The Fireplace measured up with flying colours against all judging criteria of the

important to diners in a restaurant experience.
Head Sous Chef Obie Faulkner said he was thrilled to have won, as the Awards for
Excellence set the national benchmark and is one of the most respected industry
awards.
"I feel really proud - the restaurant is a spectacular space and the team and myself
have worked very hard to create the menu, so it's very rewarding," he said.
 The restaurant is now busy preparing for the State Titles to be held in Brisbane,
with an ultimate aim of making it through to the national round.
The Fireplace is located on the lower level of The Great House, Hyatt Regency
Sanctuary Cove and features a custom made wood-fired oven, an open kitchen and
a stunning menu and wine list. The restaurant is open from 6:00pm until 10:00 pm
nightly. Phone 07 5530 1234 to reserve bookings.
