    Arrogant approach to larger bookings is surprising but appears more common in hospitality nowadays like they are doing us a favour to be open and take our business. On the day itself, staff were friendly and helpful so a real turnaround. Thank you for the good experience when it ultimately mattered.

    As a newly arrived Queenslander this was our first visit to Manly Boathouse Restaurant and were surprised to find car parking spaces available. And the restaurant didn't disappoint. Every staff member was friendly, polite and attentive. We were given the best table in the room and as we had booked early for dinner were able to take advantage of the vista. Although the restaurant was very busy and full our service was swift and our food and drink orders arrived promptly. Between us we had fresh oysters, Morton Bay bug slider, popcorn chicken, garlic sourdough, scallop risotto, barramundi and the fish of the day-snapper in a Thai green curry sauce. All were well presented and tasty. We had a lovely, friendly evening in a welcoming restaurant and will now become regular visitors.

    We have loved dining at this restaurant since it opened. The food and service is always the absolute best. To be seated close to the water with amazing views tops off the experience.

    Noise level too much to be able to hold a conversation. Food presentation requires improvement. Price was a little expensive for what it was worth.

    Great food and service - but far too noisy. Couldn’t even have a conversation at your table.
