The restaurant in question seems to have mixed reviews, with some recent experiences ranging from terrible service and disappointing food to a wonderful dining experience with excellent views and ambiance. Some customers have had issues with bookings not being honored, lack of dessert options, and untrained staff. However, others have praised the delicious food, nice staff, and beautiful location right on the waterfront with stunning views. Overall, it appears that the restaurant's quality may vary depending on the day and time of visit, making it a bit of a mixed bag for potential diners.

Situated halfway between (south) Manly and Shelly Beach the Bower Restaurant is a nice modern restaurant/cafe that serves amazing coffee and great food.

We stumbled upon this Idyllic quaint bistro cafe right smack on the waterfront of Cabbage Tree Aquatic reserve as we strolled from Manly beach to Shelly beach along the waterside walkway. We stopped for lunch and a quick refreshments. The food was great and the sea view is spectacular sun bathers paradise around the tidal rock pool. Easy access but popular location, However we were lucky to get a seat outside on a warm day the sea breeze so refreshing. Bring yr swimming gear, Highly recommended!

The view is unbeatable, my burger was great, my son’s fish chips could have been better if it wasn’t over cooked. 2 out of 3 staffs were friendly.
