A good place to celebrate special occasions. The food was bursting with flavours and the staff was very attentive, polite and sensitive to providing incredible experience. At first, I was a bit taken aback when we were told that our sitting was only for 1.5hrs. On the menu, the steak's estimated time to cook was 45mins or more. I was thinking, how can we enjoy the experience when we only have a few minutes to eat after the food was served? I was thinking that what they claim online that they don't rush the diners to enjoy the experience wasn't true? Also, dismayed when we were advised the Tomahawk steak we ordered will be carved far from our table due to space constraints, and, we were further told that we can just stand to take photos for the experience, especially, dismayed seeing that the carving table was set at high foot traffic & everyone passing through where placing their hands on the carving table for support. I was already feeling dissatisfied but chose to just be quiet and not express our disappointment. We sincerely appreciate how Lash counter our dismay by assuring us that we can extend our sitting, he was vouching for us. We were also surprised that he managed to set up a new carving station close to our table without us asking for it. It goes to show that he and his team was extra attentive to the diners. Overall, Lash made our 8th year wedding anniversary celebration memorable, he and his team made us feel comfortable and valued. To my surprise, we were actually done in 1.5hrs. 😊 The food was top notch and the steak was perfectly marbled and cooked. It was worth the experience. We commend Lash for being able to turn our experience around, from dissapoining to a joyful one. Fantastic save. We will definitely be going back to try the pasta dish and the wagyu steak. We will get our friends to dine here too. 😊

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Elements Bar and Grill, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to Maddie's amazing service. From the moment we walked in, Maddie greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel incredibly welcome. She expertly guided us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of our meal was tailored to our preferences. Throughout the evening, Maddie's attentiveness never wavered. She was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and ensuring that our glasses were never empty. Her genuine enthusiasm for her job was evident in every interaction, making our dining experience truly memorable. Not only was Maddie attentive and professional, but she also exuded a genuine passion for hospitality that elevated our dining experience to new heights.

Our adventure at Elements Bar and Grill was, well, an interesting one, to say the least. We strolled in fashionably late at 7:45 for our 7:30 reservation, but don't fret; we had dialed ahead to inform them of our tardiness, and they graciously understood (it just comes out of your seating time). Little did we know, our timely courtesy was probably unnecessary because we found ourselves twiddling our thumbs for nearly an hour before food graced our table. The drama kicked off with the appearance of the sirloin steak tartare. Starving and a bit woozy from sipping on wine without a morsel in sight, we were disheartened to find only a quartet (4) of crackers accompanying the tartare. With one bite each, it was clear we needed more, so we made our polite request. Fifteen minutes passed, and we decided to hit up a second server for extra crackers. Eventually, another four crackers materialized, and we later discovered we'd been charged a princely sum of 5 dollars for the privilege. Yes, you read that right—$1.25 per cracker. Perhaps they were handcrafted by monks atop a sacred mountain, though. They did have an epic presentation, resting on a massive stone tray surrounded by decorative salt and garnishes. But alas, still not enough cracker lol After what felt like an eternity, our main courses graced our table. The steaks? Well, let's just say they fell squarely into the "meh" category—neither gross nor wow-worthy. That hour-plus wait? It simply wasn't justified. You know that feeling when you wait, but the food is so incredible that you don't mind? Well, this wasn't one of those times. We cared. The mashed potatoes were subpar, and the watercress salad surprisingly stole the show. But when the best thing you eat at a steakhouse is a salad, it raises an eyebrow or two. Kudos to the waitstaff, though. They remained lovely and gracious throughout the marathon of slow service and mediocre eats. So, there you have it—our amusing journey through Elements Bar and Grill. It may not have been a culinary masterpiece, but at least it left us with a memorable tale to tell.

We came here on 15 Janaury 2024. I liked the atmosphere. We ordered garlic bread and deep-fried calamari as entrees. I ordered a glass of Sauv. Blanc, as I always love to start with chilled white wine with seafood entrees. Then red wine for the main steak. Garlic bredlad was disappointing as I felt the bread was not fresh. But we enjoyed the calamari. Unfortunately, my initial experience went bit sour due to the white wine I ordered. The white wine (Sauv Blanc) was served at just below room temperature, and I asked if there was a chilled wine. Apparently, they dont serve chilled white wine, and this is the normal practice of any steak house. So they can pair white wine with steak. Well, I was paring it with calamari though. Anyway, I gave genuine feedback that you may want to keep both chilled and room temperature ones. So you can serve according to the customer's request. Again, i got shut down advising that it is all Elements Bar's rule that they have to follow. In the end, the waiter suggested putting my glass of wine in the freezer for 10 minutes. So I ate calamari without my white wine for 10 minutes. At least the waiter tried. But I really want to hear from the owner if this is the real rule of the steak restaurant not to serve chilled white wine. Can you please comment about this? Was I wrong asking for a chilled white wine? The steak (Rip Eye 600g) was cooked nicely. The quality of the meat was good. My wife had a squid inked prawn pasta. It was nice as well. The dessert presentation was nice. But the taste was just below average that you could get from a supermarket Overall, I enjoyed the steak and experience. But I am not sure if I want to visit again. If I ever going, that is because it is only 5 minutes from my home. I went Steason's steak many times. But not sure if I want to try here again. May be if they serve chilled white wine? Haha.

Spectacular food but customer service could be better. Went for the tomahawk night with family and pram. Made the reservation online, stating we have a pram and is our wedding anniversary. We were only offered the table at the entrance because the pram would not fit any other tables without interrupting other guests. Not pleased at all given the entrance had little air conditioning and lots of people traffic (esp they had lots of staff rushing in and out and to the bar). The upbeat dance music also made me feel like everything was rushed. Not quite the experience i hoped for. Second disappointing thing was that their reservation asked if there’s any special occasion for the booking. Indeed it was our wedding anniversary so I put down notes again in the booking. When we finished the food and ordered dessert and asked if there’s any celebratory things for the dessert, the staff asked what occasion it was (not sure if they’re trying to justify if my occasion is worth celebrating?) , and the best they can do is a sparkle candle, that’s fine, but they lit it way before the cake reached our table and did not even offer to help with the photo. Not nice. However, despite everything, food was amazingly delicious. It would be better in entree was delivered before the mains though , another weird thing.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and decent food. However staff were a bit too overbearing to trying to get us to buy drinks. I chose a watermelon mocktail, which was quite nice, but the waitress was quite overbearing in pressuring my brother into buying a drink too, which was pointless for him as he does not enjoy sweet drinks or alcohol. Sure, ask if they too would like a drink, but I found it a little bit rude that she singled him out for not getting a drink. Steak tartare had a great flavor, but had large chunks of connective tissue in it which hurt to chew, got stuck in my teeth, and overall just made the dish miss its full potential. The steaks were nicely cooked too, rare as I liked it. However the MBS7+ score of the wagyu rump that I ordered didn't really seem correct, as the piece of meat I had was quite lean and so were everyone else's who ordered the wagyu. It was still flavorful, but lacked any sense of fat marbling in the meat. Perhaps this is normal with rump, but it unfortunately did not meet expectations given the relatively high marbling rating. Given that the price of food here is relatively expensive for the quality and taste, I find it hard to recommend this place nor return given the competition.
