My favourite GC restaurant! The food is superb, especially the Miso Toothefish, and prawn and lobster gyoza. Joze was a wonderful waiter with the right amount of attentiveness and love the vibe of Etsu. Thank you again for an amazing dinner :-)

The food was amazing. We had the squid and mushroom arancini for starters both were delicious. Mains we had the sirloin steak and the best Caesar salad I’ve had in the Gold Coast. The music was good. It was a little windy which made it a bit cold, the heaters helped a little.
