Opening Course

Elegant Starters

Begin your evening with refined appetisers that set the tone for the night. Our starters balance vibrancy and delicacy, designed to complement your first sip of champagne or a signature cocktail at the table.

  • Vibrant Seafood Creations

    Citrus-cured fish, chilled shellfish, and lightly torched specialties, paired with aromatic oils and crisp seasonal garnishes for a luminous, ocean-forward opening.

  • Artisanal Charcuterie

    House-selected cured meats, aged cheeses, and textural accompaniments, ideal for sharing between friends or as a luxurious prelude to the main experience.

  • Plant-Based Elegance

    Elegantly layered vegetables, heritage grains, and smoked notes create starters that feel indulgent while remaining light, colourful, and contemporary.

Centrepiece

Main Courses

Savour expertly prepared mains that showcase premium meats, line-caught seafood, and innovative vegetarian offerings. Each plate is composed with architectural precision, designed for a truly cinematic arrival at the table.

  • Premium Meat Selection

    Slow-basted, charcoal-finished, or pan-roasted to order, our meat dishes are paired with deep, layered sauces, roasted seasonal vegetables, and subtle smoked accents.

  • Line-Caught Seafood

    From buttery reef fish to robust ocean cuts, seafood mains highlight clean flavours, bright accompaniments, and textures that shift from delicate to indulgent.

  • Innovative Vegetarian Plates

    Thoughtfully composed vegetarian mains feature charred, braised, and roasted seasonal produce, supported by umami-rich broths, purees, and fragrant oils.

Finale

Exquisite Desserts

Indulge in decadent handcrafted desserts that capture the venue's luxurious spirit and visual style. Each sweet course is designed as a final scene—dramatic in form, restrained in sweetness, and rich in texture.

  • Chocolate & Gold Interpretations

    Silky ganaches, crisp layers, and warm gold accents echo the venue's palette, paired with single-origin chocolates and spiced elements.

  • Seasonal Fruits Reimagined

    Fresh fruits are transformed through roasting, compressing, and chilling, presented with delicate sorbets, meringues, and herb-infused creams.

  • Desserts to Share

    Showpiece plates crafted for the centre of the table, inviting guests to linger a little longer before drifting into the lounge.

Pairings

Our bar and cellar are curated to complement the rhythm of the dining room. Mixologists and sommeliers work in tandem with the kitchen to craft pairings that feel intuitive, elevated, and entirely suited to the moment.

  • Signature Cocktails

    House cocktails draw inspiration from classic recipes but lean into modern profiles—smoked, clarified, or aromatically garnished to align with the theatre of the room.

  • Fine Wine Selection

    A finely considered list of Australian and international wines, with a focus on expressive producers, thoughtful vintages, and flexible options by the glass or bottle.

  • Elevated Zero-Proof

    Non-alcoholic pairings echo the same complexity as our cocktails, built from infusions, ferments, teas, and house-made syrups.
