Nice cosy restruant. Went for my birthday. It was a tapas type menu good portion size and all dishes were very tasty. Would definitely go back.

A fabulous dining experience, from the service to the finished meal, everything was excellent. All the food was really really good, although it's "only" small plates there is plenty even for my hearty appetite. I would heartily recommend Elements to everyone who would like a really good night

Booked Sunday lunch via Email, good communication from the staff so no complaints there, we arrived on time, seated immediately and within a few minutes we had menus and our drinks order was taken, the Cocktails/mocktails lost was good so my wife had one of the those, I thoroughly enjoyed the shandy as the designated driver. Little wait for the food order but I’ve waited longer at high end London restaurants so no quibbles, food arrived and they was plenty of it, two roast beef and one lamb, we were all pleasantly full so had a desert which were amazing. All in all a good dining experience and we would go back with family to enjoy a lovely meal. Front of house staff knew what they were doing and made us all feel relaxed and informed. Good job.

Went to elements for their Sunday lunch sharing platter. It was amazing. Quick service. Chocolate fudge cake was the best thing I have ever eaten. Special mention to our waiter - I cannot remember his name but he was a young man, very friendly and accommodating. We asked him lots of questions and he answered every one of them so well. 10/10 for food 12/10 for service Will definitely be back

This place is comfortably the best restaurant in Carlisle. This was our second visit and it was even better second time around. The Sunday roadt sharing platter was amazing and the starters were absolutely top drawer. The service is on a par with the food and the personal touch makes it a great overall experience. The price of the food is really reasonable for the quality and experience. Honestly couldnt recommend more highly

We went for lunch yesterday, greeted on arrival and shown to our table, we had the mussels, scotch egg, the chicken schnitzel and for dessert we had the brûlée cheesecake. The food and service was outstanding I could not fault our experience here. I would highly recommend

Best place we have eaten, decor is modern and really fits the atmosphere of the place. Cocktails are initiative, an experience and taste unreal. Food was perfectly seasoned, flavoured and cooked. All staff were friendly and attentive. Overall a very positive experience and we will 100% be back to try the rest of the menu!

Had Sunday lunch to takeaway and was delivered on time. The meat was very good as was the gravy but not served separate but that’s where the positives ends. Roast potatoes were microscopic, far too much sweet red cabbage, broccoli was raw. In my option not worth £14. Ordered extra portion of seasonal veg and got a box of more raw broccoli.

We were welcomed and shown to our table, initially we were really impressed. Once seated, we realised how dark some parts of the room were, especially the bar. How can the staff can see what they are doing with no lights? The cocktails were really nice but quite over priced. The food looked amazing however it was all covered in salt! And I mean to the point you couldn't taste the food past the amount of salt it was covered in. I did complain to the waiter, and to the chef as he came out while we were there, but they weren't interested. Considering our bill was over £200, I felt they could have offered something even a drink on the house. But nothing was offered. The waitress was really friendly so this review is no reflection on them I won't be returning. I have since heard their food is still really salty so this to me demonstrates they don't consider Customer feedback.

Very disappointing, we waited over an hour to get our meals. We ordered 2 steak dinners, one rare and one medium rare. I emphasised the fact to tell the chef to make sure they were both more on the rare side but they both came out well done. The peppercorn sauce was also extremely salty and the water tasted odd. We did mention this and the manager reluctantly asked if we wanted them re done but as we had already waited over an hour we were too hungry to wait any longer. This is the first time we’ve ever felt the need to leave a bad review as we gave feedback when asked by the waitress. And nothing in return from the manager. Personally I just don’t think it’s acceptable to be charging £28 for steak dinner in an ‘upmarket’ restaurant that is not cooked correctly and with no concern from management. Wasn’t a nice dining experience for the money we paid. The waiters and waitresses were a pleasure though and very good at there jobs.

