Manly Greenhouse Grill

The most formal area of this newer establishment. In fact all three levels offer an excellent experience. Level 1 provided a very relaxed and inviting couple of hours. More of a ‘special occasion’ meal compared to downstairs. Service was more than attentive. Food delicious. View superb.

Absolutely brilliant service and food. The setting, the decor, and the view were beautiful. Very romantic! Pricey, but well worth it!!!

Beautiful day with fantastic view for a Sunday lunch with the family. Food was exceptional, will definitely be back as there are more dishes on the menu that need to be tried. Overall a great overall experience.

Lovely location, with great view and good food. We had crab, steak and lobster which tasted good. If we didn't have the fifty percent off I think it is too pricey.

great food great service with great views over the beachfront for a special occasion but be prepared to pay plenty for the privilege of dining there if you dont have a first table

Fabulous location, beautiful decor, impeccable service, incredible food.. nothing to fault on this perfect dining experience. I’ll be back again & again

Manly Greenhouse Grill makes for a refreshing surprise. Why? Because, notwithstanding the plethora of eating venues on Sydney's northern beaches, a comprehensively decent dining experience can be very hard to find. Mediocrity and inconsistency abounds, as does a cavalier, uncaring, dispassionate approach to food & service. Not so, at MGG.

First off, the restaurant has location, location, location: literally, across the road from iconic Manly ocean beach. Secondly, MGG has casual class: a relaxed ambience and, in the grill, a cosy, easy luxury, with leather, exquisitely-crafted Scandi chairs and warm, low lighting. It's discreet, understated, comfortable (even if the banquettes could use higher-density foam and a bit more height, relative to tables) and sophisticated, in the most contemporary way; even if it has something of an old-school, throwback, classical charisma. It's its own thing: distinctive, original and unfashionable; which is to say, it's not stressed & dingy, like the belly of a pirate ship, or post-industrial, or an emulation of a third-world vibe.

We were served by the sommelier, who deserves plaudits for his intriguing winelist, featuring a few tried-and-true classics, a few foreign exotics and a longish list of boutique Australian producers. The Hope Estate (Hunter) house brew is a delightful way to start; gently sweet, fragrant, easy-drinking; sophisticated, but utterly unpretentious and, again, distinctly, thankfully, off-trend. Our wine selection was a bottle of Clare Valley Vine Mind Riesling; beautifully-perfumed, delicate, refined, with an optimal balance of sweet and sour, measured acidity and the kind of flexibility that can see you from entree to dessert, if you choose judiciously.

As we did: a shared entree of tender, charred octopus, resplendent with colour, thanks to romescu and a festoon of baby flowers. Flavours were resplendent, too: bold, but not overstated; seasoned, but by no means oversalted. Main was shared, too: whole (if headless) Dory, again simply charred, slightly dry, but pristine white, accompanied by sides of chilli asparagus (again, assertively flavoured-up) and superb charred corn kernels, in an unctuous, velvety bechamel.

Satiating, in every dimension.

But not so satiating that, on the strength of the first two courses and the seductive ambience, we couldn’t contemplate dessert. in truth, we did more than contemplate, ordering-up an almond souffle, again to share, tabled with a hint of ceremony, as the waiter gently pierced the sighing, fluffy, gossamer-encrusted egginess, to pour in a creamy nectar.

A Barrel One short black had good creme, was reasonably hot and quite strong, if too sour.

Any faults were so minor as to be ostensibly unworthy of mention. Manly Greenhouse Grill is a very good restaurant.

Great place for a quiet dinner with friends with fabulous service and good food.

Amazing food and wine, nice service too. We had a lovely family lunch, thank you

Wow view is amazing that is a given but the food and service were even better. The best restaurant around- 5 Stars all round, we will be back and tell all our friends

Great food and service. Probably one of best restaurants in manly.

Great lunch . Food was excellent, generous and the sides were awesome. View great . Vibe great.

Wow, wow, wow! We’ve been eagerly waiting to eat at the Grill and were not disappointed! The venue was absolutely beautiful, the service was friendly and attentive and the food was so fresh and deliciously tasty! Attention to detail during our whole dining experience was exceptional. We will definitely be coming back- one of the best restaurants in the Northern Beaches! Thanks Manly Grill

Amazing experience beautiful views

From the moment we got there we had an excellent table with the picture perfect view - service was very good and the food was tasty and beautifully presented - so enjoyed our first visit to the Greenhouse Grill and will definitely be back - many thanks

The restaurant was lovely and service was amazing. We though the food was really good, we got the ribeye and the discount helped the price to feel more suited to the food quality. However the potatoes, brussell sprouts and prawn entree were very tasty. Thanks for a lovely evening.

A wonderful dining experience. Great to have wild fish and grass fed meat on the menu. The decor is conducive to discussion and is romantic. It was dark so we didn’t see the view but it would be fabulous in daylight. I hope Manly will support this venue and keep it alive as it is very special and very professional. The service is the best I’ve had in Manly and the food is a high standard. Every one loved their choices of fish and steak and sides.

Dining room is spacious and has great atmosphere including beautiful beach views
Making dinner conversations such a pleasure as opposed to a lot of crammed and noisy restaurant
A real winner with the food too
