Elemental

My favorite restaurant I've eaten at in the past year or so is Elemental at Gasworks. Its tiny (five tables), hidden at the end of a dead end residential street, open five days a week, and the menu is different every week. It is better however if you don't bother to look at the menu and simply place your self in the capable hands of the husband and wife duo of owners. They will bring you a parade of simple yet flawlessly crafted dishes and unsolicited wine pairings with each course, multiple pairings for some courses. When I ate there we left stuffed and drunk for right around 60 dollars total per person. Which is a fabulous deal. Also there's no tipping at elemental. Since only 3 people work there they make the cost of service included in the food prices. I think that's a pretty awesome idea.
