    I've been to the other Elements restaurants in Darlinghurst and Pyrmont. This evening my friend and I wanted to try the Tomahawk steak and Tommy margarita deal, and decided to go to Walsh Bay. My experience at these restaurants thus far has been consistent. Great food, great atmosphere (especially at Walsh Bay where the views and decor are on another level) and excellent service. Tonight, Nico took our order and made sure we enjoyed our dinner and time at the venue. We ordered an entree of Buffalo Calamari to go with our tomahawk. Recommend! The tomahawk steak was incredible not only in its size but texture and flavour. It melts in your mouth! They take it out and finish preparing and cutting it at your table for added theatrics. This didn't affect me, but if you have dietary requirements, it seems like they are more than happy to accommodate your needs. Overall, I really enjoyed my time and will definitely be coming back.

    Great little experience that elevates the pylon museum to the next level. Great value and you get plenty time up top to take in the views with a glass of something nice. The staff are super accommodating and friendly and we had a great time. Would recommend.

    We came from interstate for a theatre show and wanted to eat nearby, so Jounieh was the perfect location, I was expecting the food to be good, but we were absolutely blown away. The food was impeccable, absolutely flawless, the flavours, textures and presentation were all 10/10. My partner and I both agreed it was the best meal either of us have ever had (we had the banquet with meat). The service was outstanding, so professional, attentive, but not over bearing or in your face, the decor is modern and sleek, gorgeous location, amazing food and brilliant service. 5 stars. We’re already looking at coming back early in the new year just to eat here again!
