I had the steak with softshell crab, prawn served with butter sauce, it was really good. The softshell crab was especially tender. Other mains were oven baked flounder on a bed of shallot... More

Arthur is the proprieter of several restraurants in Sydney including the Blu water Grill at Hornsby, they are all great places to eat but Jellyfish is the best. It's a short walk away form the main strip at Manly on the ocean side, but really worth it. More

I do not often feel complelled to write any sort of review but I thought this restaurant was fantastic. My family and I were visiting my sister in Manly and it was the last day of our visit as well as being my birthday. The service was great and the food out of this world. It was the perfect end...

Great spot for coffee if you are wanting that "near the beach" experience whilst having brunch or meeting friends for coffee. More

My husband and I took the ferry from Sydney just to dine at this restaurant based on our friend's recommendations. We hate writing this review because our friends were regulars and absolutely loved this restaurant. Perhaps our expectations were too high and the restaurant was having an off day. Regardless, our recollection of the meal was that it was too... More

We loved eating at Jellyfish. It's a great location, just across the road from the beach! It really got our holiday off to a flying start. Highly recommended! A must, if you're in Manly. More

First off, ate at Jellyfish yesterday and have to say the location is fantastic. The food overall was good especially the Mud Crabs and the Mulloway.

An Unfortunate Tail On arriving to Jellyfish, it has a certain charm and atmosphere which is quite refreshing from the rest of Manly.
