We promised you some epic pairings this Winter, and we’re ready to deliver.

Indulge in our perfectly cooked Pork Scotch Fillet, paired with a vibrant, orchard-fruit-forward pour, our Turn-down service cocktail, that cuts through the rich marbling and upgrades every bite.

Think bright citrus notes balancing sweetness, creating a pairing that’s as refined as it is satisfying.

And all this for only $65, because great food deserves the perfect match.

For the first time in a decade, the Hurricanes are back in a Super Rugby Final on home soil, and we couldn't be prouder!

Portlander has proudly fuelled the Hurricanes for years, and we've celebrated the wins, dissected the close calls, shared in the journey every step of the way, and now the team is one game away from glory, and the city is buzzing.

We're behind you all the way boys!

P.S We'll be opening our dinner service at 4:30pm to ensure you can get a great meal in before the game.

This is a pairing you won’t want to miss.

Our New Zealand Beef Chateaubriand, paired to perfection with a pour of The Glenlivet 12YO, a match made for those who appreciate the finer things.

Expect smooth vanilla sweetness, lifted by bright citrus and a gentle floral finish, enhancing the melt-in-your-mouth tenderness of the Chateaubriand without ever overpowering its delicate flavour.

A truly elegant pairing, designed to be savoured, and now only $97.

Are you ready for a pairing that celebrates boldness and balance?

Our New York Strip Loin is renowned for its rich beef flavour, firm texture, and beautiful marbling, and we’ve matched it with the acclaimed Man O’ War Ironclad Bordeaux Blend.

The wine's dark berry fruit, cassis, and subtle spice complements the depth of the beef, while its structured tannins cut through the richness of the marbling.

Together, they create a harmonious pairing where neither overpowers the other, and for only $90, it’s a true meeting of strength, elegance, and craftsmanship.

But don’t just take our word for it, come on in and try it for yourself!
