Although the lobster and meat courses here were outstanding. The service was fabulous and the atmosphere much more enjoyable than some other similar type restaurants we’ve been to with a more hip and trendy vibe. Value is good and the knowledge of the ingredients and produce by the staff was impressive! Wine was affordable and the chilled red we had from a local vineyard was perfect. Definitely would recommend and go again.

It was a lovely touch to have Steven Edwards himself serving and presenting many of the dishes. We'll definitely be back to enjoy another special evening with the team at Etch. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
