THE SPREAD

Great food is a catalyst for conversation and warmth. It’s all about sharing.

Starting from $40, every person picks their own main and we’ll bring 2-3 sides. It includes a top marbled Rump Marble Score 8-9 OR Marble Score 6-7 Eye fillet from Sher Farm in Victoria, Roast Cauliflower, Risotto, Lamb, Barramundi, Chicken or Brisket. Some mains have an additional fee please see menu.

Your main is accompanied by a chef’s selection of rotating sides that hero excellent produce. Things like a house baked focaccia with fermented mushroom butter, Iceberg salad, a broccolli grain salad or root vegetable slaw.

DRINKS



Every cocktail is made in house, often using infusions, fat washing or ingredients from our Kitchen. As an example, we have used Tomato water in our Tuna tartare since we opened. Now we build our savoury Martini with Four Pillars Olive Leaf Gin, Noilly Prat Vermouth, mix through tomato water to provide dilution & Umami, and top with Mount Zero olives. We cut our clear ice in house.

Wines are a range of highly rated Australians regularly featuring 94 point halliday award winners & up the glass, interspersed with the best of the world with Spanish, Italian, Argentinian, French and New Zealand wines. A selection of our wines are served by the glass under Coravin, with more available by the bottle.

GROUPS

Whether its a large group, or a whole restaurant bookout, our spread concept is really well designed for groups. There’s something for everyone, and its all designed around sharing

No more “ does everyone want a side, person x hates splitting the bill, I’m a fussy eater there is nothing there for me’

We’ve made ordering easy. Focaccia and butter comes out within minutes of sitting down, and everyone’s sides are on us. We said what we meant above, ‘we haven’t met a dietary request we couldn’t honour.

Give us a call 0423 905 835 if you want to discuss.
