Great atmosphere. Very disappointed in the bartender who made zero effort to interact. Even a busy bartender makes an effort.

This is true dining. The food is always exquisite with decident flavors. Some of the best food we have ever had. The salmon I had tonight was cooked perfectly, which included carrots & turnips. Absolutely delicious. I’ve also had the pork chop, my friend enjoyed the filet mignon, my husband had shrimp linguini …all delicious. Even the desserts are great. Try the crème brûlée. The service is top knotch. Our waiter, Michael, was excellent. He k ew the menu as though he created it himself. He offered suggestions, was attentive & personable. He even brought a small cake for my friend’s birthday. There are many other servers who take care of your needs. It is the best service ever. I say this without hesitation: it is the best food & service around town& well worth the visit here. You won’t be sorry.

WOW!!!! Second time there and was great again! The service was fantastic and so were the cocktails! The bartender recognized us from over a month ago which made it even better. I would highly recommend stopping in for amazing cocktails....the limoncello ice cubes are to die for!

Pros: beautiful interior and outdoor seating. The indoor lounge had nice modern style sofas and the ambience was very calm and elegant. Great music and perfect place for a date night. The bartender was very attentive and had great recommendations for drinks. They have a happy hour menu that goes all night and is definitely worth the money. The passion fruit martini was amazing. Cons: None!

We had a great experience at The Lounge at element. Our bartender, Alexander, was excellent! He was very kind and attentive. He also made really good Old Fashioned and Negroni Drinks. The Carpaccio appetizer, and the Tuna entree were also very good. I would highly recommend this lounge.

We went to the Lounge with a friend of ours who is visiting with us and had arranged to meet up with a friend from her college days who now lives in Sarasota. We had a great time meeting and talking with him. The problem was that our server was new and service was slow even though it was not busy. When the drinks did arrive, they were quite weak - no real buzz for the 3 of us ordering simple cocktails, his wine was fine. Worse yet, we ordered some appetizers - he truffle fries and the two ladies, shrimp cocktails. His fries arrived but he shrimp cocktails never did - the server had put the order in the computer but had not sent it to the kitchen. As we were now stuck waiting, I decided to try the beef tacos. When the shrimp cocktail finally arrived - it was only one order. My tacos arrived shortly after (they were ok but had to use knife and fork to eat them). The ladies shared the one order of shrimp cocktail. My wife and I had been considering moving into the main dining area at the Element with them but were too put off. We asked for our portion of the bill - it came to about $90 for the weak well (not call drinks) 2 vodka sodas w cranberry juice, two bourbons and coke (avg $14 per) - the shrimp cocktail ($19) and tacos ($15). If the drinks were good and the food and service were even just acceptable, the cost might have been tolerable. We did not stiff on the tip - left 20%. No apology from the owner or manager, not comping for the mistakes and bad service. Not what patrons should have to deal with in a purportedly trendy establishment.
We stopped in here for a quick appetizer and a drink before the wedding we needed to attend. We ordered the shrimp cocktail and the bacon kebabs as our appetizers and it was the perfect amount of food. My fiancé ordered an old fashioned and I ordered a fancy Mocktail. This place has a fantastic cocktail and food menu and I can't wait to come back here and experience the whole menu. It's a great spot for cocktails or an amazing spot for a nice dinner.

Delightful lounge with a creative menu. The old fashioned was one of the best I ever had. We've come here a few times while waiting for a table to be ready at another restaurant.
