The Experience

A tasting menu written by the tide

Our degustation is rebuilt every morning around the day's landings — line-caught coral trout, hand-dived scallops and oysters opened to order. Each course arrives with its own tableside ritual: broth poured from a heated carafe, salt crusts cracked open, sauces finished over a live flame.

Guests may add a private gaming interlude between courses — a dedicated croupier hosts a twenty-minute salon session while the kitchen resets. It is the signature rhythm of Coastal Eats: plate, play, repeat.

Included

What the experience includes

Eleven-Course Arc

A structured progression from raw bar to wood-fired mains, finishing with the gold-leaf dessert and a digestif trolley.

Sommelier Pairing

Seven pours matched from a 900-label cellar, including museum vintages available nowhere else in Queensland.

Gaming Interlude

An optional mid-menu salon session with a private croupier — chips and tasting notes delivered to your table.

Chef's Counter

Fourteen stools facing the open kitchen, where the brigade plates each course within arm's reach of your glass.

Regional Sourcing

Ninety per cent of the menu travels under 200 kilometres — reef fish, tablelands dairy and native botanicals.

Concierge Finish

Chauffeured departure, cellared purchases and next-morning pastry delivery arranged before you leave.

The Interlude: where dinner meets the salon

Between the seventh and eighth courses, guests of the degustation may step into a curtained salon for a private round of baccarat or roulette. Your table is held, your glass is topped, and the kitchen times the next course to your final hand.

Dedicated croupier and private table for twenty minutes

Complimentary chips equivalent to your wine pairing tier

Palate-cleansing course served salon-side on request

Winnings may be settled against the evening's bill

Questions

About this experience

Allow three to three and a half hours for the full eleven courses, plus any salon interludes. The kitchen can compress the arc to two and a half hours for guests with evening commitments — mention it when booking.

Yes. Pescatarian, vegetarian and most allergy profiles are rebuilt course-by-course with 48 hours' notice. The menu is seafood-led, so strict vegan requests are handled case by case by the chef.

Not at all — it is an optional signature of the house. Roughly half our degustation guests take the interlude; the rest move straight through the menu.

Smart elegant after 18:00 — jackets preferred for gentlemen in the salon, though the dining room is relaxed coastal refinement. Thongs and swimwear are not permitted at dinner.

Reservations
