Bar Elvina

Really delicious & good value. $55 set menu before 6pm - included option of a wagyu steak 😉

Fine dining prices for average food. Steak was decent to be fair, but served with three alfalfa sprouts left the plate a little lacking. The market fish was tasteless and plate uninspiring. The waiter also confused the order and bought the incorrect main. 3 stars at a stretch.

The absolute cutest vibe and atmosphere. The staff are all very pleasant and friendly. The interior is gorgeous, coastal and light and the outside balcony is so open and lovely. The food is all delicious, especially the carrots, sashimi, prawns and lamb shoulder. At one point there was a cockatoo swinging around a sign and all the guests stopped to watch and laugh. It was such a warm atmosphere and a gorgeous place to eat. It also had an extensive wine list with descriptions of the wines.

I hosted my 21st birthday at Bar Elvina in their upstairs courtyard and private function room for myself and 45 guests. The service from Claudia and Lucy was incredible, they were attentive, warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. They made sure the night ran smoothly, the canapés arrived quickly (and tasted amazing) and the drinks were flowing. I had such a fun evening thanks to the team at Bar Elvina and recommend them for anyone wanting to do an intimate but fun birthday celebration!

We had the steak and the shoulder of lamb. Both were exceptional. Good to see they had local Avalon beer. The highlight was the Tirimisu. This was part of the First Table membership, (50% off for meals, no other conditions ) so the whole dinner was great value.

Had my Birthday lunch here with a bunch of friends. Food was great, staff were awesome and the place had a great vibe. Would highly recommend for an event or just lunch or dinner. Will definitely be back again. They were able to cater for a variety of different dietary needs without any issue and were able to deal with our booking changing multiple times throughout the week. Nothing was too hard for Andy and his team.

It saddens me to write a review like this for a business, however we have had a shocking experience with Bar Elvina. Whilst our dining experience was nice, we were accidentally over charged $500 (for a large group). We understand mistakes happen and this is okay. However, it has now been almost 3 weeks since the booking and the refund hasn't even been processed. We were assured on the spot that the refund would be back in our account 2-3 business days. We have called the restaurant twice to follow up, both times with very vague responses and no urgency to process the refund. I have also sent 2 emails to the owner, however still no refund. Super disappointing and unprofessional as we are talking about a significant amount being overcharged here and no real care to re-imburse customers. Check your bill thoroughly when dining here guys.

Amazing decor, vibe and delicious food. Could not fault everything that we ordered that night. The staff are really friendly and happy to have a chat or make recommendations about the menu. Loved the balcony section of the restaurant.
