   We were a group of 14 and ordered the set menu for half of us as we had a few children . They were very flexible and even swapped one of the items in the menu for something else. The staff were friendly and accomodating , patient with the young kids too which is always a plus ! The food was delicious but for the price per person for the set menu, there wasn’t enough food for the amount of people to share it . Portions were small in comparison to other restaurants with set menus.

   Great and warm service. Food came quickly where the wagyu beef with Peruvian ponzu was spectacular. Lobster was a dream and the grilled cabbage as well. Only downside is that they serve Chilean pisco instead of Peruvian as the restaurant is labeled as a fusion betweenJapanese and Peruvian cuisines

   An Amazing Dining Experience My wife and I had a fantastic evening at Nikkita Restaurant in Manly. From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed and taken care of. The ambience was just right: cozy, elegant, and perfect for a special night out to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Every dish we tried was a standout, both in flavour and presentation. The starters, beef tartar and ceviche rojo, and the mains, Angus Steak and Lobster, were perfectly prepared and cooked. The drink Fire Ginger was warm and refreshing at the same time. The service was impeccable, attentive without pushy, and sincere about what they did. It's rare to find a place that nails the food, the vibe, and the hospitality all at once, but Nikkita truly delivered. We left feeling full and happy and are already planning our next visit. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

   Food was fabulous. But the atmosphere was boring, service terrible. They tried to sneak extra dishes and drinks onto the bill and it was supposed to be all included drinks for two hours, but we waited over half an hour for drinks. Would have been happy to pay more, rather than feel ignored and ripped off on the bill. Despite the great food, will not go back

   Hi Keely, We’re thrilled you enjoyed the food and truly sorry the rest of your experience didn’t meet expectations. The extra items (Coronas and ceviche) were mistakenly added by a new team member, but our manager caught and corrected the bill before it was mentioned. For the drinks, our system shows a wait under 10 minutes, but we understand it can feel much longer when you’re waiting. Since we make all our cocktails fresh, they can take a little extra time. Our manager said you left seeming happy, so we’re surprised by the review, but we truly appreciate the feedback and are working hard to improve. Constanza Henriquez – Owner

   The food is absolutely delicious, but despite having oysters, two shared small plates, and one shared large plate (as recommended), we were still hungry and had to order another small plate and two desserts. Even then it wasn’t filling, there’s hardly any carbs on the whole menu. Service was average - drinks took more than 30 minutes to arrive and when we asked about the fish of the day, the waitress rudely snapped “snapper” (funnily enough) and we had to ask for more info (“grilled” was all the info she had to offer!) They comped the slow drinks but we had to remind them of that when I read the bill. It’s a shame because the flavours of the food really are lovely, but it ended up costing a lot to fill our bellies and the service was disappointing. I should point out one waitress was friendly but not diligent (slow drinks, took a long time to return and take our order), the other was rude (the snapper one) and there was a third one that comped the drinks and she seemed friendly and helpful, but she disappeared after that. It was all a bit weird. I won’t be back, plenty of other good options in Manly.

    Next level food and drinks - simply outstanding! Delightful servers simply rounded out what I describe as the best meal in Manly.
