A contemporary bar and restaurant, serving modern-Australian dishes with seasonal eating in mind.

Channelling the timeless allure of 1930's design, the interior boasts rich oak panelling, emerald hues, decadent leather and bronze finishes. The space offers three intimate dining areas, known as The Northern Terrace, The Dining Room and The Cellar - our Private Dining Room.

The main feature of TOTE is casual dining with premium quality food from well sourced high quality and sustainable produce.

It features a contemporary offering from coffee, craft beer and creative cocktails to carefully curated local & imported wines and spirits.

The bar itself is modelled to the development’s quintessential roots – the racecourse – and is aptly shaped in an oval form to mirror it.

As locals always happy to support local business. As a table of 6 we all had been looking forward to dining at Tote for a special occasion. Unfortunately, we left disappointed with the long wait time for our meals to arrive. The $37 “Steak frites 200g, black garlic butter” basically porterhouse steak was a fatty, tough, chewy piece of poor quality meat. The $44 barramundi served was small but somewhat reasonable until we discovered some scales still left behind on the skin, needless to say totally unacceptable. The $44 “Rangers Valley beef cheek, golden gnocchi, celeriac purée” was a poor attempt to present a fancy dish instead it was served as a solid piece of beef cheek with 4-5 gnocchi tossed to the side of the plate. This is not a gnocchi dish and should have been explained when the order was placed. Overall disappointing, over priced, felt ripped off, underwhelming, we will not be returning!

Steaks were very nice. Service great and steak night not bad value as it includes a wine or beer. Ambience is also great.

We have eaten here and had a function. I cannot say enough good things about TOTE. The service is impeccable and the food is fantastic! It’s kind of hidden away, but has its own parking and the grounds are beautiful. It even has a little park if you have kids! What a hidden gem! Highly recommend!
