"Like many Design District restaurants, Elastika is consumed with appearances. It’s located in The Moore building, and the first thing you’ll notice when you walk in is Zaha Hadid’s installation, Elastika (where the restaurant gets its name). It stretches above the dining room, looming over guests drinking $22 cocktails. But food is ultimately Elastika’s focus and it demands your attention too. The menu uses whatever’s locally in season to produce beautifully plated dishes with a consistent emphasis on vegetables. The food makes sense with our climate too. This means refreshing flavors in the summer that work better than your car’s struggling A/C. Taking on a space like this is daunting but Elastika's food lives up to the design." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
