Join the cool kids and head to st. Elmo for a a tempranillo and tapas. Reasonably priced, warm service intersting food and a buzzy vibe. We were happy watching the action from the bar, but I'd suggest booking ahead to get a table.

The range of tapas dishes is great. They include a good selection of really tasty dishes that suit people (like us) that don' t like too much spice but are still strong on taste. The staff are helpful and the wine selection is excellent. We come here a couple of times each holiday.

Wine is a little over priced (compared to Spain... More

Went there in May 2013. We had some choices from the menu and they were all great but very small in size. The wait staff was also friendly. Actually everything was fine really, would it not have been overpriced. But this is Australia for you. Remaining question is, will they ever get real on this big island? I mean this... More

We love this place! The tapas menu was varied with lots of options for all different tastes. We have eaten at many different tapas restaurants and this was one of the best!
