The service was delightful, friendly and quick. Our food was delicious. No complaints from any of the party. Overall I would absolutely recommend At the Heads.

This being our first time at Etsu, the staff was very helpful with guiding us through the menu and answering any and all of our questions. Drinks and food was all spot on and especially the wagyu carpaccio, man.. That’s something else! Ambiance is set to perfection - the lighting makes it intimate but the music keeps it energetic. Like is this a fancy restaurant or a nightclub? It doesn’t even matter! Well done guys! Will definitely recommend and return!

As a newly arrived Queenslander this was our first visit to Manly Boathouse Restaurant and were surprised to find car parking spaces available. And the restaurant didn't disappoint. Every staff member was friendly, polite and attentive. We were given the best table in the room and as we had booked early for dinner were able to take advantage of the vista. Although the restaurant was very busy and full our service was swift and our food and drink orders arrived promptly. Between us we had fresh oysters, Morton Bay bug slider, popcorn chicken, garlic sourdough, scallop risotto, barramundi and the fish of the day-snapper in a Thai green curry sauce. All were well presented and tasty. We had a lovely, friendly evening in a welcoming restaurant and will now become regular visitors.
