    Whalebone restaurant is regarded as 1 of the best in Port Macquarie for a reason. That's because it is excellent. I wanted a venue for a special occasion for my grand daughter and Whalebone delivered. If you haven't been there I recommend you put it on your bucket list. If you have been there I expect you will want to go there again

    A week day late lunch for five. Great seating right on the river. They didn’t seem to cope well with the latish booking and there was some pressure to order mains quickly. Staff had limited knowledge of the wine they were serving. Excellent meal.
