Really great food only slightly let down by the overly dim lighting and leaking aircon dripping onto my wife. The food was really top level though. Definitely going back. The John Dory dish was some of the best fish I’ve ever had! More

The food was tasty but for the price, it was a little lacking in volume. The fact that I had to go drive through on the way home is not good. More

2nd time dinning “a la carte” at Essa in 2023. And another great experience, food was exceptional and service attentive but not OTT.
