Garfish is by far my favourite spots in Manly. The location is perfect, just a couple of minutes' walk from the ferry wharf, super convenient. Their seafood was very fresh and cooked perfectly. You could really tell the quality of the ingredients based on the flavour. We also ended up ordering way more cocktails than we planned because they were just that good! Their staff were amazing too. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and they took the time to walk us through the menu and recommend their favourites, which made the whole experience even better. Absolutely loved this place and I'll definitely be back. Already recommending it to all my friends!
Had an amazing time celebrating my birthday at Garfish. All of the food is amazing, beautiful flavours and the highlight was definitely the tacos and scallops with black pudding. The Garfish martini as well as all of the other drinks were amazing. All staff were super friendly and helpful and really looked after us! Will be returning for sure .
Absolutely loved our experience at Garfish Manly! Despite being a last-minute booking, the team went above and beyond. We were given the perfect corner area overlooking the beachfront, which felt like our own little private function space… such a beautiful setup for a special occasion. The food was amazing, the service was outstanding, and every staff member was warm and welcoming. We regularly host work functions, and after this experience, we would definitely recommend Garfish as a fantastic venue for functions and celebrations. Thank you for making our evening so memorable. We had the best time and will definitely be back !🥰💗😋
Exceptional food. Mashed potato with the dory was amazing. The service was very good and friendly too, however, the manager lady was extremely rude and blunt. My fellow diner was quite upset by the interaction.
Really great food and in particular great service that night for a group of 6 people under reservation Lizzie. Love the salmon sashimi, grill seafood, fish and chips, sri lankan curry and especially fried calamari. Sorry I can't remember your young waitress's name but she was so patient and considerate in explaining the seafood platter, checking in on our preferences. She was very kind to my friends who are foreigners from Taiwan, who do not speak English well. I really do appreciate her service.
