If you've dined with us more than once, there's a good chance you've met this one already.

The Angus scotch fillet has become one of those dishes our regulars ask about before they've even sat down. It's easy to see why. It's cooked with care and rested properly, then paired with bone marrow and a green pepper sauce that's rich, peppery and deeply comforting.

What makes it unmistakably ours is the sea blite. This native coastal succulent grows wild in the salt marshes around the estuary, just down the road from the restaurant. It's crunchy, salty and bright, and it brings a little of the Shoalhaven coastline to every bite. Simon loves using it because it tastes of exactly where we are.

It's familiar enough to feel like an old favourite, and local enough that you'll only find it here.

Pull up a chair this spring and see why it keeps people coming back. And ask Jack what he'd pour alongside it. He always has a wonderful suggestion 🍷

Only a few seats remaining for this Friday's Meet the Maker evening with Matt Atallah.

Five courses, five wines, one magical evening - Executive Chef Simon Furley has designed a menu that sits alongside Matt's wines rather than beside them, and Matt himself will be at the table to take you behind the bottle. From the vineyard to the glass to the plate in front of you.

It's shaping up to be one of our favourite nights of the season, and seats are limited. If you've been thinking about it, Friday 18th September is the night - book now to secure your spot.

Iain Smart's back in the kitchen this Thursday - and he's brought a menu that reads like the best kind of invitation. Quail eggs and truffle cream. Veal that's been given the time it deserves. A rice pudding built around blood orange and strawberry sorbet that tastes like the season turning.

Thursday 17th September. Seats are limited. Bookings essential. We look forward to welcoming you.

There's a particular kind of afternoon that only happens here - dappled light through the palms, a familiar face, a glass enjoyed slowly. This is what we mean by hospitality.
