“I have always been extremely interested in this site, with its sweeping views of the Waterfront and natural light.  It’s just a beautiful location and is driving the inspiration for the venue.  While it is still early in the process, we are creating an inviting relaxed space, perfect for our tropical lifestyle, that was really about where we are at it life at the moment,”  David Robinson, restaurant owner said.

Further to the three new restaurants; The Precinct Tavern is also investing in a new deck expansion outside the existing venue to expand al fresco dining options.
