Elements Restaurant, San Jose

Looking for a quiet place and nice atmosphere, and great food. Hard to see from the outside but once inside Beautiful. The restaurant is a cross between Vietnamese and Europen cuisine. We started the meal with Spring Fresh Egg Rolls, wrapped in moshu rolls, stuffed with shrimp, hearbs, and then dipped into a dark sauce with peanuts. I had the Veal, it was served hot and tender you did not need a knife to cut it. The Rice was cooked to perfection and the vegatables were firm and flavorable. My guest has the Salmon, and rice and vegatables, and she said that it was best salmon that she has had in a long time. For desert we had a flan that was topped with strawberries & cream in a lighter than normal sauce. And the wonderful thing was that neither the sauce nor the flan was overloaded with sugar, so you really got a chance to tase the wonderful combination of the two flavors. They also have an excellent wine & champaine room neither of which we enjoyed that evening. Modestly priced at about $20 per person. We are looking forwards to returning there again soon.
