Entrees include Hervey Bay scallops in half shell with rocket pesto and warm tomato vinaigrette, Twice cooked veal shank in prosciutto with potato gratin and its braising jus and Tempura battered zucchini flowers with Kytren goat’s cheese curd, beetroot and orange salsa.

The mouth watering mains range from Grilled king prawns with potato gnocchi, baby spinach, burnt butter and 'Forum' cabernet vinegar to Thai spiced boned baby barramundi with gai larn preserved lemon and pine nuts to Poached beef tenderloin with wild mushrooms, wilted spinach and truffled mayo.

Dessert cannot be missed with offerings such as Roasted wattle seed creme brulee with almond bread or Seasonal fruit sorbets and ice cream in almond tuille basket or Vacherin of vanilla bean ice cream and raspberry sorbet.

The extensive wine list is hand picked to complement the menu.
