Unfortunately due to the high ceilings and lack of soft furnishings, the venue is very noisy. If you're planning on bringing elderly with ear aids, this is definitely not the place to bring them especially in the summer when they're super busy. Although the food was very good all around, from the rib eye, salmon and the cod, it was a eat and run forget about dessert as we couldn't hear anyone talk. We were very excited to try the newly renovated place out but soon realised so did everyone else. The rooms upstairs which are meant to be ready soon were very nicely done up too. Very cozy rooms though. Just enough space for an overnighter. Great location, parking is a bit tough on a nice summer's day and overall the pricing reflects the venue.

Neither of us drink alcohol but having done so for many years the suggested pairings that accompany each course look bang on and if that doesn't suit the palate the wine spirit and aperitif menus are extensive Only problem for us was leaving Sydney soon after this meal to move to LA and not being able to get back there soon enough but return we will thanks to all the staff for making our first visit a memorable one

Jonah's is one of those places that sits on your to-visit list for a while because it is a bit of a…read moretricky location on the Northern Beaches. However, NOW is the time to go, as the whales are passing by, and you are almost sure to see some from the delightful terrace. The restaurant is delightfully decorated, and the location is absolutely stunning, with views that are unbeatable. All the tables have some sort of a view, although as we were in the middle of the restaurant we were somewhat limited - however the helpful wait staff moved us to the window when some folks left, in time for desert and coffee. To be clear, this is a pricey spot - you will pay top dollar for a meal, however the food is delightful to the eye and the palate, with a robust selection of mains and entrees, an amuse bouche that was delightful, and fantastic bread to start. We arrived a little early to have a cocktail on the veranda - lovely outdoor seating with a stunning view, the martini chilled to perfection, and the cosmo to her satisfaction. As our table was ready we moved through quite quickly, but no real hurry - staff were accommodating and we had a look at the menus and the wine list while we lingered outdoors. Some fantastic wines including a very expensive Mollydooker that took my eye and our breath away - I could not resist, as it was a kind of special occasion. So, why not 5 stars? In this day of fine dining everywhere, I reserve the 5 stars for the very best or the unexpectedly fantastic. Jonah's is a 4.5 star, but to be honest there was nothing in the meal that made us go Wow! I could eat that all night! It was all beautiful and tasty and delightfully presented - but that is what I expect for a meal of this calibre and price. In any event, an experience not to be missed, highly recommended. And we saw lots of whales!

Do not go to this place unless you dont mind being very disappointed.

You can't give yourself a nickname! Had they called it…read moresay, "Whale Beach Cafe" then, assuming it was worthy enough for us to care, we could have called it Whaleys or something equally purile. They have usurped our god given right to give it a silly name... and done it themselves. Not bad for a little beachy cafe. GHB just wanted a bacon roll. No egg, no sauce just a bacon roll, clearly requested and affirmed by the wait staff. Why then does it come covered in BBQ sauce, aoli and rocket? I suppose I could have mentioned it and maybe they would have fixed it up - they were certainly friendly enough. Cant really take off stars if you don't give them a chance to fix it up.....but I have anyway. Coffee was OK. Keeno had an avocado toast brekky and she loved it, I wound up eating GBH's bacon toast (so much for my healthy intentions) and it was great. Menu looked good. We only went for brekky. Claims are made that there is Mexican food at dinner. Give it a go - we have only checked out its late brekky form.

I haven't dined at the restaurant as it's always busy but it looks like a relaxed, upscale affair that could be the perfect venue for a celebration lunch or wedding. The Kiosk is much more casual and has some seating outside with shade. It's near the park, so little people can wander around on the grass there. We bought a surprisingly good fish and chips from here, though ordering and pick-up was a little chaotic. The Kiosk serves Campos coffee, which is a really hard blend to mess up and thankfully they didn't though it did take a while to make. Opening Hours Kiosk: Tuesday - Sunday, 8am till late afternoon. Restaurant: lunch, Tuesday - Sunday/dinner, Wednesday - Saturday Breakfast: Saturday and Sunday from 8.30am Closed Mondays

The reviews on here had me worried. But when I was presented with only 2 eateries to choose from at…read morethe beach. This is the one I chose based on the friendly welcoming face at the door. The hostess showed me the menu and allowed us to pick our own table. We chose the ham sandwich as well as the toast and jam with a little bit of vegemite to try. Ordering is done at the counter where you are given a number and your food is brought out to you. Again, the young lady behind the counter was friendly and hospitable as well as the barista who had a great sense of humor. The sandwich was good, toasted, with avocado, cheese and a fresh green salad. The vegemite I believe is an acquired taste oh and we did have a chocolate shake which tasted good as well. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is visiting the area. As the workers are friendly, hospitable and welcoming.

I could not bring myself to eat it all and felt really guilty throwing perfectly good food out. The menu board changes regularly and you order inside and take a number before you sit down at one of the tables inside or out. The view over Pittwater is spectacular. The menu has fish, burgers, salads and some starters. The prices are at the higher end and it seems they compensate for this by serving huge portions. My fish and chips was quite ok albeit a bit greasy. I would come here again for a drink and perhaps order a meal to share between two. I have never been a fan of wasting perfectly good food and I think the cafe should advise people that some of the meals could be shared.
