I've eaten at Ellacure many times and it was a favourite of mine. I recommended it to everyone, that is until I went back recently. What happened?

The service was slow and the staff seemed like they hated life. A smile wouldn't hurt! The food was even slower and came out at different times. They even mixed up our order... Twice! My friends dining with me couldn't believe that I had ever said good things about the place. I tried to give the owner/manager some 'helpful' hints and he was extremely rude.

I also overheard the way the staff were speaking to each other (mainly because our table felt like we were sitting in the kitchen and bar) how on earth does that place have any staff? One thing I enjoyed about Ellacure (back in the day) was the down-to-earth attitude and that feeling of friendly dining atmosphere, but I don't enjoy going out to dinner and hearing profanity coming from the kitchen and bar staff. Not to mention the staff's attire. The females looked as if they had either too much or too little makeup, and the men hadn't showered in weeks and looked like they just got out of bed!

It is beyond disappointing because I thought Canberra finally had a restaurant that would be successful for many years to come. Its clear that Ellacure has reached its peak and is now on its way down! Unlucky to anyone who did miss it in its glory days! Dont be fooled by the many bookings this place has, it's probably people like me who once upon a time loved this place and went back only to discover the sad news that Ellacure is no more!

Ellacure is a has been. You'd get better food and service from a McDonalds.
