Philosophy
Our kitchen is dedicated to showcasing the finest local ingredients, from coastal seafood to native herbs, transformed into dishes that are both familiar and surprising. Partnerships with local farmers and fishermen keep the menu closely connected to the land and water around Sydney, while the menu changes with the seasons to ensure freshness.
“Each dish is a balance of flavour, texture, and presentation, reflecting the same attention to detail found in our Card Lounge.”

Chef's Choice
A delicate fillet of barramundi, grilled over open flame and finished with a lemon myrtle butter, served with charred greens. Barramundi sourced from sustainable Northern Territory farms, with lemon myrtle adding a uniquely Australian citrus note.
Tender lamb shoulder, slow-roasted for eight hours with native pepper and rosemary, served with a red wine jus and root vegetables. Lamb from the NSW Southern Highlands, with native pepper adding a subtle heat.
A dozen freshly shucked Sydney rock oysters, served with a mignonette of finger lime and shallot. Oysters from Merimbula Lake, with finger lime providing a burst of citrus.
Braised Wagyu beef cheek in a rich red wine and mushroom sauce, served with creamy polenta and gremolata. Wagyu from Queensland's Darling Downs, slow-cooked for melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Cocktail Selection
A refreshing blend of Australian botanicals, prosecco, and a hint of finger lime, served over ice with a native thyme garnish. House-made botanical infusion makes it a perfect aperitif before dinner.
A classic old fashioned with a twist: smoked with eucalyptus wood, using Australian whisky and a touch of wattle seed syrup. Eucalyptus smoke adds a distinctive aroma, while wattle seed syrup provides a nutty sweetness.
A coastal take on the Negroni, featuring gin infused with sea parsley, Campari, and sweet vermouth, garnished with a dehydrated orange wheel. Sea parsley adds a briny note, served in a chilled rocks glass.
