A produce-driven menu centres on modern Australian food, as the kitchen serves an eclectic mix of local ingredients with multicultural influences.

The result is a diverse inspiration of eastern and western cultures brought together with fragrant and fresh flavours. An on-site herb garden provides the kitchen with a range of indigenous and introduced herb species, whilst a commitment to strong supplier relationships sees the South Coast’s best produce showcased.

The noise levels were loud , likely due to the upstairs function and the busy Christmas season, which made it a bit difficult to hear each other. The food was so delicious that we ended up ordering a second serving! That said, the service from Nicole and the rest of the staff was outstanding!

Pizzas are always amazing! Booked a table with no concerns. Bistro menu has changed, some items a little costly for a club. But drinks have remained reasonable. Never had a bad meal and we are regular customers.
