Terms & Conditions

Last updated 12 August 2026

By making a reservation with Elements Dining Group, you acknowledge and agree to the following Terms & Conditions. They apply at every Elements Dining Group venue.

1 · Reservation Commitment

  • At Elements Dining Group, we value genuine reservations. When you reserve a table with us, we hold that table for you and look forward to welcoming you.
  • If your plans change, we ask that you give us sufficient notice so the table can be made available to another guest.
  • A credit card authorisation may be required to secure a booking.

2 · Table Allocation

  • Specific tables are not allocated or guaranteed prior to arrival.
  • Tables are allocated on the day according to availability, operational requirements and, where relevant, weather conditions.

3 · Seating Time

  • Reservations are allocated a seating time of up to 1.5 hours for groups of up to 7 guests and up to 2 hours for groups of 8 guests or more.
  • These seating times are strictly maintained on Fridays, Saturdays and Special Event Days and remain subject to availability on other days.

4 · Group Dining & Set Menus

  • Bookings of 10 guests or more require one of our Group Dining Set Menu options.
  • Alternative dining arrangements for larger groups may be considered upon request, subject to management approval, availability and any applicable additional charges.

5 · Deposits, Pre-Orders & Premium Wagyu

  • For Set Menus or pre-orders, a minimum deposit of $300 may be required for bookings of 6 to 7 guests and a minimum deposit of $500 may be required for bookings of 8 guests or more.
  • Different payment terms may apply to pre-orders, Set Menus, Premium Wagyu and other special arrangements. These may require a deposit, minimum deposit or prepayment.
  • Where applicable, the specific payment, cancellation and forfeiture terms will be disclosed before you confirm the relevant order or arrangement.

6 · Cancellations, No-Shows & Changes in Guest Numbers

  • For standard reservations, cancellations or changes to guest numbers made more than 48 hours before the reservation time incur no charge.
  • We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, including illness. However, once a reservation enters the 48-hour period, the table and associated capacity have been committed to your booking and may be difficult to reallocate.
  • Accordingly, cancellations within 48 hours of the reservation time, non-attendance, or reductions in guest numbers will incur a $50 fee per affected guest, regardless of the reason for the change, including illness or other unforeseen circumstances.
  • Where a Set Menu has been selected and confirmed, a cancellation within 48 hours, a no-show, or a reduction in guest numbers within 48 hours will incur a charge equivalent to the full Set Menu price for each affected guest.
  • For group bookings of 6 guests or more, payments or deposits subject to the applicable booking terms may be non-refundable where the booking is cancelled within 48 hours.

7 · Arrival & Table Readiness

  • We make every effort to have your table ready at your reservation time. Occasionally, a short delay may occur while we complete the previous dining experience. We appreciate your understanding and will seat you as soon as possible.
