Etsu is a Japanese izakaya which focuses on local amazing produce in our dishes which are designed to be shared amongst friends. We have one of the largest Japanese whisky collections on our back bar which we recommend served over hand cut ice or try one of our sakes or Japanese tap beers. Our sashimi is the freshest around and our fave place to sit is at the dining bar. Kanpaii!!

    Food was really nice but with the price we paid, not so much value. Seems more like taster than a proper dinner.

    We came to celebrate my partners birthday for the second year in a row and we had such a great experience. We enjoyed ourselves even more than last year and I’m not sure how that was possible. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was impeccable! Our waitress was so kind and made great recommendations and was super knowledgeable. Despite there being birthday’s on almost every table around us the staff still made an effort to celebrate my partner as well and sung happy birthday even with just the two of us. We came away will full bellies and hearts. Thank you so much for making my partners birthday so special!!!
