Good food with generous serves, good variety of beers and good service. We had the meat platter for two and enjoyed everything - only just managed to finish it.
Having just been in Europe, and celebrating my husbands 70th birthday we were disappointed with the food. The service was good, but probably would not visit again.
Great food good service our favourite Restaurant. Convenient location. The Menu has a good selection the quality is always consistent never leave hungry have to take a doggy bag home.
We had a very pleasant dining experience. Tasted very nice food and have nice beers. Staff are helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is good as well.
being asked "did we want to tip" when paying our bill is not the way to go, however food was great. Pork knuckle is the best
Nice ambience, friendly staff. Best pork knuckle I've had in Sydney! Be warned: even though it doesn't look huge, one pork knuckle could easily feed 2 people, if not 3.
The portion is quite huge but seems normal for German restaurant. Tasty and reasonable priced food. The place itself is quite charming, typical German style. In short, recommended place for German food lover.
Great food beer and schnapps! The staff always go out of there way to make sure you have a good experience. Thanks for a great night Anna!
Great food, decent service, atmosphere was great nice and quiet since it was wet weather. The food took a little while to arrive but it was worth the wait!
Fast service on the night we ate there. Essen has a wide selection of beers which compliment the tasty German cuisine well. Large meals so expect to be full when finished.
Entrees were nice, pork knuckle was a bit dry & service wasn't as good as I have had previously. Deal when arrived was different, as said get one entree between two, a main each & dessert each but ended up paying extra (apart from drinks.) I wouldn't buy this voucher again.
Great food and good value! We had the pork belly, schnitzel and sausage platter. Also love the interior finishing - a very warm and cosy setting. Friendly customer service. Would go back soon!
Dinner on a Monday is the way to go. Service was quick and food was great value. The grilled salmon was a bit dry but still tasty. Everyone on the table had a great time and left satisfied.
We went back to Essen again as their food and the experience was really nice. This time also met my expectations - food was nice and the waiters were helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Great food and good size portions. Plenty of good beer choice. Handy parking nearby at Broadway shopping centre. Only downside is it's a bit pricey.
Service was extremely slow, had to wait for more than one hour for our food. Food was ok, but not overly authentic with Enoki mushrooms in the Spaetzle.
Great beers, food and service. It has become our preferred restaurant for special occasions'but prices and location resonable enough for any night dining out. Highly recommended.
The service was excellent and there was a lot of choice. I would recommend this place. I hadn't esten German food before and would definitley go again
Nice food and big portions. Friendly staff and quick service. We had pork knuckles. We couldn't finish our plates. Maybe, a bit on the expensive side.
really nice restaurant, atmosphere is great, food comes in large portion and well presented. extensive list of drinks as well. my partner really like the lychee cider.
Great food and with an excellent choice of drinks. Great service. Good location. A bit pricey, but good to spoil yourself every now and then.
I have visited this restaurant on two occasions and both times I have found the food to be good. The meal sizes were a good size and the availability of doggy bags is very helpful
Food was good as always but it took over an hour to come out due to how busy it was. Best to avoid Saturday nights.
The restaurant has great atmosphere. I ordered Veal Schnitzel with creamy mushroom sauce which was very yummy, and rosti came with was just perfect !
Friendly service and good meal portions. In very good location near Broadway shopping centre as well. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting German food experience.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was very good and restaurant has adequate atmosphere. Very nice experience with the Scoopon voucher. Will repeat!
Very welcoming and attentive. Fantastic food and drinks at a reasonable price. Staff were extremely helpful. Entrees and mains were brought out at perfect times.
The restaurant smells like a beef stew, it feels like home or you are invited to someone else's home. Our wait staff was superb. Kind, accommodating and helpful. Meal was excellent. Big portion sizes tho
Great food, generous portions & fantastic service! And of course great beer! Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Will be back for sure! Thank you
The food was good the restaurant was clean the staff were friendly The restaurant is a little away from the CBD it is well worth the effort to get there
Good food, friendly atmosphere. Busy vibrant restaurant with good traditional German standards. The pork knuckle will keep going for a week and the beer is great.
The food & service was fantastic all night. The meals were great portions & all cooked to perfection. The restaurant was set out in a Bavarian style beer hall which was a pleasant change. Can't fault anything on the night. I will definitely return.
The food was absolutely fantastic! Best pork crackle ever and the lamb was so tender it just fell apart. Can't wait to go back. Yummmmm!
We were not disappointed at all in our experience in this Restaurant. The waiters were courteous and helpful. The meals had been prepared well based on the continental style. Good coffee served at the end. Parking could be a problem although buses are running along the street.
Always good food at Essen. The crème brulee is the best dessert and it is huge, love, love, love it! The service is friendly and attentive.
Food was nice but the meat platter for 2, at $68, was relatively small, compared to similar dishes at other german restaurants. If not for the scoopon voucher it would be a rip off. Service and ambience was good though. Really appreciated the kids activity packs to keep my 2 boys entertained before the food arrived.
A hearty and generous dinner on a cold wintery evening. The service was attentive -however, we would have appreciated advice on not to order so much as the meals are very large. with a group of 8 we had no complaints, everyone left warm and satisfied.
Polite and efficient staff, good food, couldn't ask for more.
Staff were attentive and the food great. We shall certainly go again. Would have liked to hear some German music to give it more authentic atmosphere.
Fantastic; servers were open friendly and helpful, atmosphere was pleasant & relaxing decor was beautiful. Food was so good in presentation, portions and flavor. All in all a wonderful experience and fantastic value.
