As local I have been walking passed Fish Cafe almost weekly. Finally had lunch. The prices are very reasonable for Manly. We opted for the $40 winter menu. The seafood chowder was sensational. Excellent flavour, tender calamari and prawns and muscles. Lightly peppered. Then the scallop pie was good as well. A good amount of scallop pieces in a nice sauce. The service is a standout. Very attentive, cutlery replaced after each course (rare these days!!) The two girls running the floor do a great job, even when the restaurant was busy. Definitely be back.

Our hotel in Brisbane had suggested eating dinner at the Jellyfish, and we are certainly glad they did! The atmosphere is casual and comfortable with a beautiful view, especially of the colored lights on the bridge at night. The specialty is fish, and it was wonderful! The food was fresh, cooked to perfection and delicious. Our waitress Natalie (Nala) was especially friendly and attentive. I do not hesitate to give this restaurant a great rating!

The renovation completed, certainly was welcomed and well over due. (And in my opinion, more to go) But thought into addressing days when there is wind with shutters, new umbrellas, a revitalised menu is a good start. Extended deck and more seating. Still has the best view of sunset and the staff are friendly and attentive. Food is good, albeit slightly over priced for what you get. But you get the location included!

We enjoyed an anniversary meal here. Casual but friendly and attentive service. Good menu with plenty of choice - we enjoyed everything we had. Nice outlook to the sea (we had a table by the windows on the seaward side). Overall ambience and food means this place can be relied upon on special occasions. We will definitely be back.

Seventh day of her 8-day birthday festival in Sydney and we're still speaking to each other. Another magic Spring day so we took the slow ferry across to Manly (the site of our honeymoon in 1975). We were a bit early for our lunch reservation so we had a drink in the bar - the usual martini and margarita (creatures of habit).Our table on the window at the far end of the restaurant afforded a great view of the Harbour but we found ourselves playing bus roulette for much of the meal. You'll know what that means if you go there for lunch. The staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient, particularly Jennifer from Ottowa who looked after us for most of the meal.Our entrees were wonderful. Her blue eye and lobster raviolo was, apparently, fantastic but my burrata caprese salad kept me very happy and was equal to the best caprese I've ever had in Italy. For mains, she had the whole rock lobster and I had the crumbed boarfish. I hadn't heard of boarfish before but it was recommended by Jennifer and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The green salad which accompanied our mains was simple but excelllent. Our bottle of Silver Palms chardonnay was a perfect pairing with the meal but had to be supplemented by glasses of Castelli chardonnay.Despite the noise from the large group of girls next to us, we were rather settled so we both had a couple of Irish coffees (with Dom Benedictine instead of whiskey) and agreed that they were even better than the ones we'd had at platform 818 at the start of the festival. We took the fast ferry back to Circular Quay and we'll return to Garfish next time we visit Sydney.

3. Hugos Manly

Set on the Manly Wharf where the ferry docks this restaurant is in a splendid position and many seats and tables have excellent views to Sydney Harbour and the beach next to the wharf. Staff were pleasant though food arrived slowly suggesting the kitchen was struggling. Still my oysters were utterly splendid while the crispy skin barramundi was perhaps overcooked. The sweet potato and ginger mash had no taste of anything except sweet potato and the brown sauce did nothing for the fish. Other courses chosen by my husband were certainly generous and I gather the battered fish of the fish and chips was excellent. The starter of meat balls in a tomato sauce was like a main meal so starter prices were barely less than those for mains. And the martini was ridiculously expensive. $190+ for two courses, two glasses of wine and two cocktails is steep in anyoneâs money for this food.

Having visited The Sardine Room in Potts Point five years ago, I was sad it has closed; however, the owners decided to move the business to Manly and open up the Herring Room. I remained on their mailing list all this time so I knew they had moved.Five years later, I returned to Sydney and the first place I had to visit was the Herring Room. So, after five years the lovely owners Ange and Rodney recognised me and that made my evening. Not only that, I asked about a particular dessert Iâd had at The Sardine Room (a Greek semolina pudding) which wasnât on the menu at the Herring Room. Low and behold, Rodney only went home to get me some so I could have it again. Now thatâs service for you. Sometimes you come across a special place and special people like Ange and Rodney. The Sardine Room lives on in the Herring Room, because the owners have kept the reputation and quality of the service and food to a very high standard and people keep coming back.Itâs worth the ferry ride across from the CBD just to visit The Herring Room and be greeted by the excellent staff and lovely owners.
