A roasted whole seabream with romesco sauce for those drawn to lighter, coastal flavours.
Or Australian wagyu bavette with seasonal grilled vegetables, prized for its marbling, tenderness, and deep, rich character.
Whichever direction you take, both are served for lunch and dinner from our seasonal menu.
