Located at 248 Palmer Street, Darlinghurst, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant. I have been to this Elements location a few times now and have loved it every time I came, this time I came with my friend and again we had a exceptional experience. I had the 300g scotch fillet with green peppercorn sauce which was cooked to perfection but I really loved the prawn entree. My friend had the salmon with potato purée. She was really happy with her meal. The service was exceptional, the staff were so welcoming and friendly, totally professional. The prices were so worth coming back to Elements. The restaurant is designed so tastefully, creating a really relaxing atmosphere. I can’t wait to try out the other locations. I have been to the one at Walsh Bay and that was fantastic also. I would not hesitate to recommend. A Big Thumbs Up from me! 👍👍👍
My server was Antoinette. She was super great, five stars all the way. Her recommendation were spot on and to my liking. First impressions are long lasting. I'm visiting from Japan on business, but it was a pleasure dinning at this establishment.
A returning customers, had the sirloin steaks this time and it was fantastically cooked medium rare. Although, personally, it is not as flavourful as the beef brisket we had last time, but it is soft and juicy. The ribs on the other hand was amazing, soft, tender, with flavours seeping into the meat. Services was amazing, attentive, and friendly as well! Highly recommend!
We ordered a bunch of stuff to try out. We had the brisket steak, the pork ribs, the buffalo chicken wings… it was all amazing! The brisket steak was super soft and easy to eat. The pork ribs had so much flavour. Our waitress was Antonette and she was the loveliest person ever. She was very attentive to our needs and kept looking over when we wanted something.
Went to book for dinner at Elements Smokehouse in Darlinghurst.The service was superb. The staff are excellent especially our wait staff Nikki. Very smiling and very accomodating. She always ensure that we are comfortable and enjoying the food and drinks. I highly recommend this place. The food we ordered was sumptuous. We left the place very satisfied.
Great open space for large groups and parties. Service attentive. Food was well cooked and tasty. Brisket was supposed to be not spicey but the top was so kids were not impressed. And needed a bit more sauce.
Antonnettes serving was very good.
Antonette
Great food and friendly service. A delightful experience all around! Hats off to bartender Nirmal for the best cocktails
Loved the overall vibes and service provided. Especially Nirmal the bartender was so good and welcoming. This place is surely our goto place for dine in and any events. 10/10 overall
Since I discovered this bar, there is no need to search for others. Loved the food, variety of drinks and desserts. Must recommended to anyone searching a spot near city.
Hands down the best steak i have had in my life would highly recommend. The chips where amazing the only thing they could do better is have a better selection of beers
Title: T-Bones? More like T-Blehhh. If youre considering this place for their so-called famous T-bone steak, save yourself the regret and just gnaw on a shoe instead itll be more flavorful and less traumatic. I don t know what kind of animal this steak came from, but I m pretty sure it had a rough life. The texture was somewhere between a wet sponge and a flip-flop, and the flavor? Let s just say, if you ve ever wondered what dog shit tastes like (and who hasn t?), this place has you covered. To add insult to injury, they had the audacity to charge $77 for this monstrosity. For that price, I d expect the chef to at least pretend to have seasoning in the kitchen. But no, the seasoning was as absent as my will to live after choking down three bites of this atrocity. Even the server seemed apologetic when she placed it in front of me, like she knew I was about to make a terrible life decision. Do yourself a favor: skip the T-bone and go straight to therapy instead. You ll need it.
Good food. good portions. Good atmosphere. Antoinette our server was amazing. The cocktails were next level.
Antonette is an amazing hostess And the food was fantastic
Antoinette gave friendly efficient service with a smile. The food (meat) was delicious and cooked to perfection.
Elements is the best brisket in my life!!! The service is also very satisfying and ganesh is very kindddd
We went to your restaurant, thinking it would be the Elements bar and grill we know, but found that it was now the Elements Smokehouse. We have dishes we love from you, but unfortunately we werent able to get our favourite dishes from this different restaurant. Unfortunately the T-bone steak we ordered as medium well done was actually quite rare, we shared this with the waiter, and he said we could put it back on the grill, but as we had already started eating it, and had the sauce on it, this wasnt really an option. It was also my friends 50th birthday, and there was no effort to celebrate her birthday even though i had put it in the reservation, so we were very disappointed with the night in general, We have been to Elements about 8 or 9 times and have never been disappointed with anything there. So this was especially disappointing for us. We will not be coming back.
