   I ordered a big breakfast & hubby got the eggs Bennie! They were substantial meals. I took 1/2 mine for arvo tea & that was not a problem. Service was great too. The view was fantastic as we had a table for 2 that look out at the surf.

   Food was disappointing, bar flies constantly over meals and the red wine by the glass may have gone off. Restaurant feels dated and due for a makeover.

   Loved our dining experience here. Unbeatable location on the waterfront, delicious food, and attentive service. We’ll be back.

   Excellent experience as always, a must when visiting Sydney. Missed the Rock Oysters, Barramundi and garlic bread though.. staples of the menu for many years 😊

   Food was amazing, but service was underwhelming - mate us feel very unwelcome during our stay

    Very tasty food, but not enough on the plate and very over-priced. Drinks were also prohibitively expensive - my wife had an iced cocktail, which contained a lot of ice and very little cocktail. I had a glass of white wine, the volume was lower than the standard amount. Staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Meals and drinks were served relatively quickly, but effciency of service occasionally lapsed. For instance, after my wife ordered her cocktail, the drinks waitress raced off before I had a chance to give her my drinks order. I had to call her back to the table to place my order. The ambience was fabulous, a table by the window, overlooking the beach, was a great way to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We have been to The Pantry Manly several times over the years and have been very impressed with the service and menu, which is why we chose to celebrate our anniversary there. We left there yesterday feeling disappointed and still hungry after our tiny and over-priced 3-course lunch, and went elsewhere for a supplementary snack. We can only guess that The Pantry has had a change of ownership or at least a radical change in management since we were last there.
