éléments Bar & Dining @ Mercure Resort Hunter Valley Gardens

I and 6 girlfriends had dinner here and the menu was reasonably priced for a French restaurant. We had three courses and all was good except I opted for the crepes which spoilt my overall meal somewhat. The orange sorbet had already melted by the time the dish came to the table and the crepes were swimming in butter which was all I could taste and smell. My friends had other desserts which they said tasted good. I had ocean trout for my main meal which was good but too many olives on the top which overpowered the taste of the trout.

Well priced, great wine selection, big servings and delicious food. Staff and service is great. Nice spot for dinner.

Wait staff extremely friendly and professional and very helpful. Entrée arrived at reasonable time but main was some time later. When we questioned the lateness of our main meal we were given a sincere apology with no lame excuses and our main arrive shortly after. Food is a high quality and delicious. Not an extensive menu but enough choices to satisfy most patrons.

A nice atmosphere and really comfy chairs but we went for dinner and they make you order at least two courses for a fixed cost (optional; to order three), however i can never manage to eat two whole courses, that is too much food for me. Also my lamb rack was really quite undercooked to the extent I found it hard to rip the meat off the bones with my teeth. No apology was offered.

Lights at Hunter Valley Gardens well worth the trip. The Gardens Village has some great shops. Elements Restaurant for dining and wineries close by. Mercure the place to stay.
