Book a TableThe Dining Rooms
Main dining room
The heart of Fortune & Table, with warm timber, leather banquettes, and soft lighting that makes every evening feel like a private club gathering. The room is arranged to encourage conversation, with generous spacing between tables and a mix of intimate corners and larger group settings. Retro accents, deep green panelling, and gold-framed artwork give the space its distinctive Neo-Retro Australian clubhouse charm, while the gentle hum of the room never overwhelms the experience.
Private dining
An intimate space for special occasions, with dedicated service and a long timber table that anchors the room. It suits birthdays, anniversaries, and corporate dinners, and can be combined with a poker evening for a truly memorable night. The private dining room seats up to eighteen guests and offers a quieter, more exclusive atmosphere while still feeling connected to the energy of the main restaurant.
Alfresco area
Outdoor seating with views of the clubhouse garden, available seasonally. The alfresco area offers a more casual atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed lunch or an early evening drink before moving inside for dinner or a poker session.
Culinary Philosophy
Seasonal and local
Our kitchen celebrates Australian produce with a focus on seasonal ingredients. We work closely with local farms and producers to source the best meat, seafood, and vegetables available each week. The menu changes with the seasons, so a dish you love in autumn may return in a new form when the weather turns. This approach keeps the kitchen creative and ensures every plate reflects the region at its peak.
Signature dishes
From wood-fired meats to delicate seafood, each dish is crafted with care. Our chargrilled steak is cooked over an open flame and served with seasonal vegetables and a rich house jus. The seafood platter brings together oysters, prawns, and the fish of the day, simply prepared to let the natural flavours shine. Presentation is considered but never fussy, letting the quality of the produce speak for itself.
Desserts and drinks
Indulgent desserts and a curated wine list complete the experience. Our pastry team makes every dessert in-house daily, from sticky date pudding to a bright citrus tart. The wine list focuses on Australian vineyards, with a thoughtful selection of craft beers and non-alcoholic options to match any meal.
Hospitality & Service
Warm welcome
Our team greets every guest like a member of the club. From the moment you arrive, you are looked after with personalised attention. Our staff know the menu inside out and can also guide you towards the poker lounge if you are curious about a session after dinner.
Attentive but unobtrusive
Service that anticipates needs without interrupting your evening. Our team is trained in both dining and poker lounge etiquette, so whether you are enjoying a long dinner or moving between the restaurant and the card lounge, the rhythm of your night is never broken.
Special occasions
We help make celebrations memorable, from birthdays to corporate events. Custom menus and seating arrangements can be tailored to your group, and our event coordinator will ensure every detail is handled before you arrive.
The Poker Lounge Connection
A dedicated space
Beyond the dining rooms, Fortune & Table features a dedicated poker lounge with professional poker tables. The atmosphere transitions naturally from dining to card play, with the same warm timber, leather seating, and soft lighting carrying through both spaces. Whether you are a seasoned player or trying your first hand, the poker lounge feels like a natural extension of the restaurant rather than a separate venue.
Poker evenings
Join us for regular poker evenings where guests can enjoy a meal before or after a poker session. Our team can help you plan a combined dining and poker package, so you can start with a steak and finish with a few rounds at the table. Check our poker evenings page for the current schedule.
The clubhouse feel
The poker lounge shares the same clubhouse charm, making it a natural extension of the restaurant. The design continuity means you never feel like you are leaving one venue to enter another; instead, the whole building feels like a single, characterful destination for food, conversation, and offline poker.
