  • Coravin and Magnum Pours of Cult Vintages

    Sommeliers pour rare, cult, and premium bottles from magnums and via Coravin preservation, opening up top-tier cellar drops by the glass.

    To give you an idea, today they were pouring 2024 Tolpuddle Chardonnay from magnum and 2018 Bindi Wines Quartz Chardonnay.

  • Refined Food Matching Cellar Calibre

    Fine dining dishes like fresh pasta and roasted duck deliver culinary quality that matches the calibre of the cellar.

    The menu is equally impressive. Starters were full of flavour and well presented. The pasta and the duck were both highlights.

  • Spacious Dining That Encourages Lingering

    Diners enjoy an unhurried, spacious floor plan where tables are encouraged to relax across multiple courses without feeling rushed.

    You are not jammed in and they let you linger.

  • Designed for Multi-Hour Grazing

    A focused, well-paced menu makes it seamless to graze over several hours alongside bottle selections and pairings.

    All the food was perfectly executed, beautifully plated and it's tight menu makes it easy to graze over a few hours while taking the time to appreciate the amazing wine list.

  • Beef Cheeks

    We dropped in for a cheeky bottle of Savaterre 2012 Shiraz and the beef cheeks dish - what a combination, exceeded our expectations.
