About Onyx Grill

Tucked on the quiet ground floor of Crowne Plaza, Onyx Grill swaps Burwood’s street clatter for wood-fired char and unhurried dining. Diners gravitate here when conversation matters as much as the cut. The open hearth leaves a smoky crust on dry-aged tomahawks, Wagyu rumps, and charred corn, while servers keep pacing smooth and glasses charged. An evening flows easily from salmon crudo and bone marrow to truffle mash and citrus-smoked cocktails.

  • Wood-Fired Hearth: Steaks and sides cook over open timber coals, finishing with a tender bite and distinctive smoky crust.
  • Calm Hotel Haven: Set on the Crowne Plaza ground floor, the dining room keeps noise low enough for easy conversation.
  • Attentive Floor Care: Staff guide guests through share cuts and cocktails with warm, attentive floor service.
