A Menu Crafted for the Table Edge

Contemporary Australian dining designed to be savoured between hands of face-to-face poker. Explore starters, mains, sharing plates, and desserts that keep the evening moving.

Reserve Your Table

Our kitchen celebrates the rich produce of New South Wales, crafting dishes that are substantial enough to sustain a long evening of face-to-face poker, yet refined enough to stand alone as a memorable dining experience.

Every dish is designed to be enjoyed at the table, whether you're pausing between hands or settling in for a full meal. The menu is structured for sharing and savouring, with place settings that echo the precision of the poker table.

Starters

Begin your meal with dishes designed to be shared around the table, perfect for a quick bite before the next hand of poker.
