    The ambience at Elkwater has to be experienced. The decor, the friendliness of the staff, the quick service & the quality of the food are top notch. It is a pity that they don’t expand the restaurant as the boutique shop is hardly used. More dining tables would be great.

    Service was excellent - very efficient. Food fresh and tasty, not huge portions. It was quite noisy but still able to have a conversation. Very pleasant atmosphere.

    It is one of our favourite places to eat. I visit 2 or 3 times a month with my friends and family. Elkwater is a beautiful place to eat 😋 the food is absolutely delicious, especially build your own breakfast. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I love my cup of latte with my little treat and cute gold spoon. Its the little things that make this place special.
