Etsu is a Japanese izakaya which focuses on local amazing produce in our dishes which are designed to be shared amongst friends. We have one of the largest Japanese whisky collections on our back bar which we recommend served over hand cut ice or try one of our sakes or Japanese tap beers. Our sashimi is the freshest around and our fave place to sit is at the dining bar. Kanpaii!!

Overall my partner and I enjoyed the experience. Thought the food was outstanding. Only thing would fault is the size of your skewers. Other than that every element ticked the box of a high quality Resturant

Food was amazing as always, it’s nice that they keep having a high standards year after year. We had a feed me as a pescatarian for two and one star drop only comes from the fact that I felt that they imagination with variety of dishes could have been noch more. That said, I understand our dietary restrictions and like said, amazing experience as always.

Food and service was excellent overall. Ordered the $75 Omakase, every item we were served was outstanding apart from the beef dish which was okay, slightly overcooked, was the only dish that was a bit of a letdown but everything else was amazing. The dessert we ordered by recommendation was absolutely devine. 9/10
