My husband and i came here and had an excellent meal and drinks. The server (i think Chris) was very nice and attentive and our food was great. Hes also a great bartender. I had the duck breast ans hubby had steak. Both were very flavorful although the portions of protein couldve been a bit larger. My duck breast and his steak were kinda tiny. The veggies were AMAZING also. The fingerling potatoes were sooo delicious. The cesear salad was awesome as well. I wish i wouldve asked what kind of moscato they were serving bc it was the best moscato Ive had lol. We brought our 2 children. A 6 month old and our 5 yr old had the bbq chix flatbread with fries. It was delicious and she gobbled it up. Although its more of a bar type of scene there were a couple of booths to accommodate us and it was totally fine having our children there. It was on a Sunday night when there was no live music so it was a pretty relaxed vibe that was comfortable for a family. We went bc of a really great groupon deal but i think my husband and i would go back without the groupon bc the prices were a little high but not outrageous. I was happy with our experience here not to mention VERY impressed with the very young chef whos back there throwing down n the kitchen. I tipped him personally and thanked him. Only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars was the tiny portions of duck and steak. Lol it was very small.

Yikes. I love that we are bringing more businesses into downtown, but this one leaves much to be desired. I have been to both the bistro/bar side and the nightclub on two separate occasions and was thoroughly unimpressed. Both spaces are far too cramped to serve their purposes. What kind of serious bistro has only two tables? The food was quite honestly something that I could have prepared in the dining halls at college. The paninis were sadly squished on pieces of white bread and severely lacking in filling - we tried the steak and the Cuban. We tried the Cali wrap as well, which was overdressed but good. For appetizers we had the tuna tartare (strongly do not recommend, very lacking in flavor) and the BLT sliders - the only thing I would order again. Cocktails were good, I would recommend those. Decent selection of local beers. We were served by a very nice young lady who was helpful to us, but also totally left in the dark by her kitchen staff. In summary - save your money and go elsewhere.

Awful. Ive honestly never had such terrible overpriced food. Stay away! The shredded cheese on the Nachos supreme wasnt even melted. $15 steak paninis with no sides ended up being a small rubbery piece of meat smashed between white bread and cheese, the flavor was undesirable and not what I was expecting. Not to mention a large portion of the menu items are now scratched out with sharpie... This place charges way too much for what they claim to be "Bistro" quality food. Id rather have street food!

My wifes drinks were delicious. She ordered Amarillo sours and a long island iced tea. The Amarillo sours were about $6, but the long island iced tea was $10. Myth and Element Bistro Bar are connected.... Myth is actually in the bistro bars alley. The atmosphere in Myth, the back of the bistro bar, and the front are all very different.

This place has great food, 2 flat screens and a big screen projector. A small stage for live music and big windows looking out to the street. You can sit at the bar, a table or outside if you smoke. Grab and bite, watch a game and then head over to Myth Nightclub next door.

After just coming back from Elements soft opening, I am proud to say that this place is great. There are a few problems, but I think thosell be fixed once the GRAND OPENING takes place, and the cooks are accustomed to the menu.

Not as expected however still a great time. Happy hour food/snacks taste great and have reasonable prices. The bistro is small and an awesome DJ was playing. Just too loud of an atmosphere for casual dining.

My husband and I went there for dinner with another couple. All four of had an outstanding meal at a beautiful location. This place is raising the bar in Jacksonville especially in the entertainment arena.

Showed up at 4:30pm only to be told the restaurant doesnt open til 6pm. Maybe you should take some time to update yelp or google or any other social media platform.

Fresh, locally sourced ingredients & hand crafted cocktails served in a modern yet intimate atmosphere. An exciting upgrade to Bay Street!

I will be back! The server was helpful and the food was excellent! If you get a chance to stop by, youll be pleased.

$13 grilled cheese, and an $8 slice of pie? Shyeah right, just NOT worth it, too many other options all around.
