This rose is a climbing rose and yellow in colour; a fitting representation of the Sunrise and Sunset that can be enjoyed from every aspect on the Lady Banks Rooftop. Be delighted with our modern interpretation of everything the Lady Banks Rose represents – uniqueness, effortlessness and vibrancy. Please enjoy Lady Banks Rooftop – an experience like no other

In Italian Stuzzichino means means “try a little bit of everything”. Stuzzichino was Sydney’s first Italian (rather than Spanish) “tapas” restaurant. Located inside Bankstown Sports’ La Piazza precinct, Stuzzichino has been given rave reviews for its excellent seafood-focused menu, the wonderful service from experienced wait-staff and the tempting wine list.

I found Elements Brasserie via a search online and saw the Surf & Turf Monday special, so booked it in. The food quality was quite impressive and the service was very friendly and professional. The ambiance and aesthetic of the restaurant was really quite nice too (except for the table near us with young children running around everywhere!). Will definitely return and am excited to try other meals on the menu too (as well as the S&T again!!).
