Inside Table and Meal

Welcome to Our Dining Room

Step inside Table and Meal and discover a space designed for shared meals and memorable evenings. The interior blends modern Australian design with warm, inviting materials. A long communal table runs through the centre, creating a unique focal point. Overhead lighting and natural textures set the tone for an elevated dining experience at 1 Split Table Lane, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia.

The Dining Room

A Space for Gathering

Our dining room is designed around the communal table, encouraging conversation and connection. The long wooden table seats up to 20 guests, with individual tables available for smaller parties. Warm ivory walls and dark olive accents create a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere. Natural light fills the room during the day, while soft pendant lights create intimacy in the evening.

Seating and Comfort

Every seat is chosen for comfort and view, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. We use a mix of upholstered chairs and bench seating along the communal table. Tables are spaced to provide privacy while maintaining a lively atmosphere. The layout allows for flexible arrangements for groups and events, so each visit feels tailored to the occasion.

The Bar

Crafted for Conversation

The bar is a focal point for pre-dinner drinks and late-night conversations. A sleek counter in dark olive with brass accents anchors the space. Backlit shelves display a curated selection of Australian wines and spirits. Bar stools provide a casual spot to watch the bartenders at work, making the bar a lively part of the evening.

Signature Sips

Our bar menu features classic cocktails with a modern Australian twist. We use seasonal ingredients from local producers, and our non-alcoholic options are equally crafted. Pairing suggestions are available from our sommelier, so every drink complements the meal ahead.

The Split Table Concept

A Table That Divides and Connects

The Split Table is both a physical element and a design philosophy. A long communal table runs vertically through the space, visually dividing it into two sides. Guests are seated around the table, creating a sense of shared experience. The table's surface changes from wood to green felt in the evening, hinting at the casino-inspired atmosphere that follows dinner.

Materials and Craftsmanship

The table is crafted from Australian timber, with attention to detail. Solid wood construction with a natural finish gives it warmth and durability. Subtle inlays of apricot and cobalt blue echo the brand palette. The felt section is custom-made to fit seamlessly, so the transition feels intentional and refined.

A Stage for Every Meal

The table serves as a stage for both dining and entertainment. During dinner, it holds plates and shared dishes. After sunset, it transforms to host card games and roulette. The design allows for a smooth transition between experiences, so the same table supports conversation, dining, and play.

Evening Ambiance

From Dining to After Dark

As the sun sets, the restaurant transforms into a sophisticated evening venue. Lighting shifts to warm, low-level illumination. The central table's felt section emerges, inviting guests to play. The ambiance becomes more intimate and lively, creating a seamless transition from dinner to the casino-inspired atmosphere.

Casino-Inspired Touches

Subtle design elements nod to the casino theme without overwhelming the dining experience. Green felt accents appear on the table and chairs. Card and chip motifs are integrated into the decor. Roulette and blackjack layouts appear as extensions of the table, adding a playful layer to the evening.

Design Details

Details That Shape the Atmosphere

Warm Materials

The interior uses natural materials to create a welcoming feel. Timber, leather, and wool textiles add texture and comfort. Warm ivory walls with dark olive accents provide a calm backdrop. Brass and copper fixtures add a touch of elegance, making the space feel both grounded and refined.

Lighting Design

Lighting plays a key role in setting the mood. Pendant lights over the communal table create a focal point. Dimmable fixtures allow for smooth evening transitions. Accent lighting highlights the bar and art pieces, drawing the eye to details that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Art and Decor

Carefully chosen art and decor reinforce the brand's identity. Overhead food photography in the dining room celebrates the menu. Subtle casino motifs in the decor nod to the evening experience. Local Australian artworks add a sense of place and support the creative community.
