EleMenT - Restaurant in Easley - 200 Russell St, USA

For anyone reading this review this is the best food in Easley PERIOD!!! Their Queens Elixer” cocktail is one of the best cocktails I’ve had and I have consumed ALOT of beverages in my time so that’s saying something. The salads were wonderful be sure to get the homemade vinegarette! My wife got scallops that were perfect and I got the New York strip with the mash potatoes and asparagus, let me just say the steak couldn’t have been cooked better and idk how the chef perfected that asparagus but they nailed it. It’s so hard to get asparagus to that perfect point of crunchy and soft. Make sure to save room for dessert and be careful ordering the apple pie because if any of it gets on your forehead your tongue will beat your brains out trying to get to it!!! My wife got the tiramisu and I was shocked at how big it was, this place is 12 out of 10 good and you can’t go wrong with anything here!!!

So this place was trending towards 2 stars until the desserts saved them. Whatever you do, if you come here, make sure you get the desserts. They were easily the best part of the menu. There was 7 of us. For apps we got Stuffed Elm & Blue Oyster (nothing was stuffed. There was only one type of mushroom. It's was pretty good) and fried queso fresco (this was just fried cheese. I feel like they're adding "fresco" to make it sound better. The tomatillo sauce was a good add though, so I recommend it). For entrees we got the swordfish special (slightly over cooked, but with delicious peach chutney), steak (slightly dry with good charcoal flavor, but not much seasoning), burger (overcooked with tasty bacon jam and pimento cheese), brown butter chicken (average), pesto penne (average), Asian braised pork bowl (best tasting and put together entree of the evening). The fantastic desserts were strawberry pie and chocolate cheesecake. I don't even like chocolate cheesecake and I thought it was excellent. In closing, it was good, but definitely not great. Was it worth the price? It's borderline.

Very nice restaurant. Flavorful menu items and great staff. Impressive to say the least. I'm glad to have a place of this caliber in downtown Easley! Just wanted to update my review with a few pictures. The food, service, and menu selections are still top-notch. You will not be disappointed! On our recent visit, we started off with the baked brie and mushroom soup. The mushroom soup was fantastic! For our dinner, we had the ribeye, cooked exactly how I asked, and didn't need any sauce or seasonings, perfect! A side of pan seared scallops toped that dish off. Also has the chicken marsala. Again, perfectly prepared and no seasonings needed! Just an all-around great visit.

Dined at Element this evening with friends. What a discovery in our own neighborhood! 3 of us had the Alaskan Cod & it was excellent. Better than anything we have had in Greenville & much better service. One also had the seared scallops, also excellent. The mushroom bacon soup was fantastic! Love the cocktail bar here. What a hidden gem in Easley. Will definitely be returning. Danielle took very good care of us. Service is outstanding!

First thing to say is about how beautiful this place is. Both the inside and outside are very inviting. The choices are more limited than some restaurants but just plan ahead, they're are multiple ways to see the menu updates beforehand. I also like the fact that they craft a new menu with in season items and seasonal pairings. Our food was great. The mushroom appetizer was our favorite thing we tried. Nice drink selection with the option to make anything a mocktail. Overall a fun experience and night out. We would love to come back next time around!

Amazingly creative dishes, all fresh ingredients, great service, really good cocktails. I'm so mad we just discovered this place. We'll be here twice/month from now on. I have nothing negative, nor constructive, to say. Smaller dining room, so I would suggest a reservation. Can't wait for them to fire up the fireplace during colder months. This is a must-try. And Danielle gave fantastic service. Playful, fun, but professional. Safe bet. But don't be in a rush, this is a farm-to-table emphasis, they appear to emphasize quality over speed.

This place is outstanding! Service is great, food is great, even the dessert we got was awesome. I had the steak; it was the best steak I ever had . The steak melted in my mouth! We all got the silk pie, and it was soo good. This place is a hidden gem 💎 everyone needs to try out!

EleMent never disappoints! Fabulous service and delicious food! My husband and I have loved everything we have tried on their varied menu. So much thought and love goes into each plate! The intimate setting is refreshing and the workers are intentional in getting to know their guests. I am SO glad to have this charming gem in Easley!
