    I was thrilled to be there for Third Street Social’s 10th Birthday — and the all‑day Happy Hour was the perfect way to celebrate. Lunch was a win: my Turkey Club and sweet potato fries were absolutely delicious. Adam, our server, deserves a shout‑out. He was attentive, patient, and on top of everything. The place was busy way beyond a normal Tuesday lunch. Despite the crowd, our food came out fast and fresh. My only regret? Not saving room for one of their award‑winning desserts. Next time for sure! Happy Birthday, Third Street Social — here’s to another decade of great food and good vibes.

    We arrived a bit early for our reservation but were welcome in and seated with no problem. It was obvious that the person who greeted us had paid attention to the details of our reservation and preliminary requests because we were addressed by name. This made us feel immediately comfortable and welcome. Service was fast and efficient, and the food was presented in an appealing manner. There were three people in our party and each of us enjoyed our meals. Each freshly prepared meal included a beverage (tea or coffee), salad, entree with sides, and dessert. All in all, our visit to Elements Destination Restaurant was a unique experience and well worth the drive.
