Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as bar & grill, cocktail bar, event venue, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

For a place to eat or drink, the questions that matter most are simple: is it open now, is it busy at peak hours, and does the menu suit the group you are bringing. Australian cafes tend to open early and close mid-afternoon, while restaurants and pubs run lunch and dinner services with a quiet spell in between, so an off-peak visit is worth a quick call. Card and tap-to-pay are accepted almost everywhere; some venues add a surcharge on weekends and public holidays.

Opening hours are published for 2 days a week. On most of those days it is open 12–9 pm. Hours in Australia do change around public holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (02) 9977 0707. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a mobile. Its website is garfish.com.au, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.5 out of 5 on Google across 1,349 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded seafood restaurants in Manly.

Manly is in New South Wales, on Australia's east coast, where summers are warm and humid, winters are mild and businesses keep to standard hours year-round with the usual public-holiday changes. Australian addresses list the street number, suburb, state abbreviation and postcode, and Manly follows the same pattern; a number like 2/411 means unit 2 at number 411.

Garfish is by far my favourite spots in Manly. The location is perfect, just a couple of minutes' walk from the ferry wharf, super convenient. Their seafood was very fresh and cooked perfectly. You could really tell the quality of the ingredients based on the flavour. We also ended up ordering way more cocktails than we planned because they were just that good! Their staff were amazing too. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and they took the time to walk us through the menu and recommend their favourites, which made the whole experience even better. Absolutely loved this place and I'll definitely be back. Already recommending it to all my friends!

Had an amazing time celebrating my birthday at Garfish. All of the food is amazing, beautiful flavours and the highlight was definitely the tacos and scallops with black pudding. The Garfish martini as well as all of the other drinks were amazing. All staff were super friendly and helpful and really looked after us! Will be returning for sure .

Absolutely loved our experience at Garfish Manly! Despite being a last-minute booking, the team went above and beyond. We were given the perfect corner area overlooking the beachfront, which felt like our own little private function space… such a beautiful setup for a special occasion. The food was amazing, the service was outstanding, and every staff member was warm and welcoming. We regularly host work functions, and after this experience, we would definitely recommend Garfish as a fantastic venue for functions and celebrations. Thank you for making our evening so memorable. We had the best time and will definitely be back !🥰💗😋

Exceptional food. Mashed potato with the dory was amazing. The service was very good and friendly too, however, the manager lady was extremely rude and blunt. My fellow diner was quite upset by the interaction.

Really great food and in particular great service that night for a group of 6 people under reservation Lizzie. Love the salmon sashimi, grill seafood, fish and chips, sri lankan curry and especially fried calamari. Sorry I can't remember your young waitress's name but she was so patient and considerate in explaining the seafood platter, checking in on our preferences. She was very kind to my friends who are foreigners from Taiwan, who do not speak English well. I really do appreciate her service.
