Dine & Drink

Whether you’re indulging in the all-day brasserie elegance of Grand Café, unwinding with expertly made cocktails at the Hide Bar, or enjoying a tipple at the exclusive Press Bar, each venue offers a unique experience. From locally inspired dishes to signature drinks, our spaces are designed for both relaxed gatherings and refined nights out.

"Superb experience from start to finish. Such a fabulous vibe about the restaurant with live piano playing to accompany the meal. Our server, Lauchlan, was attentive, friendly and always polite. Couldn't fault him, nor the restaurant and food. One of the best steaks we'd both had in a very long time."
