Signature Steaks & Grill

Premium cuts, open-flame character

Savor premium steaks and grill dishes, curated to pair with a refined evening in our venue and the gentle buzz of the adjoining card lounge.

Our culinary team focuses on Australian-sourced beef, seasonal vegetables and carefully balanced sauces. Plates are composed to feel generous yet precise, ideal for sharing stories from the poker tables and reconnecting between hands.

  • Steaks with Australian character

    From slow-aged ribeye to grass-fed sirloin, every steak is seasoned to accentuate natural flavour and finished on a high-heat grill for a caramelised, oak-tinged crust.

  • Grill favourites for social tables

    Shareable plates, from charred local vegetables to ocean-fresh seafood, are designed for the centre of the table, inviting conversation that flows late into the evening.
