   Lovely view. Great food and wine at what we considered a reasonable cost as we were there for a celebration. Excellent service.

   Due to my poor mental arithmetic I had booked for 5 when it should have been 7 but his didn't faze the staff at all and a larger table was set up in minutes for us. The view of the river was delightful as always. We spent rather a long time deciding on our orders but settled on one each of all the sides which pleased the vegetarian very much and we enjoyed all the dishes so didn't have room for dessert.nm As usual the service was excellent. Best place we know of for lunch especially.

    We ordered 2x seafood platters $180.00 each + entree of scallops and an extra main dish of Pasta. The platters were sparse and the flavour very ordinary. Highly overated and far too expensive for what we got. We wont return.

    We previously had a great experience here and brought friends with us this occasion. Service was great and staff were friendly. Unfortunately the downfall was the food. Scallops over cooked. Sauce on the prawns over powered everything, oysters kilpatrick were tiny and the sauce really unpleasant, kingfish was the most disappointing. Again, overcooked and no taste. The accompanying sauces available for selection were unimpressive to say the least. My husband enjoyed his seafood chowder and desserts were good. Overall we were embarrassed that we suggested it to our friends. Very disappointing experience.

    As always Whalebone never disappoints us. Only one thing, I think there’s too much Cumin in the beetroot relish on the scallops you don’t get to appreciate the scallop! Broccolini was sensational 😋

    Stunning view of the river and the warmth of the sun beaming in, loved the decor. Staff are attentive and professional yet not fussy and over bearing. We appreciated that the boss/owner is actively working and engaging with customers. That shows pride in his team, food and establishment. The meals were well presented, full of flavour and perfectly cook. Love the unique sides to share at our table and all enjoyed with a few bottles of bubbles! My sister from the Gold Coast was also impressed with the standard of our local restaurant. Thank you for an awesome experience. We will definitely be back!

    Best food I have ever eaten! I had been recommended by friends to eat here (I’m from Coffs Harbour) and I am so glad we did. The service from all staff was amazing, drinks were superb and the food was outstanding. Even on a cloudy day the location was still mesmerising. Thank you so much, next time I am in town I will definitely be eating here!

    The food was poor. Overcooked bacon and sprouts I had a steak with garlic butter sauce. I expected the sauce to be served on the side but it was all over the steak. The steak was literally swimming in it. Entree was average. I would describe my food as pub food at best, but it was far more expensive. A real shame as we were at the whalebone years ago and it was a very different experience. We will be back in Port Macquarie in November with friends but will not come to this restaurant.

    Small menu which is enables them to do things well. Lovely fresh fish with an interesting and delicious pick of sauces and sides you can choose from to accompany your fish main. Great service. Downside.. it is a bit too pricey.

    Lovely setting, placed at a window table which was nice. Excellent service. Entrees were nice but a little small. The mains and dessert were the highlight of our dinner. Some of the menu is a little overpriced for what you actually get. Nice restaurant but probably wouldn't rush back any time soon.
