Premium Steak Dining
Our steak program features hand-selected cuts from Australian farms including Monte Beef, Wagyu, and Shorthorn. Each steak is char-grilled to order with signature basting that enhances natural flavors. The menu offers traditional favorites alongside innovative preparations like butter-aged rib-eye infused with Chivas Regal whisky. Diners can choose from multiple cooking temperatures and accompaniments including truffle mac & cheese and hasselback potatoes.
Wine Pairing Program
Our curated wine list features over 150 international varietals with particular emphasis on Australian and South African producers. Sommeliers guide guests through pairings that complement our bold meat dishes, from full-bodied Shirazes to crisp Sauvignon Blancs. The menu includes rare vintages and large-format bottles suitable for special occasions, with expert staff available to recommend perfect matches for any dish.
Private Dining Rooms
Available across all locations, our private dining rooms accommodate groups of 2-20 with customizable menus and dedicated service. Spaces feature warm timber finishes, ambient lighting, and modern amenities including audio-visual equipment. Ideal for business events, family celebrations, or intimate gatherings with personalized attention from our hospitality team.
AGED Dry-Aged Program
This exclusive program uses a specialized butter-encased aging process to intensify flavor and tenderness. Selected cuts undergo 4-6 weeks of controlled aging in humidity-regulated fridges, developing complex umami notes. The process combines traditional dry-aging techniques with modern innovations to create intensely flavored steaks that showcase the pinnacle of beef maturation.
Cocktail & Spirits Menu
Our cocktail program features classic and contemporary creations using premium spirits. Signature drinks like the Rose & Lychee Spritz and African Queen showcase innovative flavor combinations. The menu includes a dedicated whisky section with over 40 selections, cocktail masterclasses, and non-alcoholic options using Lyre's spirits for guests preferring alcohol-free beverages.