Great food, awesome service top it off with super cozy atmosphere and you got yourself a lovely night out!
We visited the restaurant after the 2024 Sydney Marathon. Perfect place to enjoy. The baby back rib was awesome, beer was perfect, our server Nikki was super kind and professional.
Food was gooOoOOoOd. THANK QUEEE!
I would like to thank Johnny, who was approachable and professional person in this restaurant Vegetarian options: Limited options, but good quality
Thank you Johnny! Food was great, atmosphere and service too Parking: Paid 2 hour parking
Many thanks to Johnny for his attention, recommendations, and excellent service. Everything was delicious.
Thanks Johnny! Youre amazing we had a great time and even better service.
Staff were really attentive and made great recommendations (shout out Johnny!). The brisket was excellent, the beef ribs were really good, but not as tender as expected. The space is nice and open, but would advise you bring a jumper/jacket for cooler evenings as when the wind picks up it can be a little chilly. Would reccommend! Oh also great drinks, loads of non alcoholic options too
Very good dîner and moment.! Johnny was very Nice and he speaks a Little French .!! The meat was excellent and the dessert too.! We are in hollyday from new CALEDONIA and we will go back at the next trip with pleasure. Thanks you Steph and Julie
The service is good and the food too. Recommended.
Antonnette was great. She gave speedy and polite service, I would come back just because of her.

Good food 10/10
Shoutout Ganesh ! What an experience. Will be back!
Brisket burger and steaks are great. Very nice food. However I think this place was let down by service. Although earnest, the staff got a few things wrong, were late- a bit of more polished effort would get a better review.
Great service and excellent food! Great value for your money considering the quality!
Fantastic service. Kid-friendliness: Great Food : 5/5 |
This is a place where delicious steaks and a fun atmosphere go hand in hand! I want to come visit again next time!
Nikki was lovely and had great customer service and the food was delicious! will definitely come back when I visit Sydney again :)

We had a wonderful dinner. We enjoyed the half ribs and T-bone steak, and we asked for a wine pairing recommendation. Antonette recommended a wine that was absolutely satisfying. Her excellent service made our evening even more perfect. This place offers incredible value for money. You can enjoy a hearty meal at a reasonable price. The semi-outdoor setting adds to the atmosphere, which is lively and vibrant. It was a great time overall, and we truly enjoyed the experience.
What an amazing first experience, Antonnette was our waitress and made sure we were well looked after. Definitely be back, thank you.
Great service. Especially Antonnette
I have been a frequent patron of this establishment with my now-fiancé, and we both have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. However, our recent experience was disappointing. We had booked a meal to celebrate our engagement at the Woolloomooloo location, which had experienced a fire incident just days before our reservation, which is extremely unfortunate and hopefully not a big blow to the staff at this venue. The management staff failed to inform us of this issue. Upon contacting the venue after arriving by Uber, we were only offered an apology over the phone. We were then instructed to go to the Darlinghurst location, with assurances that they would make a booking for us. This required us to pay for another Uber ride to the new venue. Upon arrival at Darlinghurst, the manager greeted us with, You only have 1.5 hours here. Additionally, the menu was entirely different from what we expected, and no one informed us that the offerings were not the same as those at the Woolloomooloo or Pyrmont locations. The food and the management were far below expectations, and as a result, we will not be returning to this particular Elements venue.
it was great. The staff are very kind, the food was good, too
Revolting. Wagyu brisket a slimy, fatty strap of meat, drenched in a sickly sweet marinade, so strong you could have been eating anything underneath it. A side sauce, ketchup posing as a hot sauce, once again sweet. No idea about flavours; a sad waste of cow. Wine, a $21 glass of Malbec, shouldve been safe, but this was cheap, bottom of the barrel drinking, young and no fun; they shouldve cooked with it for a far better outcome all around. Music, banging Aussie summer anthems. If the food doesnt give you indigestion the music will. Crowd, fat bogans, who appeared to be stuffing the swill down happily. So, its probably just me. Service, lovely chaps, friendly and accommodating. But so what, Id have preferred better food and foul staff. 0/10, zero stars.
