This was to be a special day - it was our anniversary but we were seated towards the rear of the restaurant with muted views of the beach. The location is excellent but without the fullon view, the rest is ordinary. The service is ordinary but perhaps that can be attributed to the timing - between Christmas and New Year.... More

We were dining only! It was our first anniversary and my wife was dying to try Jonah's, so she booked 7 weeks prior and requested a window table for lunch. She was informed that it may not be possible.. no biggy we'll go anyway. After weeks of horrible weather, we got the best day possible so now we were really... More

The reviewer acknowledges that the starters were amazing, the mains were sublime, the waitress and Sommelier were excellent, spacing between courses was spot on and that the overall meal was perfect. I am genuinely sorry that the Manly Taxi service were not able to provide a faster response time for the client above. Unfortunately there was a time delay for... More

We attended a family wedding reception at Jonah's Whale Beach. The setting and view are world class, the service is exceptional, the food is high quality and the attention to detail is meticulous. This is a brilliant restaurant. More

Great place for a long leisurely lunch. Or dinner (accommodation available on site for a special evening) We shared a Chateaubriand with all the trimmings. Cooked to perfection, the meat melted in the mouth. Decadent Bearnaise sauce excellent. Took a stroll in the beautiful garedns before sharing a magnificent dessert. Simply beautiful. More
