Dinner doesn’t have to be the end of the night.

Begin upstairs at The Sanderson with premium steak, exceptional seafood and a bottle worth opening. Then, once the table is cleared, make your way downstairs to Eau-de-Vie for cocktails, wh**ky and a little late-night theatre.

Two venues. One night. No reason to head home early.

Start with dinner at The Sanderson. See where the night takes you.

Some starters finish when the plates are cleared. At The Sanderson, the roasted bone marrow has a second act.

Once the marrow is enjoyed, the bone becomes part of one of our signature tableside rituals—with Johnnie Walker Blue Label poured through it for one very memorable toast before the mains arrive.

It’s just one of the unexpected moments that make dinner at The Sanderson feel like a proper occasion. From hot towels and welcome shots to choosing your own knife, caviar bumps and oysters served beneath an ice-cold cloud, there is always a little more to experience around the table.

Because the best dinners don’t simply taste exceptional. They give you something to talk about afterwards.

At The Sanderson, we recognise that special occasions and celebrations are meant to be fun—not stuffy.

A restaurant can be serious about its food and service and still know how to have a very good time.

That means exceptional Australian steak and seafood, considered drinks and polished hospitality—served alongside welcome shots, caviar bumps, ice-cold clouds, tableside rituals and the occasional Johnnie Walker Blue Label Bone Luge.

Because the point of a special occasion isn’t simply to mark it. It’s to enjoy it.

For birthdays, anniversaries, milestones and celebrations of every kind, book your table at The Sanderson.

A year of hard work deserves a proper celebration.

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.

That bottle you’ve been saving? We’ve set the table for it.

Every Thursday, bring one bottle of w**e per guest to The Sanderson and enjoy it with no corkage, alongside your choice of six set menus showcasing exceptional Australian produce.

Bring the vintage you’ve held onto for years, the bottle brought home from a favourite w**ery or simply something too good to open over an ordinary meal.

We’ll provide the fine stemware, attentive service and a table filled with dishes worthy of what you’re pouring.

Your w**e. Our kitchen.

BYO Cellar Thursdays at The Sanderson, available for lunch and dinner.

Some evenings are worth planning properly.

Start with cocktails, order oysters for the table and settle in for exceptional Australian steak, a considered w**e list and service that understands the pace of the evening.

Then, when neither of you is quite ready for it to end, head downstairs to Eau-de-Vie for a romantic nightcap.

For first dates worth getting right, anniversaries worth celebrating and evenings you want to remember, book a table for two at The Sanderson.

Some occasions are too important to leave to chance.

At The Sanderson, we take care of the details that make an evening feel properly considered—from the welcome at the door to the final toast around the table.

Settle in for exceptional Australian produce, freshly shucked seafood, beautifully prepared steak, a considered w**e list and cocktails worth arriving early for. Along the way, thoughtful service and a little tableside theatre ensure the occasion feels anything but ordinary.

Father’s Day is best marked by exceptional steak

At The Sanderson, the table is built around the things that matter: premium Australian steak, generous sides, considered service and a room that makes the occasion feel worthy of the man you’re celebrating. From the first pour to the final cut, every detail is designed to turn lunch or dinner into something more memorable.

For fathers, grandfathers and the men who raised us well, celebrate Father’s Day properly at The Sanderson.

Your whole night out, hidden behind one Wynyard Lane entrance.

Start downstairs at Eau-de-Vie Sydney — once crowned World’s Best New Cocktail Bar and still known for theatrical cocktails, rare wh**ky and drinks worth arriving early for.

Then head upstairs to The Sanderson for premium Australian steak, beautiful w**e and a dining room made for the occasion.

Martinis downstairs. Steak and w**e upstairs.

Two celebrated Sydney venues. One very good night.

12/08/2026

Your group chat finally agreed on steak night.

Now make it somewhere worth getting dressed for.

Start with a little theatre, choose your steak, pick your knife, order the sauces and sides for the table, then settle in with a bottle of red.

Premium Australian beef, beautifully cooked, in a room that turns dinner into an occasion.

Perfect for birthdays, long-overdue catch-ups, celebrations—or simply a very good excuse for steak.

Send this to your steak-night crew, then book your table at The Sanderson.
