In contrast to the bright surroundings of the patio seating, the inside area of the eatery is dimly lit and presents a romantic atmosphere. A golden glow envelopes the rooms making for a rich, warm and inviting atmosphere. Australian motif and Aboriginal artwork adorn the walls. The main dining room rests under a hand painted cathedral ceiling flanked by three artisan crafted eucalyptus leaf chandeliers. A full length mural of Ayers Rock, with cascading waterfalls transports bar guests to the middle of the Australian outback. Private dining rooms are also available upon request that can accommodate up to 24 guests.
Before he transformed into a restaurateur, vintner and clothing magnate, Greg Norman became known on the PGA circuit as “The Great White Shark” due to his white hair and aggressive style of play on the golf course.
