The Wild Herring

Overview

The Wild Herring is The Anchorage's flagship restaurant, situated overlooking the resort's pool and the marina and ocean beyond. Open for dinner service from Thursday to Saturday, the restaurant is the sophisticated, fine dining option that a romantic weekend away no doubt calls for.

Executive chef Michael Jenkins' menu gives diners the choice of two courses for $68 or three for $86, plus the choice to add in matching wines, too. By this point, it shouldn't come as a surprise that this menu also heavily features the region's seafood, which you can find celebrated well in starters like spanner crab tortellini with crab bisque and oysters poached with miso and mains like Moreton Bay Bug risotto. Finish your meal on a decadent high with red wine poached pear with olive oil sponge or dark chocolate cremeux with cherry confit. Then, after dinner, pop over to Moby's Bar, get cosy in one of the leather armchairs and end your evening by sampling some of the world's finest whiskies.
