Went there on a Saturday for lunch with a couple of friends…read more Service was excellent from the young Scottish waiter and Asian waitress - couldn't fault their enthusiasm or service skills. Food was excellent - oysters that were large and creamy and fish perfectly cooked. It's a pretty simple menu actually, but it works. If you don't like fish/seafood this is not the place for you, but if you do then I can highly recommend it. However, oysters are expensive. About $3.80 each. Which means if you want a dozen as an entree it blows the price out quite a bit, but, minimum to order is 4 so you can keep the price down by ordering less. Still, a nice casual atmosphere and a good place to go for a lazy Sunday lunch featuring fresh and well-cooked seafood dishes with good service.

Second time I've been here and it didn't disappoint. For a cafe above a shopping mall (Stocklands Balgowlah) this is a serious cut above the standard you would expect. Part of Balgowlah Seafood, which is about the best source of seafood on the Northern Beaches, certainly doesn't hurt.

And was bit rushing and zero patience in her tonality and delivery when talking to us. Didnt like how she had to even ask that. Even when taking orders, there was a slight sprinkle of condescending speaking. Food is good at least though but bad rng just walking in and getting that person. Also the bites had no bay bugs in them, just mac n cheese. Also had to get to waiter to pay instead of them coming to you.

We had the focaccia and it is delicious. My wife loves king prawns. They were grilled to perfection and the shell and finger wash bowls was nice to utilize. The special was stuffed zucchini flowers. The salmon mousse blended well with the light coating and they were fried perfectly. Dessert looked great but we were stuffed so we had to just look. Happy memories as we ferried back to Circular Quay.

Staff were friendly and attentive and recommended special was well received and executed. BYO is always a bonus to save on inflated price charged by restaurant. I had the seafood basket, unfortunately the battered fish can't be substituted for grilled. The seafood of squid, fish and prawns were all very fresh which is great, nothing beats fresh seafood. There were too much chips in the basket, supposed they were there to 'bulk up' the basket. Sad to see food wasted. Chocolate mousse was suggested for dessert and it was more than enough to share between two. I find the mousse being a bit too 'runny' for my liking. This is the sort of restaurant one needs in a 'burb' with free parking in a shopping centre.

We were offered the chefs banquet. Dips , salads, pitta bread , calamari , chargrilled octopus and a meat platter. Heaps of food, plus some of our group ordered their own dishes to add to the banquet, the spanakopita and stuffed red peppers were a hit. The restaurant is licensed with a nice selection of greek wines,they let us bring in our own wine at only $10 a bottle, and we ordered a couple from the list, great value. Everyone was pretty full at the end of the meal , so we only ordered a couple of desserts to finish. great dinner .Thanks guys . Definitely worth the visit.

It is well away from the typical tourist area in Manly so has a relaxed atmosphere. The sea food was excellent. My son had the grilled scallops then a half a dozen oysters as starters.

He got 2 large collars that literally melted in the mouth..I had the catch of the day. Both were cooked to perfection.
