Starting off, each of us were given a sourdough roll with Olive Oil and Australian Cultured Butter which was a simple but elegant combination to start off before the meals.
By choosing our meals one by one, there were various dishes that came across as an interesting combination to have in just one dish. All the different elements can really come together when you are dining in a Modern Australian restaurant as you are able to taste and try what they have in store as well as the different elements offered and of course, the presentation in restaurants sometimes do matter in some cases.
'Slow Cooked NZ King Salmon Fillet' ($35) with organic red and white quinoa, almonds, pickled red onion and yoghurt. Presented beautifully on a big round plate, the different colours from the crispy salmon skin, redness of the pickled red onion and the mixture of the red and white quinoa gave it that colourful but yet bright dish.
The main element to enjoy would definitely have to be the salmon. It was well done I may say, crispy on the outside with the salmon meat, pink and moist. As you can see the sea salt rocks on the salmon skin, that is what gives the salmon skin the extra crisp as it absorbs it allowing it to have the right colour and crack. 
When eating the salmon, do try and get abit of everything in a mouthful as it is then where you are able to taste the subtle quinoa and crushed almonds, the pickled red onion and then the salmon which in the end is a great combination as it does not fill you up fully but instead allows you to have a clean, healthy and refreshing meal. Feels light as well at the start but as soon as you get near the end, you would feel fuller.
'Byron Bay Pork Belly' ($24) braised in master stock with green papaya and hot mint salad, seared scallop, ginger and palm sugar glaze. As I was not feeling too hungry that day, I decided to order one of the entrees as my main although it still is an Entree size meal. What intrigued me about this meal would be the combination of braised pork belly and seared scallops which I thought was a unique but definitely delicious mix. Best of both worlds really isn't it?
Green Papaya and hot mint salad isn't something you find everywhere often so when I saw this, I thought what a unique way to compliment the dish. Having the seafood and meat side of it well done with combining pork and scallops, having the salad on the side allows the whole dish to be taken to the next level.. Fresh and healthy. The green papaya was subtle, still have the slight crunch in it which was great and having the hot mint made it better and yes, the slight spicyness too.
The seared scallops was well done however it would have been nice if there were more of it instead of just 2 whole scallops or halved scallop. The outer layer of the scallop had absorbed the marination and braising well allowing it to have a warm but smoky flavour all around. As for the Byron bay pork belly, being braised in master stock, it was rather interesting but although I could not really taste anything special about the master stock nor did the smell or the flavour overpowered anything or stood out, but the fact that the pork belly was braised well, it had a smoky flavour as well whilst having a very soft and melt in your mouth texture.

'Chips and Aioli' ($9)

'Seared Kangaroo Fillet' ($37) with native pepper berry, rosella flower, bush tomato, roasted onion and red wine sauce. Kangaroo fillet is always a nice lean red meat to eat substituting your usual red meat but some may say it is too red, some say it smells, some say it's very healthy and lean, some say it's better than beef, some say it's worse than beef.
For those who have cooked or eaten Kangaroo meat before, we should know that the Roos are best cooked and served medium rare and this is due to its lean-ess having low fat content so overcooking it would not only make the meat hard to chew or eat but also ruin both the texture and flavour. Do not compare the Kangaroo meat to your normal red meat allowing it being cooked from medium rare to well done as I have mentioned before, it could just simply dry out the meat during the cooking process.
The Kangaroo meat was cooked perfectly being medium rare when it was served and this is what I mean by being able to see the deep but subtle red colour of the meat, its low fat content and allows you to have an enjoyable experience eating it. The meat itself was full of flavour and had enough moisture as it was not dry at all when eaten.
The native pepper berry was not as overpowering but the hint of peppery taste was definitely amongst the dish and it added a nice flavour to the kangaroo meat. The Rosella flowers are placed on top of the seared Kangaroo meat. Rosella Flowers, also known as Wild Hibiscus flowers are edible and this is why.. The flower itself is most commonly known for its use in champagne although other than that, it does work well with either sweet or savoury dishes. Some may even use it in sauces or jams or just a simple accompaniment for meat. It actually kind of reminded me of onions, not too sure why.. maybe because there were also bush tomato and roasted onion mixed in along with the flowers in the red wine sauce.
'Red Wine Braised Wagyu Beef Cheek' ($35) with celeriac puree, glazed shallots and baby beans. The first thing I noticed was the smoky though burnt? texture and look. Although of course, it may have been because it was braised in red wine sauce
The baby beans complimented the celeriac puree well as the subtle flavour of the baby beans had the crunches whilst the celeriac puree, smooth and had a nutty but sweet taste. There was a garlic clove which I wasn't sure how it would've complimented the other elements. The celeriac puree was made well, not lumpy but having a smooth texture made it seem that it was not overcooked nor was it rough. It reminds me of mashed potato really but with a celeriac taste.

Will visit here again this year if I may when I am around but other than that, I am also wanting to try their Breakfast buffet. Please do note again that the current menu is different with what is available here on the review.
