What makes a steak worth going out for?

For our 600g bone-in ribeye, the story starts at Copper Tree Farms near Foster in South Gippsland, Victoria.

Their Hereford cattle are 100% grass-fed and raised for 36 months, allowing time to develop depth of flavour and character. The beef is then dry-aged on the bone, intensifying its flavour and developing a more tender texture.

At The Sanderson, that care carries through to the experience: choosing your steak knife, finding the right w**e and settling into a dining room made for a sense of occasion.

A steak worth making plans for.

For those moments that call for something beyond the ordinary.

The Blue Label Bone Luge is one of The Sanderson’s most memorable serves — rich bone marrow, followed by Johnnie Walker Blue Label poured straight through the bone.

Decadent, theatrical and made for dinners worth celebrating.

Got something special to celebrate? Make the venue part of the occasion.

A birthday, an anniversary, a well-earned promotion — some moments deserve a night you’ve been looking forward to.

Start at The Sanderson with beautiful steaks, decadent seafood and those unexpected touches that make dinner feel special. A welcome shot served in pewter. Your choice of steak knife. A dining room worth dressing up for.

Then discover Eau de Vie Sydney, hidden downstairs, and keep the celebration going over theatrical cocktails in the speakeasy’s low-lit surrounds.

One address. Two venues. Every reason to make a night of it.

Find us on Wynyard Lane, Sydney C*D.

Some occasions deserve more than a table. They deserve the whole room.

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Private Dining Room is The Sanderson’s most intimate dining experience: one beautifully set table for up to 14 guests, hidden away behind closed doors and entirely yours for the occasion.

Gather your closest people for oysters and caviar, spanner crab, our signature beef tartare and expertly charred steaks. Choose from our Land or Sea menus, or work with our team to create an experience tailored to your celebration.

Add world-class w**es, signature cocktails and rare wh**ky, all served with the warmth, theatre and attention to detail that define an evening at The Sanderson.

From milestone birthdays and anniversaries to important client dinners and celebrations worth keeping close, this is private dining that genuinely feels private.

Fourteen guests. One unforgettable table.

Two couples. One night out. Seven illustrations tucked throughout our w**e list.

Their evening takes a few turns along the way. Yours might start with oysters, settle into steak and a bottle of w**e, then continue downstairs at Eau de Vie.

Our illustrated characters bring a little roaring-twenties mischief to the menu. Come and meet them over dinner.

The dessert we’re never taking off the menu.

Before The Sanderson opened, founders Greg Sanderson and Sven Almenning had a specific request for the chef: a sticky date pudding with Talisker and Guinness.

Their love of bringing spirits into the kitchen helped shape a signature that has been with us from the beginning.

Guinness adds depth to the Medjool date pudding, while Talisker brings its smoky character to the rich butterscotch sauce. Familiar comfort, with a little of our back bar poured in.

And Sven’s commitment to it is quite personal:

“I have never been to The Sanderson without indulging in the sticky date.”

It’s staying on the menu. The question is whether you’re sharing.

A dish worth making plans for.

Eastern rock lobster from Port Stephens meets mafaldine, pancetta, smoked dashi butter and cherry tomato.

The appeal goes beyond the lobster. Pancetta brings a salty, savoury edge, smoked dashi butter adds richness and depth, and cherry tomato brings brightness to the plate.

But yes, the lobster makes quite an entrance.
