Very loud on a Sunday ... music was just too loud for my liking. I could only hear people right next to or opposite me. But, food and service was great.

Party of 8, we reserved a week ahead and received confirmation only to arrive and find our table hadn't been reserved. We were able to get a table thankfully. Ordered via table barcode. Our meals all came at different times with 2 of us missing our meals entirely. After waiting 40 minutes after everyone else and lots of confusion we finally received our meals when everyone else had long finished and were ready to leave. The kitchen staff had nod idea what was happening and several other diners were in similar position. Extremely disappointing. Wouldn't bother revisiting or recommending. Plenty of other nicer places .

The young girl, Catarina? Was a wonderful help - she patiently took us through the booking process and gave us great seats which is why we were able to have such a great evening

I thought we were booking lunch upstairs but when we arrived it was empty and we eventually found our table downstairs. We were a group of 12 and they sat us at bar tables joined together. It was ok but kind of an awkward spot. I wouldn't come back for lunch but it would be ok for a casual drink.

Food came out at 3 separate times event though was put in as one order. meant our lunch went way over time and some had to leave early. Wrong order advise as snapper however it turned out to be the pan fried fish on the day. No follow up from wait staff even after several requests why the delay. Its coming.... I'll check...never followed up. Steaks were overcooked and not what was requested. Seafood platter for 2 was very light on and certainly not worth $120. Steak sandwich was drowned in mayonnaise. Extremely poor food value.

It was 97 for a large pizza, steak with beans and the kingfish entree. Probably on par with most up market bistros. It was really busy so the staff did well. Waiting time was ok. Drinks were easy to get. It was loud with people as there had been a large sporting event on, the place was buzzing.

The place was very loud with DJ music so you couldn't hear to talk to anyone at the table. Food was very average for the over the top prices. Eye fillet steak was $56 and was overcooked as we ordered medium and arrived without the sauce that was ordered. Calamari we wanted to order a main meal with chips and salad, they told us we had to order 2 x entrees ($48 total) plus sides of salad ($12) and a bowl of chips ($10). Calamari was tough and not fresh which you kinda expected being in Manly where fresh seafood would be available. We were also charged on top of the already overpriced food 15% surcharge which gave a total of $144 for 2 people!!! We have never been so disappointed in the quality and price of food in a Pub ever. I think you Need to come to Newcastle where we can show you some amazing places to eat at half the price and has consistent quality food. We wont be back and judging by the reviews either will alot of other people.

Obviously understaffed - breakfast was disorganised and service disconnected, my breakfast came out nearly 10 minutes after others, coffees were even latter. Won’t be returning to Steyne for breakfast.

we were late for a table by 15 minutes and it went to another group however, the table that we were finally next to were more than 30 minutes late and they still got their table. We understand it was incredibly busy however besides the fries, all our other dishes were not hot

We ordered 5 meals 2 didn’t arrive. Followup up after 30 minutes they hadn’t ordered them. He staff member who took the order was not listening or seem o know what he was doing. The manager intervened order was taken paid for the meal they didn’t order everyone had eaten still waiting for 1 meal. Not busy not sure what as happening. All in all a disaster.

Food came out at different times - my Dad had finished his meal by the time mine came out. The music was too loud, we had to shout over each other. Service was a bit average, but it was Father's Day and busy.

We had a gathering of retired, Sydney based, naval reserve divers. We were there to catch up with one of our members who now lives in north Queensland. The Hotel Stayne Manly is a landmark hotel which many of us have visited in the past, with its historic decor, atmosphere and views of the ocean. The lunchtime bistro bar service was excellent, and the food was great!

While it is one of my favourite places, and totally understand that you can mess up bookings sometime. It is not okay to lie and try to blame the customer. Saying that no one was there to claim the table , and then finally admitting that it was not true and they did a mistake. Poor form!!

We arrived at 1 pm and a table wasn’t reserved for us even though we had pre booked, a helpful staff member (manager on the day I think) put two tables together for us. There was some work health and safety issues on the veranda ,where we were sitting, with big gaps on the floor tiles and tiles lying loose and being unstable when standing on them. Food was enjoyable.

The food was good and the bar staff were very friendly despite being very busy. The food was reasonable, but we should have been informed when ordering that some of the additions to the kids meal were unavailable.
