We work directly with oyster farmers across NSW, shuck every oyster to order and store them in our wine cellar at 11–16°C so they’re served exactly as they should be. Never buried under ice.

On the menu right now are Organic Wapengo oysters from Australia’s only certified organic estuary. No pesticides, no chemicals and no run-off into the surrounding waters.

Balanced, creamy and lightly saline, with soft green notes that lean almost grassy and herbaceous.

Served simply with mignonette, lemon and hot sauce.

This long weekend, we're open for lunch and dinner on Saturday & Sunday. Closed on Monday.

Happy 100th Birthday to David Attenborough. What a life and legacy he’s given us all.

His most recent documentary, OCEAN shines a light on the imminent threat our oceans are facing from deep sea trawling and highlights the importance of respecting the way we fish, something very close to Mister Grotto’s heart.

We work closely with suppliers who care deeply about sustainable fishing practices and responsibly sourced seafood, including line-caught fish wherever possible.

It’s absolutely worth a watch and please spread the word. (Currently on Disney +)

Happy Birthday and thank you for devoting your life to making the world better for us all.
