| Went to dinner tonight at Elements. We called at the last minute, and were very happy to hear that the staff had moved another party so that we could be in our beloved Cube for dinner. We had a fantastic dinner, complete with a large dessert platter on the house.
Joe, the sous chef, stopped by and mentioned that Avery Brooks, known for his role as Captain Benjamin Sisko in the Star Trek Deep Space Nine series, was dining in the restaurant at that time. He also said that he would probably be coming past us to say hello to the kitchen as he departed after dinner. We decided to stick around a few minutes to see. Mr. Brooks did indeed appear, and with the gentlest of promptings from Joe, came into the Cube to say hello to us!! |

A perfect gentleman, awake and focused. Not dismissive in the slightest, he took the time to inquire as to our names, where we lived and we found that he used to live very close by to our home. We chatted about the excellence of the staff, gave our respects to him and he and his wife left. Very very pleasant experience.
Thank you, Joe for making that happen! As a Trek fan since the first episode, this was a real treat.
