Video Project Assigment - Elements Restaurant

Elements Restaurant is located on Mill Street in St. Johnsbury, VT. This exquisite restaurant supports local and New England farms, bakeries, markets, and breweries. They serve a variety of unique foods including specialty cheeses from Kingdom County Market in St. Johnsbury. Elements is big on supporting small businesses in the area and incorporating their products in many of the items on the menu. Elements prides themselves on creating an atmosphere for great conversation and food. They strive to make their customers comfortable and satisfied.

Many positive reviews of the restaurant show just how much people really enjoy the food and ambiance. Fodor put out a review stating “In a converted mill, this restaurant seeks to provide the "elements" of a fine dining experience. Local ingredients, such as farmstead cheeses and homemade breads, are used for the seasonal menus, which might include striped bass with pepper slaw and wasabi mashed potatoes or smoked trout and apple cakes. You can eat indoors or on the deck overlooking the Passumpsic River. Lunch is served Tuesday-Friday from Memorial Day through Columbus Day.” Many more reviews of the restaurant give positive and encouraging feedback.

Executive chef Ryan O’Malley has dedicated much of his time to the smooth running and execution of Elements. After receiving a culinary degree from Paul Smith, he has gone on to show his culinary talent at Elements. He has described the food at the restaurant as both “high end cuisine” and a place to eat “comfort food.” O’Malley also loves the diversity of the restaurant: it can be a place to take the whole family out to eat or to go out for a special, more intimate setting, such as a birthday or anniversary.

If you are looking for a quaint and delicious place to bring out of town guests or just relax enjoying good food, stop by Elements on Mill Street in St. Jay.
