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?
