At Elements Restaurant and Enoteca, some of the most striking things happen at the end of the meal. That's when dessert, often dazzling and always delicious, arrives…..all the pieces add up to a lovely addition to the neighborhood.

To sum up: Elements is a restaurant with an environmental and social conscience, but that doesn’t get in the way of its turning out wonderfully creative and scrumptious plates, small and large, and offering up scads of wine by the glass and some of the world’s best cheeses. It’s a hit in every way possible.

Finally, someone in Napa who gets it. I'm kind of tired of this year's batch of french bistro, or tuscan trattoria. The dishes here (small plates) are varied, creative, well prepared and promptly served. The cheese varieties are plentiful, accessories (pickled figs, marconis, etc) are present. The place is comfortable, well served and keeps real hours (starting next week continuously from lunch 'till midnight)

Indeed an enoteca as well as a restaurant. Buy a glass of wine at the bar, a bottle to take home is then 15% off of wine store retail, or to drink there moderately marked up. Good and interesting variety, don't gotta drink those ridiculously overpriced, over alcoholed, jammy Napa varieties - though many are represented (o.k. a point of opinion, but Carneros is not far away.) Also a good assortment of elegant draught brews.

Beautiful room and fittings. Romantic spot.
