We went to Entrance to spend spent 3 nights for my birthday celebration and was looking for nice restaurant and discovered La Costa, ordered pizza and Pasta which was delicious. We came back again the following day to have a birthday dinner and tried fish and lamb and the food was top notch. This establishment will be a prime destination for me whenever I am in Entrance. The atmosphere is serene and the customer service is amazing.

Today we went out a night earlier for our 35th wedding anniversary. We decided to try La Costa Restaurant at The Entrance as my wife and I had not had garlic prawns in a long time. We certainly weren’t disappointed and for our mains I had the chicken risotto and my wife veal saltimbucco which she noted was delicious. I notice on the sweets board that there was sticky date pudding, well guess what it was excellent the best I have ever had definitely got to have this for sweets.
