Where the coast meets the table

Guided by Executive Chef Jeremy Metivier, the menu celebrates the finest local seafood and seasonal produce through a refined Mediterranean lens, where beautiful ingredients are given the space to shine.

Slow down, settle in and let lunch linger a little longer. Share plates across the table, raise a glass, lose track of time and reconnect over great food, good company and uninterrupted ocean views.

Beautiful produce. Simple flavours. Thoughtful cooking.
Exactly how dining by the sea should feel.
