Signature Service · Eight Seats

The wheel decides
what you taste

Eight seats around the pass, a brass wheel of seasonal ingredients, and a chef who wagers her own shelf on your guesses — the only menu in the house that is never printed.

The Experience

Dinner as a
wager

Before each course, chef Amelia Rowe spins the ingredient wheel at the pass. Whatever it lands on — desert lime, wagyu, finger lime, truffle — becomes the plate in front of you.

Guests may call their guess before the reveal. A correct call earns a pour from the chef's private shelf; a miss earns a story and the next spin.

No two services repeat. Dietary notes are taken at booking and the wheel's brackets adapt — the house's one rule is that nothing is announced twice.

What Sets It Apart

Why eight seats
fill nightly

The Brass Wheel

Sixteen seasonal brackets, spun live at the pass — the evening's script.

Chef's Shelf Stakes

Call the ingredient correctly and the chef pours from her private shelf.

No Printed Menu

Nothing is announced before the spin; nothing repeats across services.

Pass-Level Seating

You eat where the kitchen finishes — the plating is the entertainment.

How It Unfolds

How the
ritual runs

Ninety minutes, seven courses, one wheel — the structure is strict, the outcomes are not.

1

The Welcome Pour

Seats at the pass, a chilled aperitif, the chef explains tonight's brackets.

2

Spin & Plate

Each course begins with a spin; guesses are taken, stakes are sipped.

3

The Chef's Toast

The wheel's final bracket is dessert — and the shelf opens for the lucky.

Included

What the seat
includes

  • Seven courses across the pass, sequenced by the wheel.
  • Welcome aperitif and water service throughout.
  • A guess per course — with chef's shelf pours for correct calls.
  • Optional wine pairing, eight pours — A$85 supplement.
  • The night's scorecard, stamped and signed.
  • Priority booking for the next month's seat.
The Evening's Arc

Ninety minutes,
three acts

Act I — Cold Open

Raw bar brackets and light pours; the wheel warms up slowly.

Act II — The Hearth

Josper brackets, heavier pours, the stakes get serious.

Act III — Sweet Finish

Dessert brackets, the chef's toast, scorecards signed.

I came for dinner and left convinced the wheel was rigged — in my favour.
