What should I check before visiting?

Choose your day before planning a morning visit. Saturday breakfast runs from 8am to 11am; Sunday brunch runs from 11am to 3pm. These are separate service windows, not the restaurant’s full opening hours. Check the current menu for the dishes served during your visit, and use the reservation link if you want to plan a table. Element is at 421 Fayetteville Street, Suite 103, Raleigh, NC 27601, on City Plaza. Metered street parking is available on Fayetteville Street and nearby blocks, with city parking decks a short walk away. Use the contact page for full operating hours and directions. For Friday and Saturday takeout, order by 9:15pm and collect your food by 10pm; dining hours are unchanged. Reserve through the existing booking link, or use the online ordering link for pickup. For a larger private gathering, contact the events team rather than assuming that a regular table reservation covers a group booking.
