“ The commute from Reno to Central Cali or Bay Area is Beautiful, but whats better? When you find a good place to relax and enjoy your view. The menu changes for the season. I had the Roasted Chicken w Verde Risotto! Mmmm ”
“ 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 midday. We finally decided to make a special trip just for this place and Im 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. ”
“ Clean, fresh, vibes are hallmarks of this restaurant. Normally a long line to sit, we were able to sneak in on a slow morning. Staff is very friendly and attentive. I had the breakfast tacos. They were dime sized tacos with chorizo, potato, egg, and green salsa. Each component provided a distinct flavor. I also ordered a vanilla latte, it was delicious. A little pricey, but you are paying for quality food in a wonderful environment. I recommend trying at least once. ”
“ New owners as of..maybe a year ago? Nevertheless, the food, the atmosphere, and the service are still phenomenal. This is my favorite place for breakfast. And, by the way, they make great Bloody Marys. When in Sutter Creek this is a must. ”
“ First things you take in when you walk in friendly faces, amazing smells, and tall ceilings with great lighting. Tims 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 wont find many places that can give you a culinary experience like this for under 100. You will enjoy every bite. ”
“ We had a great time at Element the other night the food was fantastic, the local wines were perfect pairings. Ill come back for more soon! ”
“ 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. ”
“ Wellcurated 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 its in a comfortable space attached to the Hanford House. A little loud for my taste but it was a Saturday night after all. Cant wait to go back. ”
