Terms and Conditions
These terms govern your use of Best 10 Compare and its guide to curated dining, seasonal menus, restaurant atmosphere, private group occasions and venue-based card lounge experiences. They are written in plain Australian English to help you use our editorial information, venue pathways and reservation options with clear expectations.
Please read these terms before using the website or sending an enquiry. Terms current at the time of publication.
What the guide covers
Best 10 Compare is a premium multi-page Australian restaurant guide. We curate dining ideas, seasonal menu notes, restaurant atmosphere observations, venue-gallery material and in-person card lounge experiences to help visitors explore considered places to meet, eat and spend an evening. Our editorial Top 10 and Best 10 selections are designed as a useful starting point for discovering venue information and finding an accessible reservation pathway where one is available.
The guide may include written features, practical venue references, images and host-story material that describe the character of a dining room, private group setting, card room or poker table environment. It is intended to support thoughtful planning, not to replace direct discussion with a venue.
AcceptanceBy accessing Best 10 Compare or using material published here, you accept these terms. If they do not suit the way you wish to use the site, please do not continue to use it or send an enquiry through it. These terms concern a content and enquiry website; they do not create an account, purchase, subscription or remote service.
Who the information is forOur information is for diners and private groups seeking refined food, warm hospitality and venue-based card evenings. Needs and preferences differ from one visit to another, so use the relevant venue information or reservation path where available to ask about the occasion you are planning.
Editorial selection and personal judgement
Best 10 and Top 10 selections reflect editorial curation. They are offered as helpful guidance, rather than a promise that every venue or experience will suit every visitor. A selection can help narrow a search, but your own dining preferences, group needs and expectations of atmosphere should remain central to your decision.
- Use our selections as an editorial reference when considering a meal, a seasonal menu, a private group occasion or a venue-based card evening.
- Consider the practical details that matter to you before making plans, including the style of service, the setting and the needs of everyone attending.
Menus, availability, opening arrangements, venue features and event details can change. Before making plans, confirm material details directly with the relevant venue, especially dietary needs, accessibility needs and private group arrangements. Best 10 Compare does not represent that it has live venue data, and a guide entry should not be treated as a substitute for a venue's current information.
Images, written descriptions and host stories aim to convey the character of a venue with care. They may not represent every current detail of a visit, from a particular menu item to the arrangement of a room on a given evening. We encourage visitors to enjoy the editorial context while confirming the details that are important to them.
Offline card lounge experiences
All poker and card lounge experiences described by Best 10 Compare take place offline at the venue. There is no online poker and no remote participation. References to an in-person card lounge experience, card room or poker tables describe part of a hosted venue evening, where people attend the venue itself and engage with its atmosphere, hospitality and practical arrangements.
When attending a card lounge evening or using poker tables, please follow the relevant venue's instructions, host guidance and applicable venue conditions. In particular:
- Conduct yourself respectfully toward venue staff, hosts and other guests, and pay attention to the arrangements communicated for the evening.
- Use the space, tables and any non-financial table pieces provided by the venue in the way the venue or host asks.
Venue-based card evenings should be arranged or confirmed through the relevant reservation or venue information pathway when one is provided. A guide reference does not promise that a particular arrangement will be available on a particular date.
Reservations and private group requests
A reservation or enquiry submitted through an available site pathway is a request for dining, a private group occasion or a venue-based card lounge evening. It is subject to the relevant venue's response and arrangements. Best 10 Compare may help visitors find an accessible reservation control or relevant venue information, but does not imply that it directly operates every listed venue or that a request is already a confirmed venue arrangement.
When using a reservation pathway, provide accurate contact and occasion details that are relevant to planning. This is particularly helpful where a group, accessibility consideration, dietary need or card lounge interest affects the visit. Keep your information focused on what is necessary for the enquiry, and confirm any further details directly with the venue if requested.
- Occasion: describe the dining, private group or card lounge evening you are considering.
- Group: indicate the size and general needs of the group where relevant.
- Access: note an accessibility consideration that may affect practical planning.
- Dining: identify a dietary need or menu question that needs venue confirmation.
Before your visit, confirm the practical details that matter directly with the relevant venue, including menu suitability, access needs, group arrangements and the availability of a card lounge experience. These details can change, and direct confirmation supports responsible, comfortable planning for everyone attending.
