Sean Moran has been decorating the walls of his dreamy dining room with art and curios for more than three decades, creating a charming space that gives guests the sense that they’re visiting a beloved friend’s home. Like the ocean across the street, it’s the perfect backdrop to three courses guided by outstanding seafood and farm-to-table ingredients.

It’s always hard to look past Sean’s roasts, and the chicken is rightly famous. There are those who’ll always order the soup if it’s on – perhaps corn chowder with crunchy prawn toast – while others can’t resist life-affirming housemade pasta. If there’s one thing everyone agrees on, though, it’s that the pudding, accompanied by stewed fruit and dollops of custard and cream, is essential.

The wine list is a celebration of Aussie producers and champagne, but Sean’s also lets you bring that bottle you’ve been saving for a special occasion. And where better?
