Dining room at elements restaurant in Princeton, NJ, which focuses on fresh, local, farm-to-table ingredients and providing the ultimate dining experience


As all ingredients on both Mistral and elements’ menus are sourced locally from sustainable purveyors, they are able to guarantee the freshness and limited usage (if any) of unnecessary fats and sugars. This holds true whether they are cooking for one diner or for a group of diners, Anderson asserts.


"Healthy dining is delicious dining. Our focus is always to extract the purest fla- vors out of each ingredient while using impeccably sourced products from the best farms, butchers, fisheries, and more that we can find. By extracting the purest flavors, there is less of a need to drown the dish in a heavy sauce or add sugars and artificial flavoring to the dish,” explains Anderson.


“We let a lot of natural flavors speak for themselves. None of our dishes will be too salty, too creamy or unnaturally fla- vorful. Simplicity is key at Mistral and ele- ments, creating both flavorful and healthy options for everyone," he adds.


Going beyond the food, a private dining room’s atmosphere can make or break a client’s decision to book their event in a particular restaurant. Anderson says that, for this reason, it is important that the room is reflective of the local taste and style of the client who is booking it. “We find that clients also look for spaces that are conducive to conversation, with intel- ligent staff that meet all of your event needs. Our space at Mistral privately can


hold up to 125 guests and can host semi- private events for groups of all-sizes. The space is open, airy and sociable with larges splashes of Mediterranean colors."


"At elements,” he continues, “the space embodies our naturalistic, minimalistic philosophy. We have two private dining rooms - one that holds up to 10 guests and another that holds up to 25 guests - as well as a main dining room buyout that can accommodate up to 40 guests, seated. Our private dining spaces pro- vide all amenities needed for events of all-types, from corporate gatherings to


intimate anniversary parties to large mile- stone celebrations, including audio-visu- al, TV screens and more."


These restaurants represent a growing movement that continues to push toward healthy, fresh and locally sourced ingredi- ents in both restaurant and catering cui- sine.


While trends in dining tend to ebb and flow, this growing movement seems to be one that’s not only flourishing today, but is one that is here to stay for the longterm.
