Simply beautiful, service was outstanding and meal delivered super quick!!! We trued the duck ramen (spectacular) and the Ochazuke Scallop & Snapper (YUM and how fun!) Sadly, we only had a short time for dinner as we were rushing off to an event nearby, so we will definitely need to come back to experience more menu items and enjoy a more leisurely dinner. The beautiful ceramics and presentation of meals is so thoughtul. Thank you for a wonderful quick dinner. Cant wait to return

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a fantastic evening at Ennui. The atmosphere was beautiful — lovely lighting, great background music and a really relaxed, intimate feel that made it such an enjoyable place to spend the evening. We had the Grand Banquet and the food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour and served in perfectly sized portions. There was plenty to enjoy, but without that horrible over-full feeling you can sometimes get with a banquet. By the end we felt completely satisfied rather than needing to be rolled out the door! The service was just as impressive. The guys were friendly, attentive and genuinely knowledgeable about the food, taking the time to explain each dish as it arrived, which really added to the experience. And then there was Daniel behind the bar — complete with his little beret cap! He was an absolute standout. Friendly, entertaining, attentive and just one of those people who adds something special to your night. Daniel, the beret definitely deserves its own five stars. 😂 Beautiful atmosphere, incredible food and outstanding service. We thoroughly enjoyed our night at Ennui and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere a little special. We’ll definitely be back! Brett and Julie from Mackay Qld

Simple dishes executed at a totally different level. The risotto is an absolute must but my partner and I had differing favorites. All the dishes were a hit - including the sakes and that amazing granita dessert!

Service is amazing, attentive without hovering. Food is ALWAYS exceptional and while the favourite items remain on the menu there is often something new to try. Price is on point for the quality of the food. We will go back!
