Fête · Private Dining
Your dinner. Your room.
Your night.
An intimate room. A chef who listens.
A menu built entirely around you.
Every detail,
considered.
They rebuilt my grandmother's risotto — the one she made every Sunday — and served it as the third course. I didn't expect to cry.
Imogen & Callum · Autumn Dinner 2025
Our board dinner was supposed to feel corporate. Instead, fourteen people left talking about the food like it was a family meal.
Priya Menon · Director of Events, Ashford & Co.
My parents are notoriously hard to impress. They have talked about nothing else for three months.
Sofía & James · Wedding Eve Dinner
A menu that
remembers things.
Before we talk logistics, we talk about you. The dish your mother made on cold evenings. The restaurant where you had your first real meal together. The flavour you can't stop thinking about but have never seen on a menu.
Our chef builds a five-course sequence around those answers — never a template, always a portrait. The room is set before you arrive. The candles are already lit.
Bespoke Menus
Built from your stories. Written fresh for each sitting.
The Private Room
Seats 8 to 24. No other tables. No other guests.
Seasonal & Local
Sourced within 80 kilometres. Changed with the harvest.
What stays with them.
We described our first date in Melbourne — a deconstructed pavlova at a tiny restaurant in Fitzroy. The chef served one as the final course. I still don't know how they knew.

Engagement Dinner · Spring 2025
My parents are notoriously hard to impress — they have eaten everywhere. They have talked about nothing else for three months. That is the only review I needed.
Sofía & James
Wedding Eve Dinner · Autumn 2025
I needed fourteen senior partners to feel like individuals, not a board. The personalised menus — each one different — did that before the first course arrived.

The room smelled like beeswax and something warm I couldn't name. When I asked, they said it was the same candle my grandmother used to burn. I have no idea how they found that out.