An elevated offering on the Carlisle culinary scene, providing a welcome new addition with a high quality menu of both food and drink. Perfect for a special occasion, the relaxed atmosphere with attentive service made for a lovely evening. It is catering for the more premium end of the market, but the produce warrants this.

Had the most sumptuous eight course taster menu last night over 3 hours. This was not only a fully explained food adventure and delight, it invoked memories too which was truely wonderful. The extremely talented team from the Chef (obviously), the guys delivering the meals with exciting anacdotes about the food & wine to the guy behind the bar practising his Tom Cruise moves with a lovely smile. This was not just 8 exciting dishes it was a complete culinary experience to be remembered. Almost had to roll me out! 😅 Will definitely be back soon and next time might have a cheeky cocktail too.🍸

Highly recommend.

Food was GOOD wait time not so much would visit again but maybe not on a Saturday night, Staff attentive, Booked and asked to pre-ordered due to party size , had to wait 20 mins on arrival for table to be ready (wasn't to much of an issue can't help people taking there time before us ) Cocktail menu extensive on the dearer side for the size of them , glass of coke came in child size cup with pint size price,had to keep requesting water didn't leave a jug/carafe, Gas out on the draught (can't be helped these things happen) but had no other options if wanting lager nothing in a bottle so either a spirit ,wine or cocktail or a thimble of coke Wait time was LONG nearly an hour to wait for starter , then seemed an age before pre-ordered mains arrived , nearly finished main before side veg I also pre-ordered arrived , Looking forward to a dessert but told at least 20/30 minute wait as chefs still had food to get out didn't bother got the bill. No complaints about the food though everyone enjoyed what they ordered .

Our food was delicious and very nicely presented. A lot of thought and care had gone into the menu choices and how the food was cooked and delivered. Cocktails were amazing and cleverly named with nice touches to go with them. I had a hot air balloon cocktail and came with a small blown up balloon and candy floss too. Great choice of wines in the menu too. Staff were very polite and attentive but without being invasive. We will definitely return. Thank you to all the team. 🙂

This was our first visit to Elements in Carlisle this week for my Husbands birthday. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They were really good with our kids and so patient. The food was beautiful and we were really impressed. We would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Wishing them lots of luck with their new business. It's also refreshing to find somewhere open on a Monday night too 😊

Elements is hands down my favorite restaurant in Carlisle. The staff's friendliness and willingness to help with food and drink recommendations truly set the dining experience apart. Their menu is unreal, unlike anything I've seen in Carlisle before. If you visit, I highly recommend trying the LAPHROAIG BELLY PORK – it's amazing! Their social media content is so good too. It's undoubtedly the best in Carlisle! Whether you're a local or just passing through Carlisle, I defo recommend giving Elements a try. Impeccable service and an innovative menu!

Myself and my husband went to Elements for dinner a couple of weeks ago and it was outstanding! We had three courses and all of them were delicious from scotch egg to scallops, steak burger to boozy birds and puddings and cocktails to die for! The staff are amazing and available for your every need. We will definitely be booking again to give the Sunday lunch menu a try 💗

I was really looking forward to our meal here tonight. As normal you turn up hungry but to be greeted with “there’s a bit of a wait because we’ve got a big order up stairs”, thought ok a wait will be 20 mins sounds ok. 60 mins later greeted with good sushi and substandard dry temaki. 25 minutes later our main course arrive, but which point dry fish (like chewing on cotton wool) and 85 minutes after walking g in anything would have done. Honestly thought about popping out to the Golden Arches to stave my insides eating themselves 45 mins in. If they knew there was a large order phone us and tell us can you turn up 30 mins later to stagger the kitchen…. Yep sounds reasonable. Left feeling significantly disappointed. Lots of apologises but nothing off the bill, no complimentary drinks, here you go full bill, a long long wait and left feeling bitterly disappointed. If you want quality food on time I’d honestly go somewhere else. If you’re unfortunate enough to be booked in have some snacks before turning up. On a positive drinks/cocktails delicious
