Esca Bar and Bistro

A small fresh Japanese restaurant, the fried beef inside is delicious, the price is a little more expensive, sushi is not bad, but the salmon sushi is generally, the rainbow roll and I are really good.

Other restaurants could learn a lesson on what genuine warmth, engagement, friendliness, fantastic service and excellent food at a reasonable price are all about. An extraordinarily high standard that, sadly is missing at many restaurants today.

Today I had lunch in the medley with three friends and our food was so bad that it was almost impossible to eat. I had a special one day dish, a soft salad made from grated papaya and carrots, with three prawns in it for just $23. I don&rsquo;t know what the seasoning is because it tastes nothing. I suspect the chef tried to eat them before the prawns went, and he didn&rsquo;t even give them veins to add to the damage. It tasteless and disappointing. The only thing that saved Grace was a good cup of coffee. Our waitress was also inexperienced, vague and unfocused. Before serving the main course, she cleaned my coffee cup but left my friends to take the cups and teapots themselves to make room on the table when the food arrived, and then brought only three side boards instead of four. Too bad because this place is beautifully located on the river, but I definitely won&#39;t be going back.

Great place out of the city for a biteTook a 30 min walk from the city round the river to find the Little Larder in New Farm. Was a Tues morning, so plenty of tables available and service was fast and friendly. Nice selection of breakfast options and drinks at a slightly more affordable pricing compared with the city. Food was tasty and satisfying, and the overall vibe chilling felt great to unwind. Given the location (with few establishments in the immediate vicinity) could mean the place might get packed (as mentioned in other reviews) so pick your times wisely. Overall great breakfast place to go, and will be back when I&rsquo;m back in Brisbane.

From the moment me and my wife arrived we felt welcomed and comfortable the service was great the menu was well put together and easy to use and the drinks menu was well organised we both had 2 cocktails each 5x small plates of food Our favourite was the swordfish and the the salmon overall a lovely night. we will definitely be coming back.

Been for both a dinner and a lunch. Food is surprisingly good and the portion sizes are large. Owing to the popularity at dinner the staff were stretched, but our order was accurate, but a little slow. At lunch the staff were more able to cope with numbers and our order was served more quickly. Range of drinks is extensive.
