    Food was good, but service wasn’t. After waiting 15 minutes at our table we had to call a server over just to get water. Food arrived quickly as did the drinks once we were able to order. Very noisy and we were sitting near the bubble machine which was annoying. The teenagers we were dining with loved the swing seat and it was a good birthday treat. I had been wanting to go to Th e Grounds for a long time and was happy to see it, not sure I understand the hype and don’t need to go back.

    From our initial greeting we can fault the service. They were very busy but we had continued service from different members of the staff. The meal choices were great. The food tasted amazing and also had a great selection of cocktails. Can’t recommend element smokehouse and bar enough looking forward to the next time we come back.
