That later service is useful after a long venue day, provided your reservation leaves time for the trip back from Albert Park. It also works for a relaxed non-tennis lunch or an evening before the weekend starts.\n\nThere is no single fixed price for an à la carte dinner. The currently linked supper menu lists a A$28 cheeseburger, A$12 fries and A$24–25 listed cocktails; a burger and fries total A$40 before drinks.
