    I love Elwood Bathers. Everyone is so welcoming and the food is first class. If it’s really full it can be noisy .. everyone is having such a good time I guess… but today was just perfect. It was my DIL’s 50th birthday and my request for a window seat was achieved… it was her first visit and it made it special…even more so when her birthday was recognised with a candle and happy birthday chocolate on her dessert. Elwood bathers never fails to impress on every visit. 😊

    Excellent location. A window table was not originally available. During our cocktails and before our meal was served, a table by the window became available. Daniela, our waitress, quickly set it up for us. Very good and attentive service.

    We often eat at Elwood Bathers when we want to impress international or interstate visitors, or to celebrate occasions. The service, food and environment are consistently excellent. I cannot think of any aspect that would cause any score less than 5 stars!

    The team at Elwood Bather's hosted my daughters 16th birthday dinner. The food was great, excellent service, and attention to detail. Thank you for helping it be so special.

    We come back again and again for the tuna tartare with taramosalata and crisps which comes on the seafood platter for 2, however tonight the barramundi with butter beans from the special menu was also outstanding. Warm, efficient service and a beautiful sunset capped off a great night
