We are here on Saturday 4th November and our meal was really nice and really good value. We’ve eaten here before and El Gusto is one of our go to places if we want to guarantee that we will have a great meal and great service. Tonight was different though as the single female entertainer was absolutely fantastic. Restaurants are difficult to entertain in as people are more interested in their food and conversation. She remained entertaining and upbeat the whole night though and the diners bought into her and she had many up on their feet and singing along with her at times. She was absolutely stunning and was a great entertainer and made the night. We’ll done!

It was a wonderful surprise to find this kind of a place, in a small town and off season! ! Great food and drinks. The salmon dish was nothing but perfect. Delicious roasted veggie dish! The apple trate dessert was out of this world. An A+ staff and service. Great experience, and I highly recommend it.
