The Deck

Harbour views, casual seating and fresh air.

The club opens at 11:30am and deck seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. We’re unable to take table reservations on the deck.

The bistro menu is available on the deck from 12pm–8:30pm, with last orders at 8:15pm. Please note the à la carte restaurant menu is not available on the deck or in the lounge.

Regretfully, we’re unable to accommodate pets on the deck as access is via the club building. Licensed service animals are always welcome.

For functions, we can reserve up to a quarter of the deck exclusively for your group, weather permitting.

Restaurant

A warm, elegant setting overlooking the harbour.

Our restaurant offers a beautifully prepared meal in a warm, elegant setting overlooking the harbour — perfect for celebrations, work dinners, or a special night out with family and friends.

The à la carte menu blends Greek influences, fresh Australian seafood, and classic local favourites, all crafted from seasonal produce by our catering team who have been part of the club for over 40 years.

Food service hours: 12pm–4pm and 6pm–8:30pm daily.

Bookings are available exclusively to members. Guests living outside a 5km radius are welcome as walk-ins — simply speak to our team on arrival and they’ll add you to the waitlist.

For groups of 14 or more, we offer a set menu designed for effortless group dining. To enquire about a sit-down function in the restaurant, contact us at info@18footers.com.
