Although I reserved a table to dine inside, I was placed outside. Other than this, the service and food was great.

Food was very good. Rack of lamb and calamari were particularly amazing. Didn’t love my cocktail and desserts were ok— Apple pie could been warmed. But would definitely go back. Decor is lovely and service excellent!!

Horrendous experience. They messed up my reservation and did not have a table at all for my husband's birthday dinner reservation. Wait staff practically ignored our existence for over 7mins. After I had to wave to get someone's attention, they said "Oh" as realization dawned that we were not attended to and 'passed' some menus over a counter, over my husbands shoulder, behind our seating instead of coming to us. Tried to speak to us loudly from behind the counter instead of coming to where we are seated. Ignored us some more. We did not wait to get to the food as we suffered enough neglect to know it would have been a terrible night if it started out like this. Left after expressing serious disappointment in the lack of service and lack of attention. They were unapologetic. We will not be back to try the food as service is of paramount importance to a dining experience especially when one is paying for the experience of BOTH food AND service!

Elysium Bar and Lounge is truly a gem in the city’s nightlife scene. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance captivates with its modern yet cozy decor—perfect for an evening to unwind or celebrate. The staff is exceptionally attentive, ensuring you feel welcomed and well taken care of. They’ve clearly curated a drink menu that caters to a variety of tastes; whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or simply looking for a great glass of wine, Elysium delivers quality and creativity in every glass. One of the highlights of Elysium is the artistry behind the bar. The mixologist here doesn’t just craft drinks; he creates an experience with each cocktail. Every drink has its own unique story to tell, reflecting a blend of creativity, flavor, and passion that’s hard to find elsewhere. The Italian food served here is also unparalleled—arguably the best in Trinidad. Each dish is prepared with authentic flavors and attention to detail, bringing a taste of Italy to the heart of the city. One standout is the attention to detail in their food pairings. The tapas-style offerings complement the drinks seamlessly, each dish made with fresh ingredients and presented beautifully. It’s clear the chef takes pride in their work. The music and lighting add to the vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere, making it easy to enjoy a memorable night without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Overall, Elysium Bar and Lounge offers an experience that combines sophistication and comfort, making it ideal for any occasion. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their evening with fantastic drinks, delicious food, and top-notch service.

We had a tasty lunch here. Portions are great for sharing a few plates. Service lagged at times and of course we always have to ask for serveware which is a hassle. But we do enjoy the decor and the variety of foods.

We visited this restaurant after booking well in advance. When we arrived, there was some mix up with the tables and we were put on a lounge set indoors. The head waiter accused me of having my number blocked on OpenTable and hence why he could not contact me prior- which makes no sense! We had to literally beg and beg for menus, for someone to take our orders and even to get our orders. Each time, our server was rude and impatient. It was clear they were understaffed. The sushi was subpar, the lamb was bland and dry, the calamari and shrimp tempura were tasteless and unseasoned. The drinks were barely filling the glasses and ungarnished. We never received water in our water glasses, they remained empty for the entire dinner. The Matilda cake was a plain chocolate cake with ganache filling, nothing exciting. Overall it was a horrible experience for the price we paid. We won’t ever be returning. The owner visited the table and we told him the customer service was deplorable.

Inside of the venue is really nice, the ambiance is really nice. Someone came right up and started our order which was really nice. After we placed our orders for starters it came out fairly quickly. Order main courses which was the lamb and thats where things started falling apart for us. They brought lamb but no steak knives. We ordered the lamb medium but got well done. The lamb also seemed like it wasnt seasoned very well. The taste was pretty bland. Service fell a little bit as we had to keep reminding the staff about other things that we had ordered. Order the tiramisu but that was just mostly creamer, not what I thought it would be. Also ordered the apple pie and ice cream but the apple pie was cold and hard. That should have been warm. Overall I'd say that Elysium is was average experience and the value could have been better because it was quite pricey for the quality.

I’ve been here three times since it was opened, weekday dinner, Saturday Lunch and Saturday for drinks and bites. All three times were perfect. Fantastically flavoured food with a very diverse range of cuisine, eclectic music and ambiance. Elysium Enjoyable Everytime!

We visited this place on a Friday and it seemed that even though they were only half full, the staff was overwhelmed. Service was unimpressive. Food was tasty though portions are small and it is expensive. Drinks don’t fill glasses which makes one feel a bit cheated. The seating is generally not conducive to sitting for long periods of time. The decor is gorgeous but not practical or comfortable. Most of the tables barely have room for the serving dishes. Perhaps outdoor seating is more comfortable.
