Description

Perched above the river at Manning Point, this relaxed waterfront eatery offers generous seafood, pizzas and breakfasts on a sheltered deck with stunning views and frequent dolphin sightings. Friendly, quirky staff create a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that suits tourists and regulars alike. Expect casual, tasty meals but variable execution — some dishes feel frozen or unimaginative, and service can be slow. With potential for a more local-catch-focused menu, it remains a scenic spot worth visiting if you prioritise atmosphere and portions over speed and fine-dining consistency.

I visited Australia for the first time and was truly impressed. The people were incredibly kind and helpful, and the service was excellent. The food was fantastic, with generous portion sizes. Plus, the view was absolutely stunning.

The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed, and the location is breathtaking! The pizzas were absolutely delicious. We enjoyed it so much that we returned for pizza again, and then we came back for morning tea where we had the scones with jam and cream. The coffee was great as well. Thank you, Jim and Tracey!

I absolutely love this place! The staff is incredibly friendly, and the view is always amazing. The food is delicious and fairly priced. It's definitely a must-visit if you're in the area.

Over an hour's wait to be served very ordinary, unimaginative food. Couple near us waited 2 hours to be served food. People at next table not served at all so they left. Beautiful location, that's it. Never again.
