Signature Grill Experience at BLACK Bar & Grill
Our flagship table: a four-course journey through the Josper charcoal oven, from dry-aged rib-eye to smoked chocolate, finished with a seat at the pass while the grill team works.
The menu that built our name
The Signature Grill Experience is the shortest route to understanding what BLACK Bar & Grill does best. It starts with our house sourdough and cultured butter, moves through fire-kissed seafood, and lands on the dry-aged steaks we source from a single Riverina station. Every course passes through the Josper oven, so smoke is the thread that ties the evening together.
You finish at the kitchen pass with a smoked chocolate and salted caramel creation, close enough to hear the coals shift. It is dinner and a show in one booking, and it is the experience our regulars recommend first.

Three reasons guests book this
Josper charcoal oven
Everything savoury on this menu meets the coals at 400 degrees, which gives the crust, the smoke and the aroma our grill is known for.
Single-station beef
Our rib-eye and striploin come from one Riverina property, dry-aged 35 days in-house and cut to order each service.
Sommelier pairings
Add a five-glass pairing built around Australian shiraz and cool-climate chardonnay, matched to each course on the night.
What the price covers
- House sourdough with smoked cultured butter on arrival
- Two fire-led starters to share
- Choice of 300g dry-aged rib-eye or whole grilled market fish
- Smoked chocolate dessert at the kitchen pass
- Priority entry to The Star main gaming floor after dinner
Four stages, no guessing
Arrival and the coals
You are seated within sight of the open grill. Bread service arrives with a short briefing from your waiter on where the week's beef and fish came from.
Starters from the fire
Two shared plates open the meal: think charred king prawns with lemon myrtle and roasted bone marrow with parsley salad.
The main event
Your steak or whole fish is cut, rested and carved at the pass, then finished with beef-fat potatoes and grilled greens.
Dessert at the pass
The final course is served standing at the pass counter, watching the grill team reset for the next sitting while you eat.
Good to know before you book
The experience runs as a set menu for the whole table. Dietary requirements are handled with 48 hours notice, and the pass seating works for guests aged 12 and over.
- Full table participates in the same experience
- Wine pairing adds AUD 75 per person
- Vegetarian grill menu available on request
- Pass seating suits guests 12 years and older
The rib-eye alone would justify the booking, but ending the night at the pass watching the coals is what I still talk about.
