About this space

The Lobster Restaurant is a waterfront restaurant defined by floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames panoramic sea and sunset views.

Design: An open-plan interior combines exposed timber trusses and visible metal ducting beneath a high ceiling. Tabletops use white linens and understated place settings around upholstered banquettes and chairs under warm, low pendant lighting.

Features: A built-in PA system and speakers are provided, and hosts may play their own music or bring a DJ. Wi-Fi and air conditioning ensure guest comfort and connectivity. Step-free guest entrance and accessible toilets provide wheelchair access throughout.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a polished sit-down dining experience or a relaxed, social standing reception.
