    Always a pleasure to dine at Elwood Bathers. The food and service was exceptional as always, and with that view, it’s become my go to spot for a long lunch with the girls.

    One of the most consistent restaurants for beautifully presented and prepared meals, accompanied by professional, friendly service always. Defies the old adage great views = ordinary, expensive food. Certainly a favourite in our household.

    I love Elwood Bathers. Everyone is so welcoming and the food is first class. If it’s really full it can be noisy .. everyone is having such a good time I guess… but today was just perfect. It was my DIL’s 50th birthday and my request for a window seat was achieved… it was her first visit and it made it special…even more so when her birthday was recognised with a candle and happy birthday chocolate on her dessert. Elwood bathers never fails to impress on every visit. 😊

    Excellent location. A window table was not originally available. During our cocktails and before our meal was served, a table by the window became available. Daniela, our waitress, quickly set it up for us. Very good and attentive service.

    We often eat at Elwood Bathers when we want to impress international or interstate visitors, or to celebrate occasions. The service, food and environment are consistently excellent. I cannot think of any aspect that would cause any score less than 5 stars!
