Public Dining Room launched in October of 2009 after extensive renovations by leading design firm Hecker and Guthrie.
Formerly known as Watermark this iconic site is positioned on beautiful Balmoral Beach, flooded with natural light and stunning views across to Middle Head and Manly.

A relaxed luxe space has been created featuring raw and natural materials of American oak, marble, Belgian linen, blackened steel, Italian lighting and the classic Charles Eames chairs.

The restaurant reflects casual fine food; our passion is to source selected produce from small farmers throughout Australia, while seeking out hard to find ingredients, sustainable fish and heirloom varieties of vegetables, our menu is constantly evolving to excite the diner.

Enjoy a casual selection of small eats from our tapas inspired menu or choose a more traditional style of dining from our a la carte menu. Our brand is modern; one that is open and engaging, nostalgic and handcrafted.

The restaurant’s name is linked to the historical aspects of the site, which incorporates the old Public Baths dating back to as early as 1898, an era in which public bathing was rife with much controversy. The baths are considered a statement of social, cultural & heritage significance.

We invite you to enjoy our dining room
