Signature Steaks & Rare Cuts

Grill-Fired Rituals, Cellar-Worthy Pairings

At Fortune & Fork, every plate is a deliberate play. Our chefs work exclusively with regionally sourced Australian beef, favouring rare breed and pasture-raised producers. Cuts are dry-aged in-house, then charred over custom hardwood embers for a deep, smoky crust and a tender, ruby core.

Complement your cut with tableside sauces, seasonal sides built around Victorian produce, and a cellar-driven list of old-world reds, new-wave Australian pinot, and fortifieds designed to follow your final hand.

Signature Steaks

  • 45-Day Dry-Aged Ribeye Bone-in · Smoke-kissed · Ideal with Islay
  • Wagyu Striploin Marble-rich · Sliced for sharing
  • Chef's Rare Cut Rotation Limited nightly allocation

The Poker Club

An Emerald Lounge For Live Texas Hold'em

Slip beyond the main dining room into a velvet-draped card lounge where the lighting softens, conversation settles, and the felt takes centre stage. Our offline poker club is exclusively in-venue — designed for guests who appreciate a measured game, professional croupiers, and the quiet theatre of live felt tables.

Poker tables are spaced for privacy, each with premium chip stacks, custom emerald felt, and dedicated service from our grill and bar. Whether you are polishing your strategy or hosting a private offline poker night, every detail is tuned for focus and discretion.

Is there a dress code?
We ask guests to observe a smart, polished dress code suitable for a private members club. Tailored denim, shirts, blouses, and smart footwear are welcome; athletic wear and branded sports jerseys are not.

Use our reservation panel to request both dining and poker in a single booking, or note your preference in the comments field. Our team will confirm table timings to create a seamless transition from grill to felt.
