Book NowAbout Herringbone
Halifax Street’s standout dining room sets the bar for intimate celebrations and snack-heavy grazing beside a crackling fireplace and living courtyard tree. Dinner leans heavily into shared plates—warm sourdough focaccia alongside Ortiz anchovies, tommy ruff toast, and oysters brightened with fresh citrus. Tables fill up quickly with glasses of house table wine blended with a local winery, while floor staff orchestrate the pacing with effortless warmth. The kitchen treats South Australian produce with quiet restraint, sending out delicate crudo and prosciutto with melon before delivering slow-cooked lamb shoulder that slips right off the bone. Nightcaps often steer toward the bar for a stiff Tommy’s Margarita.
- Courtyard & Fireplace: A semi-outdoor dining space featuring an undercover living tree and a warm hearth, ideal for quiet milestones and group dinners.
- Snack-Heavy Sharing Menu: A grazing-forward menu led by freshly baked sourdough focaccia, Ortiz anchovies, tommy ruff toast, and fresh SA seafood.
- Slow-Cooked Lamb Shoulder: Slow-cooked to fall off the bone, this rich centerpiece anchors the shared dining format.
- Collaborative House Wine: Custom house table wine developed directly in partnership with a local winery.
