed through a meal in that way. The evening was thoroughly stomped out. We will never go back. After looking into the reviews, I see that this is a common occurrence!

We had one of the best dinners here last night at the bar- honestly some of the best tasting food and cocktails I have ever put in my mouth! The wedge salad was to die for- I could drink that blue cheese! My filet was perfectly prepared and the augratin potatoes and asparagus with hollandaise was just SUBLIME. Our cheese please even had the perfect balance of cheeses and fruits. Please eat here- the whole menu sounded amazing and the staff could not be more sweet or attentive! Excellent bang for your buck as well!!!

Restaurant is beautiful and I adore their food, imo best place to dine in Winchester/Front Royal/Stephens City. Come check this place out! My favs include their salmon salad and chicken with mashed potatoes, the specials are always good and the bread pudding is heavenly! I am a foodie that has eaten at many fine dining including Michelin star restaurants across the country and I am telling you they won’t disappoint!

Stopped by for lunch. Lunch menu is limited, but was very happy what we ordered. Nachos, Fish and Chip and Curry chicken salad, all very tasty and full of flavor. You can tell the chef really takes pride in their craft. Highly recommend it.
