Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

AMAZING LAMB dinner!!!! Mac crusted lamb rump, tzatziki sauce, feta salad, kumara. Excellently prepared, I licked the plate clean!!! Husband got the Eye Fillet with salad and mushroom sauce and chips- said it was amazing!

Visited early evening on a sunny Sunday. Dined outside and it was very pleasant. Ordered glass of wine and beer as we perused the menu. Lots of different options. Husband had the lamb rump, macadamia encrusted - cooked perfectly medium rare - he pronounced it his best meal of this 6-week trip. I ordered the gnocchi and it was very good also. Would return, but they're closed Mondays :(

We enjoyed excellent and original pizzas, great value wine and lovely service sitting outside this restaurant but the decor inside is very strange. This venue doesn’t seem to know if it wants to be a sports bar or a fairy-light bedecked romantic restaurant. We sat outside but the TVs would have been distracting.

Our meals where ok, but nothing like as good as when Tracy had this business
Our steaks were floating in our respective sauces that we had ordered. The chips were ok but they took up half the plate and there were far too many of them.
My entree was fried calamari which was fried at too low a temperature so that it all came out stuck together.
It was like a pub meal and not your local restaurant.
The woman who we paid had such a thick accent that I had trouble understanding her.
The whole place was empty by about 8pm whereas it used to be a lively bar seen until 10 or 11 pm, this was a Saturday night and it has lost its spark.

My Wife and I were over from Queensland and we went to Manly Bar and Grill for a catchup with our friends who live locally. I think we arrived just after the place opened because we had it to ourselves and chose to sit at a nice bar table near the entrance. The 4 of us were quite happy as the nice wine flowed and we enjoyed each others company and catching up after a long time apart. As the afternoon wore on more patrons arrived and the place started to get busier. In the early Evening to our surprise and most unfortunately, we were asked by the Female manager to move from the table we had oocupied for the entire afternoon to another less appealing table further inside. It appears that another larger group took priority over us and we felt treated like rif raf for want of a better description. We moved to the other table and were given a token gesture of thanks that included a squid bites dish, which was also unfortunate because 2 of us dont eat squid! During the evening we dined at a local Italian restaurant which was a far superior experience.

Hi BigMANTIS, Our apologies your experience with us wasn't as it should be. As I understand my FOH manager was trying to make it as comfortable as she could for all who were concerned. Sometimes like this we miss the mark.. Again our apologies and thanks to your feedback we'll be able to work on improving our customer service. Cheers

Ok, so Manley bar and gille has a reputation for steaks but try the seafood fettuccine, I have been to some of the top restaurants in the world French Laundry, Bullie and Fat Duck but I am humbled by the local chef who make the most exquisite seafood fettuccine I have ever tasted. I have eaten it and I am still running my tongue around my mouth. Its like being at the seaside. a place that's tucked away in Whangaparoe thats just frequentedby locals. Jay Traynor get your arse over here

When we travel, we seldom visit the same place more than once, because we like to try different food. But in the six days we spent in the region, we ate here 3 times. Each time we had exceptional meals- melt I your mouth steak, gnocchi to die for, creamy chicken in mushrooms, Thai fish cakes.... I understand why this is rated so high. It’s worth it... and prices are very affordable

Dropped in on spec for dinner. We managed to get a table and also to order a Gluten free meal and a Dairy free meal. There was limited choice for both but we were able to get something. A lively noisy place with plenty of atmosphere and good wine selection

One of our party had the Eye fillet steak medium. It was very dry and even though he had a steak knife it was very very tough.
My wife had gnocchi. It did not look like any gnocchi I have ever seen. It was tasty but not what one was expecting. I had whole snapper. It was reasonable. It did not knock you socks off but it was fine.
We have been before. This tome was not up to scratch. Not good enough.
Would I go back? Probably not!

Just awesome. The food and service were excellent. It was a busy Saturday night and we were looked after superbly. We shared the pork belly entree which was so good. My friend had the fettuccine and which was lovely. I had the lamb dish which was so good. Would not be able to go past that again. Highly recommend as the locals recommended to us. A place to definitely go to. Thank you management. It was superb. đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

Quite the busy place no matter the hour - seems to be the place locals and tourists gravitate to for dinner, or just a few drinks. The staff is quite friendly.
