A delightful anniversary experience. We have dined once at the Bathers Bistro, but this was a first meal at the restaurant. The food was excellent, though not overly generous. Waiting staff were friendly and attentive without being pushy. It is lovely to sit and eat while watching the sunset colours over Balmoral Beach, Middle Harbour and North Head, and then after dark the floodlit beach out the front.

The salads were delicious, the prosecco cold and fresh, and the scones, jam and cream divine. The staff are friendly and really accommodating and we love the ambience. The place is a gem in the middle of Manly Vale and we go there regularly!
