Arc Dining And Wine Bar

BIG FLAVOUR.. Small portions.. Many dishes! Take a walk back in time with the 90s decor, and mix of high/low chairs. Your tastebuds will go on a journey with white wine riding shot gun through the early dishes and red to the end. If you like, a nice beer can ride anlong as a smelly hitchhiker. A big thanks to the boss for shouting us lunch.

First, there was the rye bread. Based on this alone, I would come back! Along with a very tasty French Rose, we tried the oysters - which had a super tart vinaigrette, the perfect accompaniment . Both were from near Port Macquarie and very good start. We tried the Sashimi - very nice finger lime and daikon for crunch.. People who like bitter stuff (Negroni lovers order up large)... Main course we had the Crab Pasta - with a really crunchy gremolata. We had a terrific Beaujolais - one of the Village series - very very good with this meal. Very casual, personable staff - great sommelier who provided great conversation and experience. Did I mention the view? Perfect

Apparently it’s a terrible decision to celebrate our wedding anniversary there. Prior to our arrival, we were attracted by the stunning view, we made a booking a week ago requesting to have window seats and it’s for our anniversary celebration, the staff who took the call confirmed. On the day we arrived, we were told that all window seats had been reserved and not available to us, we could go to the Arc bar next door for snacks if we really wanted the window seats. But we decided to stay, foods appeared to be in very small portion, one sided and thin Mackerel charged for $34, I only took a few bites to finish the main course, side dishes were too sour. Foods were overcharged and absolutely disappointed experience!
