Amazing brunch with excellent service and curated THC/Canna drinks. I only dropped the rating on noise because there was a Sunday brunch DJ and it was a little loud but the music was awesome.

The steak is nearly indiscernible from real meat in texture and the flavor is exquisite. Element Gastropub is a must visit if you are looking for delicious vegetarian meals.
