Sunset at Sunbird Restaurant, sushi on the table.
Salmon and avocado, a touch of roe. Fresh, unfussy, the kind of plate that gets passed around and finished before anyone plans it that way.
Cheers to summer days ahead and good company.

That hour when the day softens. 🌇
Thursdays and Saturdays, our happy hour, exclusively for members, settles in across all our outlets. On the Sunbird deck, time eases into an unhurried rhythm, conversation stretches on, and a friendly face behind the bar already knows your order. The kind of afternoon that doesn't need an occasion,
just the people who already call this home.
T's and C's apply.

As the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean, Sunbird Restaurant came alive for an exceptional Wine & Dine evening. 🍷✨
Signature Chef Scott took guests on a culinary journey through the wines of Springfield Estate, with every course perfectly paired:
🍄 Truffle Mushroom Tart with Rocket & Balsamico, paired with Springfield Garuzis
🐟 Tempura Kingklip with Nicoise Salad & Soya Glaze, paired with Springfield Ms Lucy
🥩 Beef Fillet Saltimbocca with Bacon, Potato Fondant & Ratatouille, paired with Springfield Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon
🍫 Duo of Chocolate Fondant & Chocolate Brownie Berry Compote with Vanilla Ice Cream, paired with Springfield Work of Time
Great food, great wine, and the community coming together to enjoy it all - that's the Atlantic Beach lifestyle.

Curry Night was all about Signature Chef Scott’s blend of spices.
Friends and family catching up over a shared plate. The table that started as two and grew as neighbours walked past and pulled up chairs. The same faces, back again, at Sunbird Restaurant.
That's the part we love most.

"A room should never be too seriously decorated. I think it should have a mixture of colours, and it can be an accumulation of things that are not necessarily perfect." ~ Albert Hadley
At Sunbird Restaurant, we think the room says just as much. Every shelf, every bottle, every book has its place, but it's the people around the table that make it feel like home.
This is where residents and members catch up over lunch or dinner, share a bottle of wine, or meet for sundowners on the deck, turning an ordinary day into time well spent together.
Come pull up a chair; we promise the ambience speaks for itself.

Cheesy grins. Greasy fingers. Zero regrets. 🍕😄
Sunbird Restaurant's littlest guests know exactly how to handle a pizza board (slice it, dismantle it, or just go straight in; we don't judge). Add a golden afternoon, and you've got the perfect family outing at Sunbird Restaurant.
Bring the whole crew. We'll bring the pizza.

There's a certain hour at Sunbird Restaurant when everything just settles, the light, the mood, the room. Familiar faces behind the bar, a seat waiting for you.

Made with fire, made for you 🍕🔥
There's a reason our Sunbird Restaurant kitchen feels like the heart of Atlantic Beach. Our wood-fired pizza oven does the work: toppings piled on with care, into the flames it goes, turned just right, out hot and fresh, sliced up, and finished with love, before it lands on your table.
Whether you're unwinding after a workout, refuelling after a round of golf or a game of padel, catching up after a walk on the estate, or bringing the whole family for lunch or dinner, our kitchen is cooking for our community, one pizza at a time.
This is what home tastes like.

There's something about our sushi.
Fresh, light, and the perfect reset, whether it's a lunch break or relaxed dinner. From Salmon Maki and Californian Rolls to Rainbow Sushi, Sashimi, Roses and Nigiri, pair it with a crisp glass of white at Sunbird Restaurant.

Crisp on the outside. Flaky within. Somewhere between the two is the reason people keep coming back for our Hake & Chips. Homemade chips, twice-fried, tartar sauce, mini-Greek salad.

Three curries. One plate. Zero chill.
Signature Chef Scott doesn't do small portions or small flavours. Two Wednesdays running, this sharing plate has cleared tables at Sunbird Restaurant, and the room's been buzzing since the first bowl landed.
Every second Wednesday. You'll know when.
