This is what we do for private events. Drinks built at our bar, canapés coming out of a live fire kitchen, a seated dinner that moves at its own pace.

Bone marrow. Smoked beef fat. Fresh oyster.

Three things that have no business being this good together but blend perfectly with buttery, saline depth for your first bite.

We smoke the aioli before anything else gets built. By the time it reaches the sardine and toast, it's doing more than you'd expect — rounding out the fish, pulling the whole thing together.

It's a small dish with a whole lot going on underneath.

Good focaccia takes time. The dough needs it — to relax, to proof, to develop into bread that stays pillowy whilst the crust holds firm.

We finish ours with extra virgin olive oil and kecap manis.

Start your evening with the Osaka Orchard. Made with Umeshu, poire william, vanilla, juniper, cinnamon and lemon, this one is built on orchard instincts: ripe, considered, a little spiced.

Before the fire, there's this. Cuts chosen for their marbling — fat that tells you everything about what's coming. Over our wood-fired grill, that marbling does its work: rendering, caramelising, building a crust.

We're proud to be among the World's 100 Best Steak Restaurants, and this is why.

Autumn produce is at the heart of our Mother's Day menu.

Golden beetroot and Yarra Valley trout roe sit atop whipped goat's curd in a tart that's as much about texture as it is the season. Celery, apple and smoked sour cream bring brightness to an autumn crudo. And from the coals, Somerlad chicken — skin rendered and charred at the edges, pine mushrooms and celeriac alongside.
