    Loved dining at Ecco for our special occasion. (Just, please ban Smoking on the verandah, as the smoke wafts into the restaurant, when people constantly go in and out the door) That said, great restaurant, and wonderful friendly staff.

    Had an absolutely exceptional, fabulous, gorgeous time with my friends here today. Dining in the cellar room felt like we had gone back in time. A nice feel of classy casual. The level of service was fantastic, with designated friendly waiters continually checking in and keeping us hydrated. The starter/share plates and cocktails were so tasty. Fuss free, and quaint. I look forward to going back.
