Elysium Restaurant & Bar - Redland City

Finally management has realised that this site is in the Redlands and not Fortitude Valley. Refrubishments have resulted in a great atmosphere at a great location. Gone is the night club feel and even the staff have stopped looking and acting like they were working in a late night night club. Now if you can just turn the boom box down a fraction you may finally get Redlanders using this place as there first choice for food and refreshments

Went to Elysium tonight for wife's birthday dinner. Booked earlier in week and so glad as place was packed with one group of over 30. We were greeted and seated and bottled tap water brought immediately. We ordered the blackboard special of slow cooked beef cheeks in red wine jus for the Mrs and the Spanish pizza for your yes truly. Both arrived Wednesday thin 15 minutes and given number of patrons in restaurant this time was far quicker than expected. The beef cheeks were, from what I was told, very tender and tasty and the accompanying Parmesan mash was creamy and very tasty. The Spanish pizza was built on a crisp base with a good assortment of ingredients. Whilst containing chorizo the sausage did not overpower the subtle flavours of the other ingredients. On to dessert. Sticky date pudding for me with praline ice cream for the birthday girl. Pudding melted in the mouth and caramel sauce was yummy. The ice cream came as a block covered in shards of crunchy praline and overall very impressive indeed.Given the large number of patrons the service throughout was superb with water, drinks and food being delivered efficiently and table clearance happening seamlessly.We had a lovely night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We will be back.

Ate Sunday Lunch there today....Good Atmosphere, Good food and Great Service. Thumbs up all round for a decent cafe.

Had a free meal with the entertainment guide so went to find this place. Parked in the wrong spot, the Sat nav took us in too early but we had a nice lttle walk around a shopping area and then found this little gem. Had seat overlooking lake, turtles swimming by. Thereis a $15 lunch menu but the vocher was for a meal so we chose three meals... one chose Barrumundi. The waitress thencameback to let us knwo that the $15 fish meal was Barra so she had swapped the order to make it a better deal. What a great thing to do.. we are definatley going back.. Food was great.. steak large and well cooked for my taste. Drinks reasonable prices.. good range of beers.

Great place - you can sit outside on the deck overlooking the lake or stay inside.there is a bar and also a dance floorStaff are friendly and service was great, with the waiter recommending their dishes when we were not sure what to pick. And their suggestion was perfect.Would recommend a look.
