The restaurant
Dark timber, candlelit tables and warm hospitality set an easy pace for dinner and conversation. Arrive for a meal of its own, or let the dining room become the opening chapter of a sociable night at the club.
The room sets the pace
The restaurant brings the dining room, kitchen and bar into one continuous evening: considered enough for an occasion, relaxed enough to make an ordinary catch-up feel properly unhurried.
Linen settles the tables; dark wood and low light keep the room intimate without making it feel formal or remote. There is room for a table for two, friends meeting after work, and shared suppers that carry on after the plates have arrived. Service is attentive to conversation, allowing a meal to unfold at its own pace rather than hurrying guests through it.
The kitchen works with a seasonal, composed sensibility: clear flavours, considered ingredients and plates that can hold a full dinner or be shared gradually across an evening. The selection is designed to sit comfortably beside the drinks list, giving guests an easy way to begin lightly, settle in, or return to the table for another course.
The bar is a warm stopping point for an aperitif, a glass of wine, a cocktail, a non-alcoholic drink or coffee as the night turns later. It belongs to the dining room’s rhythm: a place to arrive, pause between courses, or stay with the conversation after dessert.
“A good evening leaves space for one more story.”
The evening rhythm
Dinner before the cards.
Some guests come for a complete dinner before making their way toward the offline poker tables; others stay for drinks and conversation before joining the later atmosphere. The experience remains face-to-face, shaped by the craft of the table, thoughtful etiquette and the pleasure of being in the room together. Dining is enjoyable in its own right, and no guest needs to participate in poker to enjoy the restaurant.
At the table
Food and drink belong to the material language of the room: marble, dark wood, linen, ceramics and brass catching the last warm light of the evening.
Thoughtfully composed plates arrive on ceramics and linen, made for pauses, sharing and another round of conversation. Seasonal movement keeps the table feeling alive, while the dark timber and marble around it make every course feel at home in the room’s low, warm light.
The bar’s pace
Wine, cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks and coffee give an evening its different tempos: a welcome on arrival, company with dinner, a pause at the bar and later conversation before guests choose whether to move toward the offline poker tables.
See menu categoriesWays to gather
Whether the plan is close-range conversation, a long supper with friends or a quieter hosted dinner, the restaurant offers settings that let the occasion find its own pace.
Smaller tables are composed for a date, a quiet catch-up or dinner before another part of the club evening. The setting keeps conversation close and comfortable, with an attentive rhythm that leaves room for courses, pauses and the kind of evening that is not measured by the clock.
For friends and groups, shared dining creates a reason to settle in over plates, pours and a relaxed social rhythm. A group meal can be the centre of the plan or one part of a wider evening at the club, with room to begin together before the night finds its next room.
Plan a gatheringPrivate tables offer a quieter, more contained setting for dinner, conversation or a hosted gathering. If a distinct space is part of your plan, include private-table interest in the reservation enquiry and the details of the evening can be discussed from there.
Discuss a private tableAfter dinner
As dinner winds down, guests can remain at the bar, continue their conversation, or make their way toward the card lounge and its physical poker tables. It is a subtle shift in atmosphere rather than a break in the evening: warm light, familiar company and face-to-face play around a table made for the room. The lounge is an optional continuation, never a requirement for restaurant guests.
Practical notes
Absolutely. Guests are welcome to come simply for dinner, drinks, dessert or coffee. Poker is an optional part of the wider club atmosphere, so a restaurant visit can be exactly that: a relaxed evening centred on the table and the people around it.
Guests interested in the offline poker side can explore the lounge and relevant evening information while planning their visit. Start with Offline Poker or Poker Evenings to understand the social, face-to-face setting.
Yes. Include your group size, occasion and any private-table interest in the reservation enquiry. That gives the club a clear picture of the evening you are considering and supports suitable planning detail without asking you to settle every decision in advance.
This page sets out the dining categories and the atmosphere of the selection. If you have a question about the current menu, add it to your reservation request so it can be part of planning your evening.