The food was delicious and the portions were huge
Fabulous Steak frites cooked to a perfect rare. They seemed a little understaffed but the staff were very friendly. Wish we could have enjoyed a longer visit there but will keep in mind for future Sydney trips.
Nikki was amazing. Good customer service
Great customer service by Nikki! 10/10
Did I order the wrong menu? The ribs tasted like sauce, but maybe it was because it was windy and cold The sauce and meat were all dry I walked with difficulty Wow~~! It wasnt worth it. The service is good, but its a bit disappointing.
Great restaurant, amazing atmosphere and service, and the food was delicious! Our waiter was incredibly friendly and accomodating and will def be back again :)
Great night!
Our server Antoinette was great!
Amazing food, really wonderful service. Antonnette was lovely.
Thanks Antoinette for an amazing time! We WILL be back!

Great service from Nikki
Elements Bar and Grill was outstanding! The food was top quality, and the service was exceptional. Our waitress, Antoinette, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and checked in on us throughout the meal. Highly recommend! Parking: Great parking
1.Ambiance is good 2.The staff is friendly and thank you for your service Nikki. 3. The food especially the meat were 10/10. If I have opportunity to visit Sydney back again they will be my first choice for dinner Thank you for your service
Im not sure why this is so well rated... Everything was cooked correctly but the cut of sirloin was really not very good and let down the meal overall. Rib fillet would probably work better instead. Other than that the mash was good and the fries were great but they were much too heavily seasoned. Ive only eaten here once so perhaps I got unlucky.
Thank you Antonnette was very responsive and spoke to me slowly even though I was not familiar with English I would like to visit Australia again.
Great food and service, especially from Antonette, very accommodating
Great food, great service! Thanks for taking care of us, Antonette! :)
Thank you so much to the gorgeous miss antonette
Excellent service, great food, love the vibe
Everything is perfect. All thanks to Antonnette.

Staff Antonnette is so kind. Thank you so much :) We had a good dinner
The restaurant is so nice! Especially, Antonnette who serves is so kind! Thank you for your service!
Excellent service by Antonette, very attentive. Food was lovely and atmosphere too. Just a little chilly as we didnt realize so much of the restaurant was outside.
Great food and atmosphere and exceptional service by Antoinette. Would go again.
The staff was friendly, the riverside atmosphere was nice, the pasta and steak were delicious, and the wine was cheap.

This food was so good; it made me tear up. I would also like to thank Antonette. Her service really made this the best experience possible. Please open a store in Queensland
Antionette was very attentive and made sure we were satisfied throughout our meal. Would return definitely! Food
The food was delicious, and our server, Antonnette, was incredibly friendly and attentive.
Mate Vik gave us the best dinner of our lives! Will be going back
Nikki is friendly and delicious~ It tastes best just dipped in salt!
Nikky very nice! I searched for a steak restaurant and went there, and the atmosphere was great and the taste was good. The server in charge was also very friendly, as the reviews say. Personally, I recommend T-bone or sirloin steak over seasoned chicken or barbecue!
The food is so good! The service given by the lovely Nikki is top tier! Hope to see you soon.
Amazing food! Highly recommend
Great food, friendly staff, and food presentation was very cool!
I wish I hadn t wasted my time, money and hunger in this place. Everything tasted artificial, We had loaded fries which were terrible, Birria tacos were uneatable, the meat full of fat chunks. The only decent thing was the wings. Also tried Brisket burger that came with a nice smokey presentation but flavor wise terrible. Do not recommend this place, don t be fooled by the 4+ stars.
Very nice place near the center of Sydney, the meat served is very good.
