SUMMER’S COMING LET’S GO TO HARBA Perfectly located just a quick step along the Esplanade from Main Street, Mornington. Harba Oyster Bar and Grill overlooks Mornington Park with views of Port Philip Bay. Harba’s summer menu introduces some delicious dishes. Chef Adam Falls, who is so clever in the kitchen, has added dishes including ginger-mirrin scallops with crispy rice, coriander-cucumber puree, fried shallots and herb salad with a palm sugar glaze. Red meat lovers will adore the new rack of lamb, stuffed with goats cheese and spinach, accompanied by pearl cous cous and harissa battered carrots. Spectacular desserts continue to evolve with a torched fig and mascarpone tart with house-made honeycomb and baby mint the latest sensation. In any season Harba’s steaks are a house-specialty. Tuesday is discount steak night, with Adam grilling a perfect porterhouse for $23 or wagyu for $29. The Harba seafood platter is awesome at $99 for two. During the week, enjoy the two course lunch special or sip on a glass of wine with a share plate on the alfresco deck. Acoustic Tuesday is held upstairs in the Sunset Lounge and gives budding musicians a chance at the microphone while also being a great spot for the young crowd who love to
listen. Bar snacks and light meals are discounted. On Sunday afternoons the sweet sounds of Sarah Gardner or some twang from Bill Dettmer or The Acoustic Cats is the perfect way to wrap up a good weekend. NEW: On Thursday evenings, the Trivia Night will test your wits and your knowledge. On New Year’s Eve Harba will hold another of its legendary beach parties with cocktail specialties and a live band to fill the bill. Bookings are essential. Harba serves lunch and dinner daily at 786 on the Esplanade in Mornington. Phone 5975 1183.
