Element - Sutter Creek, California

First things you take in when you walk in - friendly faces, amazing smells, and tall ceilings with great lighting. Tim's menu is an enticing one, simple yet eloquent, classic with a fun twist. Every item is balanced, full of flavor and seasoned beautifully. Price vs quality is right where it should be. The beverages were delicious as well and were equal to the quality of the food items. You won't find many places that can give you a culinary experience like this for under $100. You will enjoy every bite.

Came for an early dinner and food was good, price was on the higher end. Falafel (3) were very moist, less crunchy. Burger was good, ans cooked well. Staff was great, amicable and we were quickly seated with no wait time. Clean establishment.

We have been wanting to try this restaurant for many years, but it always seemed to be closed when we were in town (we usually are here during the mid-day.) We finally decided to make a special trip just for this place and I'm glad we did.

I was a bit worried to bring a group because the menu seems a bit sparse. I need not have worried, for the food was excellent all around. I had the NY Steak, which was delicious and cooked to perfection. My wife opted for the shrimp and grits which was equally excellent. On the table was also a Spring Pasta and a Comfort Bowl with added chicken. All were delicious.

The service was attentive without being overbearing. We had everything we wanted when we wanted it. The bartender does a great job and the ambiance is very comfortable on the eyes.

I look forward to going back and highly recommend this restaurant.

Element - one of my favorite restaurants for breakfast and dinner! The staff is by far one of the friendliest in all of Amador, and always go above & beyond to make each visit full of good food and laughter. If you haven’t dropped in - you should!

The cocktails are amazing and the wine list is filled with local favorites. I would suggest coming on a Wednesday night where they offer Wine deals, but every day they are open is a good day to go.

This place is nicely decorated. Located in a really cute old west town of Sutter. The service was great. We got there around 9:50 am. Did not have to wait to be seated. The food was good, but not superb. My Benedict eggs were ok but missed a bit on flavor. The breakfast burrito was dried. Coffee was solid. I would go back to try their lunch and dinner menu. In general good alternative in the area. Some room for improvement, though.

Well-curated American fare in downtown Sutter Creek. The food was exceptional at the price point, phenomenal shrimp and grits. A nice variety of cocktails, service was exceptional and it's in a comfortable space attached to the Hanford House. A little loud for my taste but it was a Saturday night after all. Can't wait to go back.

We visited a strange little town that closes midday, and consequently did some window shopping. We stopped into a bar that had a sign outside advertising live music. The Elvis impersonator behind the bar had a personality deficit and didn’t want to serve us, so we ultimately found ourselves at Element.

This place doesn’t seem to belong in this backwards town. It is bright, clean and inviting.

The bar makes lovely drinks and the staff is very friendly.

The food was pretty good. But our server, Vanessa F was wonderful. She made us feel right at home. If we come back, it will be because of her.

We had a great time at Element the other night - the food was fantastic, the local wines were perfect pairings. I'll come back for more soon!
