    I find Elwood Bathers always a comfortable delicious experience. Margaritas are some of the best in the city and the food is consistently tasty.

    Waiters were a little slow to come around and it wasn’t overly busy. We sat at 1.20pm and the food order was not taken until 2.00pm

    Great location and excellent wait staff. Food and beverage was good but expensive. Issue was that the kitchen ignored instructions regarding food allergy - prawns we meant to be put to one side and this was not done. Apart from this food was very good.

    Our food was amazing, service brilliant and very personable. Our waiter really got to know us and view was stunning. It’s very loud in the restaurant but it was very full when we were there. Highly recommend!

    Always very enjoyable, relaxing, with friendly staff and delicious food. Staff very accommodating. I love watching the sand and the sea and the people and dogs coming and going from the beach.

    The food was pretty good. The venue location is great, its on the beach but the noise level was horrific. We could hardly talk to each other across the table. The wine was very expensive with the cheapest bottle around $90....too much. The food prices are "up there" but I could accept that. Even though the staff were friendly and obliging, the service wasn't great. We needed to ask for more wine ( to be poured from our bottle) and for more water. When we departed there was no acknowledgement e.g. no "thank you" or "I hope you had a great meal" or "how was the meal" or "what could we have done better?", nothing. The atmosphere of the staff was probably a bit arrogant. I probably would not return mainly because of the noise. (which can be decreased with some ceiling or wall treatment)
