James
summarizes
Customers consistently praise this iconic waterfront venue for its spectacular harbour views overlooking Manly Cove and quintessentially Manly atmosphere. The location offers a perfect escape that feels 'a million miles away' while being just minutes from the ferry wharf. Guests love the fresh, quality food and delicious cocktails, though expect premium pricing for the premium location. The venue gets busy, so bookings are recommended for this lively spot that's perfect for special occasions.
