We welcome both walk-ins and reservations, subject to availability.

Our culinary team is happy to discuss your preferences and, where possible, create or adapt dishes to suit your occasion and requirements. If you are planning a private dinner, celebration or special gathering, speak with our team in advance so our Chef can explore the possibilities with you.

Can you work around allergies, and is there enough for vegetarians?

Yes. We are happy to discuss dietary preferences, allergies and specific requirements with our Chef. If you have particular needs, please let our team know upon arrival at the hotel, and we will work with the Chef to curate suitable options wherever possible. We also offer vegetarian choices across our dining experiences.

Can we take the rooftop for a private evening?
