The Dining Room
Epic Urean Dining is built around the rhythm of Aotearoa's producers. The menu moves with the seasons, drawing on local farms, coastal waters, and native botanicals to create dishes that feel both grounded and quietly inventive. The room itself is warm and composed: forest-green walls, cream linen, dark timber, and pockets of copper light.
We celebrate the land and sea of Aotearoa with food that is familiar and surprising in equal measure. Modern technique is used to sharpen flavor, texture, and presentation rather than to decorate the plate. Every dish is designed to work as part of a full evening, whether you are here for dinner or staying on for a considered game in the lounge.

Meet the Chef
Our chef brings experience from leading kitchens and a quiet commitment to local sourcing. The approach is direct: find the best produce available, treat it with precision, and let the ingredient lead the plate. The menu changes with the seasons, so regular guests will always find something new alongside the dishes that have become house signatures.
There is no single style imposed on the kitchen. Instead, each service is shaped by what the region offers that week, balanced with the structure and warmth that make a dining room feel like a club.

Cooking is about honoring the land and sharing it at the table.
Interior Design
Deep forest-green walls, warm cream linen, and muted copper details create an intimate, sophisticated dining room. Wood and stone add tactile warmth, while low, moody lighting pools over each table. The room is designed to feel like a private club: calm, composed, and unhurried.
A separate, stylish poker lounge with felt tables, leather chairs, and focused lighting. The card room is built for comfort and concentration, with professional tables and no screens. Play here is strictly physical and offline, in a room that feels like an extension of the dining club rather than a departure from it.
Poker Lounge
Our poker lounge is designed with the same care as the dining room. It is a place for focused games, good company, and the tactile pleasure of cards, chips, and felt. There are no screens and no online play — only the table in front of you.
