The preserved section of the menu features fresh Australian seafood, cured & cooked in oil, dishes like Port Lincoln Berrima Octopus & Espelette Pepper or Flinders Island Scallops & Tasmanian Horseradish.

A bright, colourful palette of complementary tones creates a welcoming ambience for guests who can pop in for oysters, a snack, lunch, or a leisurely evening.
