Platinum

Make Platinum "your place" The spot you most want to come to, whether for a special occasion or just the perfect dinner out.

Of course, we strive to make every occasion special here.
We start with the food. Cooked to perfection rosemary roasted lamb, stuffed with chestnuts and raisins on buttermilk mash with creamed sugar loaf, followed by caramelised pannacotta with cymarose strawberries. An extensive wine list, mouth-watering entrees, fresh seafood, duck, pork belly and of course, irresistible desserts.

Then we match the food with out of this world service and a comfortable, relaxed ambience with incredible river views, that's a world away from the routine.

Platinum isn't just the place to be seen. It's the place to be seen having a fabulous time.
