Beautiful food, great selection, great wine list and they have other wines other than Bimbadgen to select. Recommend 3 courses if you're an average size eater. Views are stunning.

Wonderful service we were originally seated on the veranda but it was too windy for me so our waiter found a lovely table inside for us.

My wife and I both chose to have the four course option from the menu. Each of us had two courses which were of very poor quality. The Potato Gnocchi was dense and tough and did not have any real flavour. The Yellowtail Kingsfish Crudo was smothered in olive oil and the fish was not fresh. The Duck Breast was totally overcooked and grey - not blushing pink as expected. Based on our experience Esca should not be marketing itself as a fine dining restaurant.
