This suburban restaurant was fine for a mid-week meal. Not too fancy but pleasant surroundings with varied menu. It was about half full mid-week on a wet and cold winter night. Parking out front and not too crowded inside. The temperature inside was on the cool side - not unpleasant but a light jacket was necessary. The prices were mid-range. Although there were small groups nearby it was not noisy so overall we relaxed and enjoyed the evening.We settled on a plain pizza and dips for starters. The dips were an odd match to the Rosemary pizza but they were tasty - I would have preferred plain bread with them. Main courses were lamb shank on quinoa and pork chops. Both were flavoursome and of...
I ate here on a Wednesday night. Was a great place to catch up with friends and able to chat in a relaxed environment. Not too noisy, background music is at a reasonable level and staff do there things without disturbing your conversation with friends. Staff are excellent and polite, great service! I am vegetarian and I did find the menu limiting for me. No vegetarian main dishes, you have to turn an entree into a main. I did share a couple of entrees with friends. The zucchini frittatas are good. The pumpkin and pine nut Salad was delicious. As a main, I ended up ordering a pumpkin and zucchini pizza of the special board, this was very plain in flavour considering it had a lot of different...
Anyone who gives this place more than two stars obviously never visited the place in it's hey day. The times you used to walk in and the door was opened for you and you were greeted with a big hello and sometime even a hug! The lights were dim, tea lights lit, and the place had a real buzz. I am someone who started going here when it was brand new and was a very loyal customer - many birthdays, special events, and lots of fun times here. The chairs furniture and carpets all the same (quite worn and dated). The staff seem despondent I have visited here two times in the last six months - the "specials" board hasn't changed and nor has the menu! Such ashame - this place used to be my first choi...
I booked this venue for a baby shower lunch. We had 20 people attend. The venue allowed us to come early to set up some table arrangements and their communication with me in the lead up was fantastic. Everyone really enjoyed their lunch and spoke highly of the food. I was impressed that they let such a large group do Al La Carte (we just had to order ahead of the day so as to make service easier). There was a small mix up with one of the orders but they quickly fixed this and were really professional about it all. They really contributed to a wonderful day.
I personally had the beef cheeks and they were delicious! Would eat here again and recommend for a large group.

We were pleasantly surprised to find such a nice restaurant in such a convenient location. The service and staff are very nice. We started with a fresh salad and flat bread with dips. For our mains I had the duck and my wife had the salmon. Both dishes were perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The portions were generous and we just didn't have room for dessert but we did see some other guests enjoying very attractive deserts. The wine list was well rounded but not overwhelming. We will be back to try some of the other selections soon.
Went there with my Fiancée for Valentine 's Day. Left it a little late to book, and was happy to get an outside table. Was a nice place to eat outside, as it was quiet and pleasant, and wasn 't too hot. Service was a bit slow as I think they were understaffed. Set menus for 2 courses was reasonable and made the choice easy, however the food was a bit disappointing for what we thought was a 'fancy ' restaurant. Price was reasonable. Drink service was slow, and they probably missed out on a few extra drinks from is over the course of our meal.

Must have hit Ellacure on a one-off night. Despite the usual high level of service, our first choice wine was not available, our first choice side dish was not available and the main meals were served with over a five minute gap between the first person and the fifth. Not the usual standard we have experienced.

Had a chicken burger from this place and was very disappointed. The burger was greasy and full of cheese. They put way too much bacon on the burger. The sweet potato chips on the side were average. I'm not going to return to this place as this was one of the worst chicken burgers I have eaten.
Excellent food. Pan seared barramundi was delicious. Excellent service. Cannot fault anything. Reasonable price. Vibrant and romantic atmosphere.
