The Vibe

Our eclectic history of forward thinking industry leaders, combined with inspirational chefs and managers have created the distinctive vibe of American BBQ Live Kitchen.

We envisioned a restaurant serving flavourful, bold dishes that appeal to any appetite. A place where groups come for the food but linger over drinks and conversation because everyone has too much fun to leave.

The Style

We value style because it sets the scene for a relaxed and charmed dining experience. The atmosphere transforms as the sun crosses the sky.

From vibrant and light for breakfast to plush and reinvigorating for lunch. The dinner vibe is versatile with multifaceted layouts catering for intimate meals and full function affairs.

The Food

Our Steak & Abalone concept brings all steak and BBQ cooked on organic coconut charcoal from Sri Lanka to bring the real pure taste of meat and seafood.

The restaurant has a welcoming interior with excellent equipment and offers an impressive menu that appeals to clientele, shoppers, office workers and locals alike.
