Open daily 12:00 – 24:00
The chef's table sits metres from the pass. There is no menu on the table — the menu is written for you that morning.
From the chef's table you watch the pass, the flame and the choreography between them. Chef Ellingsen writes a bespoke sequence around your party — your preferences, the day's catch, whatever the wood-fire wants to cook.
It is the loudest, warmest seat in the room and the one guests describe as a backstage pass that happens to serve dinner. Courses are introduced by the chefs who cooked them.
Not a private room — a front-row seat.
Watch plating, fire and timing from the counter. Ask questions; the chefs actually answer.
No printed card — the sequence is built around your party that morning.
Each course arrives from the hands that cooked it, with the story attached.
A dedicated flight, sometimes with pours that never reach the main list.
Flame, steel and nine courses at arm's length.
Tell us your party size and any preferences — the earlier the better.
A short call aligns the menu direction and any allergies.
Arrive at 18:30, pour in hand, pass in view.
The sequence unfolds for your table only.
Four to eight guests, exclusive counter seating. Bespoke menu written around your table. Pairing flight $110 extra.
We watched our dinner being built for three hours. I've eaten in a lot of restaurants — nothing touches sitting that close.

The chef's table books further ahead than any other seat — six to eight weeks for weekends. The counter is fixed; accessibility guests are seated at an adjacent dedicated table with the same menu and hosting. Minimum party is four.
