Element-al Eats

Alloy has always been our go-to haunt for a delectable meal. Whether a romantic dinner or a meeting with colleagues, the bright white space, peppered with cherry blossoms, is perfectly private.

Now that patio season is in sight we can’t wait to snag a seat on the eatery’s deck—and we do mean snag since there are only eight outdoor tables. Surrounded by the trunks of 50-foot trees and a waterfall that feeds into a small pool, it’s a serene dining oasis.

And the tempting new menu (think blue cheese soufflé, potato wrapped halibut and avocado garlic tortilla soup) at our fingertips, we'll be decked out all summer.
