It was lovely to return one of Sydney’s icon restaurants. The family feel, quality of cooking and efficient, friendly staff make you feel right at home. As we expected a great range of fresh seafood was on the menu and thoroughly enjoyed. Nice to see a cocktail list added to the drinks menu and the very underrated Doyle’s wines and beer are still available. Add in the wonderful location, novel ferry ride to get there and the views, made a lunch a great occasion for the family. We won’t wait so long to return next time. Cheers, Rob S.

Food was amazing, genuinely one of the best meals we've had in 2024, really nice environment, just what Manly needed. We had the 'build your own banquet' option and every course was wonderful. If you go you must try the beef cheek taco, OMG!
