The Hardwood Ballina

Great restaurant, fast and friendly service, with well seasoned delicious dishes and a good selection of drinks. Recommend the Saltimbocca and the apple and macadamia cake. Rate a price for 3 courses.

This was the best dining experience! Every dish was bursting with flavor. Even on a crowded night, Jess made us feel like we were the only ones there. Treat yourself and visit this fantastic restaurant.

The Cove in Ballina is a fantastic restaurant with delicious food, excellent service, and a great atmosphere. We were fortunate to celebrate the Financial Year End there and it was the perfect way to end the year with amazing food, impeccable service, and a warm, friendly environment. My wife enjoyed the shrimp and I couldn't resist the pork belly, both dishes were fantastic! The Angus Filet we had was perfectly cooked to medium-rare, and the roasted pumpkin, broccolini, and potatoes were all incredibly tasty. We finished off with cheesecake and chocolate mousse for dessert, both of which were delicious. I highly recommend making a reservation to experience this wonderful restaurant!

We celebrated a birthday here it was a Saturday night and a party of 12. There was a set menu we chose the 2 course option. The Entres and the net came very close to each other, so no waiting for the dishes. My Squid was generous too. My main meal salmon was nice with fresh well cooked vegetables. We enjoyed our night the staff were friendly and attentive.

We have come here every time we go to Ballina, and the Cove never disappoints. So friendly, delicious food and value for money with the set menu, and great cocktails!
