Cool Restaurant Menu: Elements Bistro & Grill

Its name is a clue—this polished casual restaurant models its menu after the periodic table of elements. Each menu component is a bright square block of color with a different abbreviation. On the Food side, Starters are listed under “St,” Entrees under “En,” and “De” stands for desserts. Drinks are similarly noted; “Mr” for Martinis, “Br” for Beer, etc. The tagline is “the periodically updated table menu at Elements.”
