After several nights of discussing past travels, meals enjoyed, and friends remembered, business visionaries James & Sean Abrams along with Award Winning Chef, Nils Tarantik, concluded our beautiful city needed an establishment that could hold its own with any of those destinations.  A few of the “must haves” for this undertaking included a warm, plush and sophisticated setting, an award-winning wine & beverage program, a menu filled with globally influenced dishes, prepared with fresh, local/regional ingredients and a team of inspired hospitality professionals to bring it all together.

Following months of planning, construction and long dedicated nights, they arrived at the conclusion this restaurant would be a gift for the people who live, work and travel to Sarasota.  It is with a sincere love for our enchanting city, our passion to serve and the ongoing pursuit of perfection, we welcome you to element, modern mediterranean grill™; Sarasota’s premier fine dining and destination restaurant.

Chef nils

"Just over one year ago, we introduced Element as the newest addition to the Sarasota restaurant scene. We have worked hard to create a unique experience that encompasses all of the elements of a truly memorable meal. Every dish on the menu has a story and I really wanted to represent how food, like life, is made up of so many individual ingredients. I want to represent how those ingredients are transformed into the food we love and the memories we cherish. Our riffs on classic Mediterranean favorites along with our immersive atmosphere, and superb wine and craft cocktail offerings are meant to seduce the senses and entice the palate of all of our guests." -
