I loved the setting of Blue Water - overlooking Manly beach at sunset. We shared the fresh oysters and crispy squid to start - for mains I had the grilled barramundi and salad - delicious !! The service was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Cherylee Stokes - dined at Bluewater Cafe on 10 February 2019
Happy friendly staff, million dollar location and everything comes quick and fresh out of an obviously well-equipped kitchen in plain view at the back. Only mild criticisms are that it's an upscale restaurant with a rather ordinary menu which includes hamburgers. My caesar salad with smoked salmon was delicious but a bit pricey at $33 but other than price and limited menu Bluewater is a great experience.
Bruce ALEXANDER - dined at Bluewater Cafe on 8 February 2019
An easy & pleasurable dining experience. Now they’ve changed the menu back to offering more than pizza, pasta & burgers, will be happy to go there time & time again.
Chris Grenvold - dined at Bluewater Cafe on 1 February 2019
Pasta was amazing! Love the service when the waitress tried to find me a hair band so that i could enjoy the meal in a windy day by the beach ..lol

Renae Warne - dined at Bluewater Cafe on 18 January 2019
Great food but initial service was a bit slow. Very basic tables and seating but food was great although a bit pricey.
Judy Hellmers - dined at Bluewater Cafe on 19 January 2019
Wonderful experience with our 1st First Table booking.
The menu was not edited to accommodate the discount and the food was beautiful. The staff were very friendly and the service was quick. The restaurant overlooks Manly beach, so we had a lovely setting also.
Would HIGHLY recommend the Seafood Platter, which would easily feed 3 to 4 people ... very fresh and beautifully cooked.
Will definitely return in the future.

Samantha Kalmar - dined at Bluewater Cafe on 15 December 2018
The prawn pizza was absolutely amazing! We also got the seafood marinara but there was barely any seafood in it so it was basically just pasta. The service wasn't great there was little to no communication and we were asked what we would like literally 2 minutes after sitting down. The pizza was awesome though :)

Absolutely fine. Just got caught out with the change in the menu.
Now only offering pizza, pasta & burgers. Nothing to complain about with what we had served. Service no problem either. Didn’t think to check menu as dined there previously.

Perfect for family early dinner
Sherry-Ann Burke - dined at Bluewater Cafe on 7 September 2018
The food was good, pasta was a little bit dry but very taste. Falafel burger were amazing! The staff were amazing and very friendly. It was very quick too. I would came back to try other dishes.
Lili Azevedo - dined at Bluewater Cafe on 9 September 2018
Locals in the area. Thought we’d give it ‘another’ try...
Whole experience very poor.
Kids pencils all broken.
Pizza and burgers v poor.
Give it a miss.
Darren Crichton-Browne - dined at Bluewater Cafe on 1 September 2018
We went on a cold miserable night. I think it would be a lovely cafe to go to for breakfast or lunch. It is opposite the beach and is very reasonably priced and has various food options, to please all of the family. The staff are very friendly.
