Elements Kitchen

So there comes a time in a man's life where he has to choose his favorite things.  Some choose the '69 red mustang parked in their parking lot. Some choose to love his best friend named Lucky the labrador. I choose to love the food served by the awesome people at Elements. I was referred here by a very good friend of mine, whom I cannot thank enough. Elements Caffe moved from Fair Oaks in Pasadena to join with their Elements Kitchen on El Molino Avenue. I always have a wonderful eating experience at Elements Caffe. I thought there could be nothing better added to Elements but someway.. somehow.. they did...now there is ALCOHOL! 

Good for: Families, brunch, a date, and just about any occasion 
Parking: They are various parking lots surrounding Elements. You can just follow the sign and park behind the building
Scene: A contemporary feel with many different groups of people enjoying themselves
Service: Very helpful staff but sometimes they get very busy
Noise level: Moderate chatter
Seating: Indoor and outdoor
Price: $$
Rating: 4.5/5 

We ate: Iced Brazillian Coffee, Hibiscus lemonade, smoked salmon benedict, and lobster mac & cheese with truffle oil and mushrooms 

Once you walk into Elements Kitchen, you get seated by a waitress anywhere you like.  There are a variety of seating spots.  It is a pretty spacious restaurant.  I went for brunch but for dinner, I believe, sometimes they have live jazz music by the bar.
