Elements will be moving from its current location on Bayard Lane to the second floor above Mistral, on 66 Witherspoon Street, according to dining blogger Rosie Saferstein. This will reduce the seating capacity of Elements, but will allow Mistral to share its liquor license.

The survey used 140,000 reviews by more than 4,000 diners who rank restaurants based on quality and quantity. Element’s ranking puts Anderson in the company of esteemed chefs like José Andrés, Thomas Keller, Grant Achatz and Dan Barber.
