The elegant, food stop offers a variety of premium oysters from different estuaries and locations, as well as a large range of premium champagne, wine and spirits.

The menu which is designed to meet a variety of diners demands, includes a range of breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack and dinner options.
In addition to the above, baked goods from The Bakery, sushi plates from Menukidori, fresh fruit juices from Squeeze and Crush, organic produce from Harvest, healthy salads and drinks from Patch, hot food from Paddock, and delicious street food from Flavour will be available to purchase.