Everything is gooood
All you can eat was a delicious meat treat!
Amazing ribs and briskets
Fantastic ribs and briskets, the service was immaculate a 10/10 dining experience
First time there and it was definitely an experience. We had a group of more than 10 people, meaning we could only choose between the set menu or all you can eat fries and meat. We ended up opting for the all you can eat in the end, and let me tell you we were stuffed!! They brought out fries for the whole table first, and then steaks, then ribs. These portion sizes were sooo big, it felt like a food challenge the cocktails were delicious and added to the food experience. Be sure to go on an empty stomach haha The staff were amazing, making sure that we were enjoying ourselves, and because I was wearing something quite nice, a staff member put a bib on me which I honestly appreciated soo much We did not feel rushed, and were able to enjoy the night without looking at the clock. Definitely recommend as a once off, and since it s a bit of a walk to the station you ll be able to stretch afterwards. Dietary restrictions: My partner has a dairy allergy and peanut allergy. We called up ahead to confirm it was allergy friendly, and they told us to be sure to remind our waitress/waiter. We did on the night, and they were able to cook the meat separately for my partner so he could enjoy the experience with us. Don t be afraid to ask! !
Great food, great service. Our server Ganesh was very attentive and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed
Very good steak restaurant. T-bone is 74 Australian dollars 500G. I like the taste. The mushroom sauce is very friendly to the mature meat and adds a tender texture. The recommended grilled corn, I think is okay, it would be much better with sauce. The atmosphere is great and the place is very popular. Its very comfortable to sit outside with the cool breeze blowing. Its a worthwhile trip.
Thanks so much for fitting my reservation in last minute, food was incredible and I loved my meal and Peaky blinder cocktail, both were divine.
Fantastic food, excellent service. Will 100% be back. Wish we had one of these in Melbourne haha.
It was so, so delicious The service from the staff is also great!! suggestion!!!!
taste of dog
The food was good, but the service was not satisfied. chicken wings are way too much salty. I paide over $170, the service was not worth it.
Food is really good and antonette gives good service
Very good food. Our server antonette is really good
Great service, but probably one of the worst bbq meat places Ive tried. Cant believe how dry the brisket was.
Just wildly mid, service was great, food was just reheated bland bbq. Sad to say!
recommend! The best steak I ve ever had in Sydney
The two male employees responded kindly even though they were busy. The T-bone steak was excellent and medium rare was just right. The atmosphere was appropriate and the fried sweat potatoes were delicious.
The steak and ribs were really delicious. The staff were friendly and we had a pleasant dinner. The atmosphere of the store was nice and the wine was delicious.
The food was great, but the service from the staff was extraordinary. Thank you for being so accomodating, attentive and welcoming.
Great place. Food was great, but the real gem was the service. Barman and host especially, both who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience.
Tried both the crab shack burger, but couldnt eat it because it was too strong (comes from someone who has eaten a California Reaper burger). Their blue cheese chicken was really good! Can highly recommend the place!
Good, antonnette was very helpful
Great meal, excellent service by Antoinette. Give this place a try!
Amazing time spent So good place to hang out Suggestion: live music would be great Parking: Nice
Place was a vibe with lots of food to choose from. Heaps of seatings indoor and out. Food was very filling and great selections of fancy & creative alcohols to choose as well. Dinner was delicious and staff were friendly! Recommended

Jony was very kind and nice Best food in town Parking: In the street
Food was great and well seasoned! Had the Brisket. Antonette was our server and she was great, constantly attending to us. Other staff members helped as well between visits. Only negative is brisket has very little sauce. I asked for more and was charged $4 for some extra BBQ sauce.
Great food and service; thanks Antoinette!
A one time experience. I wanted ribs, and Instagram ( ) suggested element smokehouse Darlinghurst. Getting a table was quite easy. The welcoming was nice and service tops. Antonette who looked after us was lovely and made sure we were well taken care. I usually head to hurricane for ribs, I gave element a crack and was satisfied well my belly was hahaha good protein. Ready for another rack. .
