Reviews Summary
Elements Bar & Dining offers a pleasant atmosphere with an extensive wine list and generally well-prepared dishes. While many guests praise the flavors of items like Prawns with Avocado and Scallops, some diners have found certain dishes disappointing or noted issues with portion sizes and value for money. Service is often described as friendly and attentive, though occasionally slow during busy periods. The ambiance, while generally quiet, has been noted as needing an uplift by some.
"Location: In the Hunter Valley (Pokolbin, NSW).
Service: Pretty good, not many were inside at the time we were in, but the waitress was delightful & very friendly to chat about her negative experiences.
Decor: Nice seats, a decorative large wall mirror with a collective array of wines on display.
I noticed the outside ceiling ledges sagging down slightly from water damage underneath the tiles though!
Spider webs on lights & paneling outside.
Atmosphere: Was good & quiet.
Bathrooms: Were big, clean & could probably use an upgrade.
Value for money: $62 for a two course meal & the portion sizes were decent but we believe a small salad or vegetables should have been included for the price.
Drinks: Very big & extensive wine list.
Food: Tremendous flavours with the Prawns with Avocado & dish. Salmon dish with pea puree was cooked perfectively, just lacking a side of veggies or salad.
Mushroom tart with a perfectively poached egg & steamed asparugus was very nice!
The Scallops was a delight to have as an entree as well.
Synopsis: Would highly recommend & would go dine in again! 🙂 AAA+++"

"Good restaurant. Excellent customer service from staff, whom are friendly and attentive. Food was well presented and tasted great. The dining atmosphere needs an uplift, apart from that, overall it was good."
Chris H
"Great food. Lost one star for:
- Limited AccorPlus benefits at bar section (10% off dining, instead of the usual up to 50% off)
- Brody being attentive only to customers ordering wine
- Atlantic salmon dish: bacon pieces in the mashed potatoes (menu says “colcannon potatoes” - restaurant should be more mindful of dietary restrictions and allergies)
- Bar menu also quite limited; there are only so many times one can eat the Seafood Chowder!
- Desert had some fried cookie dough balls that were not cooked in the middle
Overall good food"
