I visited Whitewater a while ago and it was spectacular. This weeks visit was disappointing. Service was good, and the atmosphere was still a calm yet chic place to visit but the food just didn't hold up. The light lunch menu is well priced for Manly however the Fish of the Day Tartar lacked any real zing and needed basic... More

For entrée I ordered Tempura Soft Shell Crab: with shaved coconut, red pepper and coriander & for the main I had the fab platter of Sashimi which was delicious &... More

A great looking restaurant with an impressive looking menu, however our $49.00 "Wyagu" beef steak tasted and looked like a Coles Supermarket sirloin and overcooked. The "seared tuna steak" was also left on the grill far too long. The sashimi platter was beautiful and of really great quality. The staff were friendly and working far too hard, the restaurant was...

This place adds a little bit of food glam to manly. The food is creative and well presented and the menu is thoughtful and takes you on a journey. I have enjoyed the meal very much both times I have eaten there. The setting is lovely right on the water and the deco well done. Only comment is that the... More

We visited this restaurant for a family 50th birthday dinner and found both their food and service to exemplary. I have a lot of food allergies which they double checked what selections were available for me from their menu and rechecked with the chef once I had placed my order. Their drinks waiter was very knowledgable about the wines they... More

We last travelled to Sydney in 2008, visited Manly then and found Whitewater. We were looking forward to our return lunch to Whitewater this year. We were happy with our decision. As we knew Manly, we decided to walk to Whitewater different way once off the ferry. We highly recommend the following if you fancy a fabulous hour walk before... More
