Presenting an unforgettable interactive and immersive dining experience, diners are invited to relax, absorb the incredible glittering vistas from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and watch in wonderment as Chef Daniel and his team prepare tasty specialties such as Angus beef, tuna and mushroom tartare, and the signature chef’s salad, crafted from the finest colourful, crunchy, and flavoursome seasonal produce, all straight at the table.
The succulent sharing-style Chateaubriand and meaty Tomahawk are also expertly calved at each table, while guests are encouraged to admire the unique restaurant’s full array of sumptuous, sweet delights and enjoy having the decadent dessert trolley to come straight to them.
Further enticing options are found amongst the classic appetisers of shrimp cocktail and crab cakes, the choice of grilled fresh seafood, vegetarian-friendly cauliflower steak and delectable double-patty smash burgers, made with 100% minced chuck steak and adorned with various irresistible toppings.
Meat lovers will be in their element with the extensive assortment of world-famous premium cuts and succulent grills, which are all complemented with a curated choice of paired aromatic grapes, playful hops and signature cocktails.
