Visit New Jersey: elements

elements in Princeton, New Jersey is one of my top restaurants I've ever eaten at. Ever. Their Chef's Tasting menu is so thoughtfully-crafted and exceptionally executed, and I consider the dining experience to surpass many other world-renowned restaurants that I've eaten at.

The 15-course tasting menu, featuring seasonal ingredients (many of which are sourced from Great Meadow Farms, or foraged by the chefs themselves) was incredible:

Oyster

Dumpling

Pike

Sweet Shrimp

Mushroom


Salmon

Trout

Caviar

Madai

Housemade Bread

Japanese Squid

Fluke

Skate



Grilled Celtuce

Lamb
Ribeye

Violet

Tahitensis Vanilla

The Sweet Shrimp presentation was so pretty! And I must say, the shrimp was so delicious as well. I rarely eat shrimp, but I devoured these in no time! The Mushroom (my fave fish on the tasting menu), Caviar, Dumpling, Pike, Squid, Fluke, and Skate were the highlights for me. I don't eat a lot of seafood, but each fish dish was perfectly cooked and seasoned.

Whether it was the Madai that was prepared to four ways, the shag bark-smoked ribeye, or the housemade bread - every dish was brilliantly executed and reflective of the place and season.

And of course, the desserts are always a highlight! Violet was reminiscent of the Violet Mints candy that was so popular in Hawai`i growing up, but it was infinitely more delicious. The Tahitensis Vanilla was amazing (the sweet biscuits alone are just fantastic!).

Service was excellent, and I already can't wait for the next time I can visit elements!
