The dining room in Surry Hills
Interior & Atmosphere
The dining room is designed to feel considered without becoming formal — warm enough for a long dinner, clean enough to let the food remain the focus.
Dining room
The room is arranged around the tables rather than the other way about. Tables sit at least 1.2 metres apart, so a conversation at one doesn't carry to the next, and there is natural timber underfoot with soft wool upholstery on the seating. The palette runs to warm neutrals and muted greens — colours calm enough to let a plate of three or more distinct colours do the talking.
Sound is the part most rooms get wrong. Acoustic panels made from recycled PET felt run across the ceiling to take the edge off a full room, and the timber and wool absorb what is left. On a busy Friday the dining room has energy without the volume that makes people lean across the table to be heard.
Lunch is a slower proposition here than the light suggests. Tables through the middle of the room suit a long lunch that runs into the afternoon, and the timing is yours to set — staff will tell you how the kitchen is tracking and what that means for the number of courses you have time for. Come in for one plate or settle in for the set menu.
If you have questions about what is in a dish or whether it suits you, ask. Staff check dietary requirements before taking an order, and the kitchen keeps a detailed allergen guide for every dish, updated each time the menu changes. It is a room built for conversation, and the service is set up to leave space for it.
Table setting
Each setting is the same at every service: contemporary stoneware plates in muted tones, linen napkins at each place, and water poured from reusable glass bottles. You will be offered still or sparkling as you sit down, and the glassware stays on the table through the meal rather than being reset around you.

Evening atmosphere
The dimmable pendant lights are set to 2700K and come down through service; recycled PET felt acoustic panels on the ceiling, natural timber floors and soft wool upholstery do the rest. By the last course the room is quiet enough to hear the table you came with.
Private or group seating
For six or more we ask for a deposit, and it comes off the bill. Tell us about dietary requirements and any accessibility needs when you book — by phone or email — and we will set the tables to suit; we confirm personally within 24 hours. If you are planning something bigger than a single table, ring or email and we will talk it through before you commit.
