Nice setting with ease of access for elderly patrons of which our group had a few. Was overall a little disappointed with the food served. Entrees were good, however main meals were hit and miss across the group. Would have expected a bit more quality for the price charged, especially on the seafood front, $39 for what appeared frozen bugs not great. Was looking forward to the visit, however didn't meet the expectation!

Revisited after a too long absence. Service, as always, was friendly, professional, and attentive. The selection of entrees and mains is enough to allow you to keep coming back to try different meals. Prices are moderate, servings are large.
Social distancing has not reduced the numbers of diners and tables are, mostly, well spaced to give you some assurance of minimal contact. Our sardine entree, and haloumi with figs entree were excellent. Chilli/garlic prawns, mussels, mediterraneabn pasta, and scallop mains also excellent.
Happy to be back and will definately return.

I discovered Ela Mesa had been there for some time but unfortunately for me only my first visit. Why didn’t I know about this place sooner. The food was great. We had the garlic & chilli prawns for entree to share and the the lamb blackstrap and lamb souvlaki. BYO wine was a bonus. The highlight though was the live music 🎶 on a Saturday night albeit a tad loud for good conversation. Atmosphere wonderful. We’ll be back 😊
