ESSA provides a destination to escape the expected.

Just like the raw interiors in which we reside, our work is simple but considered.

The ethos in the kitchen embraces collaboration with local farmers, hunters and providores, promoting an environmentally conscious approach to the menu. Harvest driven dishes provide the creative parameters for our ever evolving dining experience.

ESSA is open Tuesday through Saturday from 5pm till late and Friday, Saturday and Sunday lunch from 12pm.

  • Sunday School S5.5 Festive Edition

    A$98.00 per person

    Dec 15, 2024 - Jan 12, 2025
    Get festive, it's Sunday School 5.5 @ $98pp! School is in session every Sunday but for four weeks it's got extra little treats for the silly season. Our usual family lunch, family favourites, family style. It's all share plates but FESTIVE edition, think Mooloolaba prawns, Moreton bay bug, Bangalow pork belly glazed ham and mango trifle laced with booze to finish a long Christmas lunch. Heaps of fun, but especially great with a large group of friends and yes, we can organise dietary requirements if you let us know when you book, leave a note in the comments!
