A casual fine dining American restaurant in Manahawkin, NJ, minutes from Long Beach Island, offering a diverse menu of steak, seafood, sushi, and elevated comfort food in a relaxed, come-as-you-are setting for everything from weeknight dinners to special occasions.
Multi-Family owned and operated
Just minutes from Long Beach Island (LBI), Element Restaurant & Bar has been a go-to spot for both locals and travelers since 2013. Built on a foundation of hospitality, heart, and high-quality cuisine, Element was founded by the Cheng family and continues to welcome guests looking for a memorable meal just off the island. Today, the next generation proudly carries that vision forward alongside the same dedicated team that’s been part of the experience since day one.
Family at the Core
At Element, “family” is more than a label; it’s how we operate. With multiple families working side-by-side in our kitchen and dining room, we’ve created a space where guests feel at home. This connection extends to our menu, which features original family recipes, including our best-selling handmade Crab and Cheese Wontons, crafted by our founders.
