    22 Mar 2025 - 20 Jun 2025
    We are proud to introduce Green—our newest tasting menu. This menu is a celebration of renewal, capturing the energy of Spring as it awakens with new life. A menu inspired by the season’s vibrancy through a singular lens: the colour that defines life itself. Ingredients at their peak—fresh from the soil, the forest, and the ocean—bring bright, fresh to the table. Each dish reflects this moment of growth and abundance, shaping a menu that feels vibrant, alive, and deeply connected to its origins. As you move through the menu, you’ll experience a progression of flavors that highlight the ingredients we love most this time of year. Each course is a reflection of how these elements come together—connected by the landscapes they come from and the season that brings them to life.

    We had a wonderful celebration for my wife's bday. We did the al la cart, but ordered a ton of food. Amelia coursed everything out really well. The service was excellent, every dish was expertly described. Really great job of seamless team service. The food was too good to even go into, really fun menu. Everything was cooked perfectly and some of the food combinations were really outside of the box.

    What a real disappointment. No tasting menu available on the day. This had to be pre ordered, which wasn’t clear when we booked the table. The chips were soggy, the Brussels were burnt, under cooked, and tasteless, the prawns had no flavour. The chicken was poor, the sauce was far too strong and the skin on the chicken was not crispy. The Steelhead was the best dish. The Semillon was delicious. Never a star restaurant. We complained to the server and never offered a discount just said she would tell the chef.

    Phenomenal experience. Every meal is a unique flavor. The beverage experience pairs fantastically with all of the dishes and the pickerel is one of the best dishes I have ever had; very warming and nostalgic tasting.
