This guide helps you describe the balance that matters to your group before you make an enquiry.
Choose dining, card lounge or offline poker table time before you enquire.
Best 10 planning routes
Begin with the part of the venue that matters most to your group. A clear focus gives shape to the reservation conversation, whether you are gathering around the gourmet menu, settling into the card lounge, looking towards offline poker tables, or making a social chip tournament the occasion. The choices below are planning routes, not promises of a particular arrangement.
Choose this route when the meal should lead the pace. It helps your group describe a Melbourne-inspired table atmosphere where the gourmet menu is the main event, with card lounge time considered as part of a relaxed, shared evening.
Top 10Choose this route when shared seating, conversation and a polished card lounge atmosphere are the heart of the visit. It gives the venue useful context for a lounge-led gathering that values time around the tables.
Choose this route when offline poker is central to the plan. Naming poker tables and the offline card room directly distinguishes a table-focused visit from a broader card lounge catch-up and keeps the enquiry venue-based.
Chip tournamentChoose this route when social chip tournaments set the tone for the gathering. It is a simple way to signal that the card-room occasion, social chips and tournament atmosphere are important parts of what your group hopes to explore.
Top 10 details
A thoughtful enquiry does not need to be complicated. It simply gives the venue a useful picture of the occasion and the parts of Best10recommended your group most wants to include.
Start with the occasion: perhaps a meal, a card lounge catch-up, time around offline poker tables, or a social chip tournament visit. That simple starting point helps orient the request around your group’s intention without assuming a particular booking outcome. It also makes it easier to explain what would make the visit feel most considered.
Mention whether your group expects to eat, spend time in the card lounge, focus on poker tables, or combine those elements. A dining-led arrival can feel different from an evening shaped around the card room. Clear priorities give the venue a better sense of the integrated hospitality experience you hope to create.
A few plain words about who is joining you can make the seating conversation more natural. You might describe the gathering as a catch-up, a meal with friends, or a group keen to explore the lounge together. This is helpful context, not a formal requirement, and it keeps the enquiry focused on the feeling of the occasion.
If offline poker is central, say so directly. The card room and poker tables are a different planning emphasis from a general card lounge visit, even though both can belong to the same evening. Naming offline poker alongside your dining or lounge priorities gives a clearer picture of the physical card-room context your group wants to discuss.
When a social chip tournament is the feature, make that part of the enquiry. It signals that the card-room atmosphere matters to the occasion, whether your group is drawn to social chips, a shared leaderboard-style energy, or simply the social tournament setting. It is a planning cue rather than a statement about event rules.
Best 10 / Dining intention
The gourmet menu can be the main event, or it can be one part of a longer card lounge evening. Sharing which balance you hope for helps the reservation conversation begin with the right pace: a meal-led visit that lingers over the table, or a lounge-led visit where food supports conversation and the atmosphere around the cards.
Think of coastal bistro refinement as a feeling rather than a fixed itinerary. Best10recommended brings Melbourne-inspired hospitality to the table, so a simple note about the role food should play can make your preference clear without turning the visit into a separate restaurant reservation system.
Offline poker
Offline poker tables and the offline card room deserve direct mention when they shape the visit. Alongside dining and card lounge priorities, saying that poker tables matter gives the venue practical context for the kind of physical, social setting your group hopes to explore. It is a clear way to frame card-room intent without treating every lounge visit as the same experience.
A card lounge visit can be conversational and social even when poker tables are part of the atmosphere. If your group is looking for a card lounge setting, say so; if offline poker is the focus, name that too. The distinction helps express whether shared lounge time or a table-focused card-room experience leads the plan.
Card room highlight
Social chip tournaments are a distinct card-room highlight that you can name when they are central to the occasion. A tournament-centred visit may sit alongside the card room, offline poker tables and lounge atmosphere, but it is useful to identify social chips and chip tournaments as the reason your group is gathering. That keeps the enquiry general, clear and grounded in the venue experience.
Distinguish a card lounge gathering from a chip tournament occasion. Both can be social, but naming the atmosphere that leads gives your enquiry a more accurate purpose and keeps the visit from being described as generic seating.
You can mention whether the group is drawn to offline poker, the wider card room, poker tables, or the social chip tournament highlight. Those words help separate the parts of the physical venue that matter most without presuming any sequence of play.

These are gentle preparation prompts, not house rules. They are simply ways to make a physical-venue visit feel clear, considerate and relaxed from the first conversation.
Arrive with the group’s main intention in mind so dining, card lounge seating and offline poker table priorities can be communicated simply. A shared plan does not need to be rigid; it is just a considerate way to begin the visit with everyone oriented around the same kind of evening.
Keep the card lounge social by allowing conversation, dining and card-room moments to coexist. The card lounge and the card room can carry different energies, so it helps to let the group enjoy the pace of the setting rather than treating every table as the same experience.
Where offline poker, poker tables, social chips or chip tournaments matter most, communicate that emphasis early. It is a gracious way to make the card-room context visible in the enquiry while recognising that a particular table or experience should never be assumed.
An easy, specific enquiry is more useful than a vague request. Name the kind of occasion and the elements the group hopes to explore, such as dining, the lounge or offline poker. A simple phrase like the one below is often enough to set a warm, helpful tone.
“We’re planning a dining-led card lounge visit.”
Top 10 prep
Consider when your group would like to gather and what should shape that moment. A concise enquiry becomes easier to understand when you have decided whether the visit is connected mainly to dining, card lounge conversation, offline poker tables or chip tournaments. These are preparation questions, not statements about venue schedules or availability.
Describe the gourmet menu and card lounge atmosphere as parts of one occasion. Consider whether food is the core focus or a complement to conversation, then use that preference to frame the visit in a natural, unhurried way.
Differentiate card room intent from card lounge ambience. Naming offline poker and poker tables alongside the broader card lounge gives a clearer picture of whether shared lounge time or the physical table setting is most important.
Identify the gathering as a social chip tournament occasion rather than a generic lounge visit. This keeps chip tournaments visible as the reason for the group’s interest without implying a timetable, format or participation outcome.
Best 10 recap
A clear reservation enquiry can begin with the balance you prefer: a gourmet menu moment, a card lounge gathering, an offline poker focus, or a social chip tournament occasion. Naming the card room and poker tables when they matter helps distinguish the physical venue experience your group hopes to have. There is no need to over-explain—an inviting, specific outline is a strong place to start.
