About Courtyard @ Elliott's

Elliott's is a modern Australian restaurant and bar on Elliott Street in Balmain, run by Atticus Hospitality. Its menu is built around shared plates, a steak list and a cocktail card, and the building spreads over a downstairs bar, an upstairs dining room with a balcony, a private dining room and a large rear courtyard. The venue also runs DJs through the week. The courtyard is the biggest of the function areas. It is an open-air-style space full of greenery with a custom retractable roof and heaters, so a booking does not depend on the forecast. Set up for dinner with a dance floor it seats roughly 72 to 80; without the dance floor it takes around 82 to 104 seated, and for a standing party it holds up to 110. A stage and AV equipment can be arranged for speeches, a band or presentations. Food for groups is based on the shared chef's menu at $90 per person, which runs through snacks such as chicken parfait and trout rillette, stracciatella and grilled leek, then pressed short rib with potatoes and salad, and a sorbet dessert. Pescatarian ($90), vegetarian ($80) and vegan ($80) versions sit alongside it, and the team tailors food and drink packages to each group. Enquiries go through the function form on the Elliott's website, where you choose your preferred area, date and guest numbers.
