   Essen was an incredible dining experience. The way Clarissa show cased local food and her own creativity was amazing. Each dish unique and full of flavour, combining ingredients that at first glance you would not think of. I would recommend Essen to anyone looking for a dining experience.

   Food was fantastic as was the service. The only issue was that our table was under the music speaker and it was a bit too loud.

   The food was delightful. Our hostess for the night was super professional, so warm and friendly. Everything was perfect - right down to the quiet music playing in the background. The surprise candle for my hubby's birthday was a special touch. We will definitely be going back to this hidden gem.

   Clarissa puts love and ambition into her food. Stanthorpe is lucky to have such a gem in their midst. Worth an overnight stay if you are from out of town. Exceptional. Specialises in using only the best quality local ingredients which produces a great result. We shall return.

   The food at Essen was amazing. All dishes had full, wonderful flavours, clearly showing the chef knows what she’s doing. Service was knowledgable, attentive without being intrusive. That they are BYO is a real bonus, allowing you to bring something special (or not) to drink. Dining here was a delight and it’s a reason to go to Stanthorpe on its own. Loved it there

    Such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Great value and service. I was especially grateful with how accommodating they were for us and our toddler. He had a great time and was happy to eat off our plate and chat to everyone around him. Thank you for a wonderful night! We will definitely be back!
