AGNIESZKA ADACH WERSA Steakhouse Experience

From house-aged ribeye to marbled wagyu rump, every cut at AGNIESZKA ADACH WERSA is hand-selected, rested, and finished over natural wood fires for a rich, smoky tenderness that suits slow card lounge conversations and long-table gatherings alike.

Experience the Pinnacle of Australian Steakhouse Craftsmanship

Our kitchen works with a tight rotation of Australian beef, ethically sourced and carefully matured. Each steak is trimmed, seasoned, and seared to order, moving from copper-rimmed prep benches to the glowing grill and finally to linen-clad tables nestled beside our offline poker lounge.

Whether you favour a blushing medium-rare ribeye or a slow-rendered wagyu rump, our grill team tunes every cook to your preferences, pairing it with rustic sides and foraged greens that echo the Australian landscape.

  • Ethically sourced, naturally matured Australian beef
  • Heritage wood-fired grills for a deep, smoky finish
  • Shared steak platters suited to groups and chip play rituals

Card Lounge Dining & Chip Play Atmosphere

In the adjoining card lounge, poker felt tables sit just beyond the dining room’s natural timber beams. Guests can enjoy full steak service while seated near copper-embossed chip stacks, turning every hand and every slice into a shared ritual.

Our hosts coordinate timing between steak courses and offline poker table breaks, so your dining never feels rushed and your chip play remains at the heart of the experience.

  • Steak & chips pairings designed for poker table seats
  • Coordinated service around offline poker tournaments

Signature Cuts Menu

House-Aged Steaks & Rustic Grill Plates

A curated line-up of Australian steaks, from grass-fed sirloin to indulgent wagyu, plated with copper-inspired sides for genuine outback dining.

House-Aged Ribeye on the Bone

Dry-aged in-house, rich marbling, fire-kissed crust

A showcase cut for steak purists: deeply marbled Australian ribeye, aged on the bone to concentrate flavour and tenderness. Finished over glowing wood embers and brushed with a whisper of smoked tallow.

Best with Charred asparagus, copper-roasted garlic potatoes, native herb salt

Grass-Fed Sirloin

Lean, lively, and bright with mineral depth

Clean, grass-fed flavour with a focused bite. Our sirloin is seared quickly over intense heat, then rested until the fibres relax, delivering a confidently structured steak ideal for long card lounge sessions.

Suggested sides Foraged leaf salad, blistered cherry tomatoes, house jus

Marbled Wagyu Rump

Luxuriously marbled with a slow-rendered finish

A generous rump cut that carries exquisite marbling. We render it patiently over the wood grill to balance richness with a crisp outer sear, creating a steak that feels both celebratory and grounded.

Pairing idea Grilled broccolini, copper-roasted root vegetables, horseradish cream

Share-Style Tomahawk

Designed for table experiences and chip play rituals

A dramatic bone-in cut designed for sharing across the table. Perfect for groups settling into an evening of offline poker tournaments in the adjacent lounge, with carving done at the table for a touch of theatre.

Ideal for 4–6 guests, pre- or post-tournament dining, long-table celebrations
The Provenance of Our Beef

Rooted in Australian Landscapes

Traceable, hormone-free, and naturally matured.

AGNIESZKA ADACH WERSA partners with a small circle of Australian producers who share our respect for patient husbandry and transparent sourcing. Every steak can be traced back to the region it was raised in, with an emphasis on open pasture and natural growth.

We only work with hormone-free beef that is dry-aged or naturally matured for a depth of flavour that stands up to wood-fired cooking and bold wine pairings.

Producers Curated Australian farms across NSW, VIC, and QLD

Table Experiences & Lounge Combos

Our dining room flows naturally into the offline card lounge, with softly lit timber tables, copper accents, and felt-green details that echo the poker tables beyond.

  • Generous rustic tables for group steak rituals
  • Share plates built around tomahawk and ribeye cuts
  • Optional card lounge dining near poker table seats

For steak & chips pairings designed specifically for offline poker tournaments, speak with our team about timing your courses around the card schedule.

Steakhouse Evenings Our Guests Remember

Guests consistently highlight the warmth of the service team, the precision of the grill, and the distinctive offline poker ambience that frames every plate.

Corporate host, Thursday steak & tournament night

“Our offline poker group booked steak & chips pairings before settling into the felt-green tables. Service timed our courses between hands, and the tomahawk share plate became the centrepiece of the night.”

Regular card lounge guests

Steakhouse FAQ

Questions About Steaks, Dining, and Poker Table Seatings

Answers to the questions we hear most often about doneness, dietary preferences, sourcing, and card lounge bookings.

How do you handle steak doneness preferences?

Our team will always confirm your preferred doneness at the table and at the pass. We use temperature-led cooking and resting to keep steaks tender and consistent. If anything arrives other than how you like it, we will happily re-fire the steak.

Do you offer options for different dietary needs?

Yes. In addition to our core steak offering, we provide seasonal vegetarian plates, seafood, and gluten-conscious options. Please mention any dietary requirements when booking via our Reservation or Contact Us pages so we can prepare.

Where do you source your beef from?

We partner with select Australian farms that focus on open pasture, natural growth, and traceability. All beef is hormone-free and matured for flavour. Our team can share producer regions and styles at the table.

Can we reserve steak dining alongside poker table seats?

Absolutely. Many guests plan their evening around our offline poker lounge. You can request dining near the card room and coordinate timing with offline poker tournaments or casual chip play by booking through Reservation or speaking with our team via Contact Us.

Is the poker experience completely offline?

Yes. Our card lounge is dedicated to in-person, offline poker, with professional poker felt tables and copper-embossed chips. There are no digital tables or online gaming elements on-site.

How do I book for a large group or private event?

For larger groups, corporate tables, or private card lounge evenings, please reach out through the Contact Us page. We can design custom steak menus, table experiences, and chip play-friendly service flows aligned with your needs.
