Father’s Day Lunch is fully booked!
If you’ve secured your lunch reservation, we have a special gift for your dad — we’ve teamed up with surgebathhouse to gift dad a complimentary 45min session.
After wrangling the family together for lunch, he deserves a recovery experience. Dad can and relax at the premium recovery bath house, located beach side in Dee Why.
Missed out on lunch? We’ve still got a few tables for dinner — no set menu, just good food your way. Be quick, they won’t last.

Crispy kipfler potatoes. Charred leek. Serious flavour, done right.

5 course Italian Feast $90
Optional wine pairing $75
Head Chef Gabby Bombara knows her way around a hatted kitchen — bringing refined technique honed at Sydney’s finest restaurants to the heart of Italian home cooking. For round three of La Dolce Vita, Gabby reimagines Nonna’s recipes through a modern lens, plated on the very same family dishes that once graced Nonna’s table.
The result- Food that’s technically brilliant, deeply personal, and unmistakably delicious — optional wine pairing with beautiful drops from Godot Italian Wines.
