From the Pampas of Argentina and the Tulip
fields of Holland, Via the Caribbean, Florida and New Hampshire, Restauranteurs Jose Luis
and Catherine Pawelek have come full circle.
While working
at Resorts, Hotels, Cruise Lines and Restaurants, throughout the Globe, the Paweleks cultivated their love of the Hospitality
Industry and Restaurants.
They met while working on a Cruise
Ship in the Caribbean 31 years ago, she as a blackjack dealer, he as a bartender. They worked together to build
a Travel Agency and School as well as 3 successful restaurants in the Miami area, before moving
to the White Mountains of New Hampshire where they purchased and ran a Full service Country Inn
and Restaurant for 6 years.
Returning back to the sunny shores of Florida
(Saint Petersburg), they opened their restaurant in the waterfront community of Gulfport "Elements Global
Cuisine", In 2008 they had the opportunity to sell their restaurant and house and move to Las
Vegas.
After 3 months of intense searching throughout
Las Vegas, they found the perfect location that gave them a sense of community (Spanish
Trail area) and the ability to introduce their restaurant. This is where Chef Jose Luis' shines with his
home-made Bread, smaller plates (tapas) & Main courses & Pastry Chef Catherine showcases her desserts, chutney &
world famous Martini List (over 400 varieties and counting).
"Our Menu is what happens when you take Tropical Floribbean, Flavorful
Asian, Wood Grilled South American and the Classics" says Chef Jose Luis "and create a fusion of flavors and styles
with a dose of fun. We call it "Comfort Food with a Touch of Sophistication".
"Come and try some of our fresh Seafood, Wood Grilled Meats, Pasta, or Vegetarian
dishes or try some of our smaller plates with a broad choice of Wines by the Glass," adds Pastry Chef Catherine, "You
will also get a taste of Jose Luis’ homemade Artisan breads, served with his very own chutney. Then, make sure you save
room for some of my delectable homemade desserts and finish the meal with a choice of one of our 30 After Dinner Martinis".
We look forward to seeing you at our Elements Kitchen & Martini Bar!
Sincerely,
Catherine and Jose Luis
