Not great value with small portions of generally decent food. There was a hair in the food as well, although I don't generally sweat it. Nice enough cocktails.

I have been here a couple of times for a drink or two. Its a lovely set up and atmosphere and a great place for drinks. I have only had bar food and not eaten at the restaurant upstairs. Really liked their hot dog, not so impressed with the slider burgers and its pricey for what you get. They have a small wine list but I haven't had a bad one yet.

Experience of service has varied, the first time it was great and the bar man gave us his opinions on the wines. The second time it took forever for our drinks to arrive, I guess every place has their bad day? It is a good place for a drink and I would recommend it and I may yet still venture there for dinner one night.

Loved this place. Very different. Attracts the young crowd in but is equally enjoyable for the oldies (over 23s...). service is always great here, new staff quite often but always consistently good.

The wine list is just ok, could do with a few more Pinot Noir choices. The food is very different, I think they may have a new chef because a few things have changed since the opening. The best change to happen is the use of cardboard over polystyrene for the nuggets, what were they thinking bringing that stuff to Manly beach front?!

The mini burgers (Sliders) are awesome. I think the menu is all based around American fast food items. Yum.

Cleverly quirky in style with food to match but have not lost sight of the need for quality cooking. Went for dinner. Casual seating style and no bookings, so squeezing into a space can be challenging. Corn entree is an experience! Also had some vegetarian mains and pork belly. Great location, and the price reflects that, so not cheap. But an ejoyable experience and worth taking friends to.

I love this place! first visited last week, just popped in on a walk around Manly, these guys are doing something so different and so quirky it's a fabulous experience. Books abound, but it's the nostalgia menu, with a lovely big adult twist that makes it so special. I had a white bread and butter sandwich with strong cheddar, pickled onions and salt and vinegar chips.

It came out as two doorstops of luscious white buttered bread, with enough food for two of us and heaps of chippies on the side, $10. With a glass of Chandon to wash it down, it was a superb way to spend a rainy lunch time looking out over the wild surf on Manly Beach.

Well done guys, I will be back to try your inventive drinks, starting with the Tequila and Passiona cocktail. Also love your music choices, nice and cruisy.
