We've been here now 3 times and all 3 have been wonderful experiences. The staff are attentive without being intrusive and extremely accommodating regarding our need for gluten free options. The venue has that perfect sense of occasion - not overly formal - but provides a relaxed experience that is perfect for pre-theatre dining, or birthdays etc. Great wine list too!

About the restaurant
There's something for everyone at The Brasserie. Light filled, welcoming and with greenery accents, diners can expect a range of delicious options from a brand new menu that includes traditional classics such as the Chicken Parmigiana, a wide variety of mouth-watering steaks and many other delightful dishes guaranteed to satisfy any craving. Sweet tooths will rejoice with a selection of decadent desserts and barista made coffee.

Overlooking the sun-kissed Sunny's deck, and close to the Marco Polo Adventure Zone, The Brasserie invites diners to relax and explore the menu in a casual, family-friendly environment.

A relaxing summer evening watching the sun set over the water. We shared the burrata and focaccia, then had delicious oysters and Grim Cape eye fillet ,a delicious prawn curry and rice and an amazing gnocchi,which I never normally order anywhere ,but it was fantastic. There is an interesting room inside if the weather is too hot or raining . food was great and lovely efficient service

We chose to have lunch at YOT Deck so we could stay afterward to enjoy Lisa Hunt’s performance. It turned out to be an absolutely fantastic afternoon! The combination of great friends, delicious food, and Lisa’s incredible performance made it truly unforgettable. Once again, she was outstanding!
