Good to know

Is the food halal?: Not fully. The kitchen sources its beef and chicken from halal-certified suppliers, but pork and alcohol are also used on the premises so a halal preparation cannot be guaranteed.
How large a group can I book online?: Online bookings take groups of up to 14, and groups over eight are asked to dine on the banquet menu. Larger bookings go through the reservations team.
Is there a private dining room?: Yes, a semi-private space inside the dining room seats up to 12 guests and uses the premium banquet menu from $118 per person.
Do you cater for gluten-free diners?: Items marked LG on the menu contain no gluten in the dish, but gluten is used in the kitchen so a coeliac-safe preparation cannot be guaranteed.
