With indoor and outdoor eating options on this rainy Easter night we opted for in. Nicely appointed, maître d' seated us promptly, explained the specials and away we went. Bit of a wait for service thereafter but they were fairly busy and a bit short staffed, let's face it it's penalty rates! Wine list is short but reasonable in breadth and price. We were a boring lot an all had the lamb with Parmesan crust and creamed polenta, house made sourdough bread for the ladies and duck pork and pistachio terrine with peach chutney and a slice of toasted caraway loaf for the lads. My terrine was a bit lumpy, which would have been ok except they were chewy lumps. The bread was a slice so thin it is shaved not sliced. Could have done with two, but it was nice. The toasted sourdough was very light and nicely charred The lamb was very nice, lovely and tender but could have been a bit bigger. The polenta was beautifully creamed and the accompanying olives and roasted pepper gave the required salty snack to the dish. We passed on desert although a couple took my eye, and settled on a passable macchiato instead. Well worth a look. Given that this is Bellingen, after all, it is pretty good.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a beach-side bar, though it is in the part of the city that is closer to the beach than the main town centre. Yeah, this place was pretty cool, and even had some nice beers on tap. Okay, it was a little dark, but it certainly had the feel of one of those inner-city bars that I tend to quite like. I have to say that yeah, this place was pretty cool.

In fact, we ordered 2 more. They were that good! Charity was the friendly, wonderful server that made our experience even better. The 70 day aged Scotch Fillet was prepared to perfection. The Swordfish special was unbelievable. Fish was so flavorful, perfectly seasoned and prepared that I am now ruined for any other swordfish. Hats off to the chef. The accompaniment of pearl couscous risotto (minus the chorizo by request) with mussels was so very good that it could stand alone as its own dish. Seemingly pricey at first glance but not at all at first taste and the sight beautiful presentation. Worth every penny!!!! We were there on a very steamy day. We found respite at the high top tables at the bar where a fabulous cross breeze made us quite comfortable.
