    Disappointed with the steak advertised as a fillet but was a sirloin and a little fatty for me. The rest in the party were delighted with their choices. Overall a great night nevertheless

    We ordered the Kangaroo Skewers, Yellowfin Tuna and a Tomahawk steak, along with broccolini and pumpkin as sides to share. Every dish was excellent. It exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend visiting for an incredible meal. We plan on going again.

    My fiancé (newly) dined here for an intimate celebration together. It was such a wonderful evening, very relaxed, beautiful environment, the food was absolutely incredible, we ordered the Byron Bay Burratta and Stone Baked Ciabatta for our entree, it was absolutely wonderful. For the mains we got the Roasted Pumpkin and the House made Ricotta Gnocchi, both were absolutely delicious, words cannot describe it. The drinks were amazing and the service was absolutely superb. I cannot recommend The Manor enough!! We’ll most definitely be dining again.

    The food was decent and the ambience was nice. Service was however under par, there was no one at the front when we were looking to order and basically waited 5 minutes but other than that the food came out quick after ordering and taste was good too.
