Golden State Menu

Our Menus

SoCal is all about fresh & modern Southern Californian ‘share-style’ street food, packed with Latin American spices alongside house-made sauces and freshly indulgent sides.

The food and drinks are a reflection of what is commonly found along Highway 101. Our Head Chef Chris Webber alongside Applejack Culinary Director Patrick Friesen have collaborated on a fresh menu direction featuring delicious tacos, shares and mains. The creativity has produced a mix of shared dishes comprising of fresh seafood, North American cooking techniques and Mexican flavours.

Offering an extensive beverage list developed by Bar Manager Owen Trickett, SoCal is the place to unwind after a long day. The dedicated Margarita menu offers no less than 8 variations, and the tequila and mezcal flights are unmissable for agave enthusiasts.

*We cater for most dietary requirements. Whilst all reasonable efforts are taken to accommodate dietary needs, we cannot guarantee that our food will be allergen free. Prices and items are subject to seasonal changes.
A 15% surcharge applies on all public holidays.
