this is ESSA you found us…

behind our beautiful brass door, you’ll find a wine bar (slash) restaurant run by a team of friendly faces who care about REALLY GOOD FOOD AND GREAT SERVICE. whether you’ve got two hours and you're looking for dinner or ten minutes for one glass of wine and a snack, we’ve got you. there are menus just inside. still not sure? for those wanting a little more before you open the door….the room is long, adorned with raw steel, brick and marble, and as you rise slowly through the different levels you’ll find a wood-fired kitchen lurking near the back. we cook things over that fire. and, as we prepare food every day we try really hard to capture things at their absolute best; be it a slowly roasted vegetable, a piece of meat we’ve patiently dry aged or that moment when a humble slice of bread is burnt to perfection. we care about where our food comes from, we source ingredients from the best places we can and as many local organic farms as possible (but shouldn’t everyone?). We care about soil health, sustainable farming and great viticulture. we’ve also got wine, lots of wine, and plenty of experience to guide you though the list. This door might look intimidating but don’t be scared, just open it….
