The Garfish Team
Mark Scanlan and Mark Dickey established Garfish restaurants in September 2002, with the opening of the Kirribilli Restaurant. Garfish Crows Nest followed in January 2004, and Garfish Manly opened in October 2006.
Having a long standing history with the food industry in Sydney, they have been working together since 1989 and have owned some well known Sydney restaurants over this time.
They established the popular Milsons Restaurant in Kirribilli, and revamped the romantic Jaspers Restaurant in Hunters Hill after selling Cafe Stivelle.
Garfish Restaurants kitchens are managed by Executive Chef, Stewart Wallace. Stewart joined the team in August 2004 from Cafe Sydney.
Garfish Crows Nest and Garfish Kirribilli are both overseen by Area Manager Carole Dunn, who is well known for her long history of managing Milsons, and who was promoted from the Restaurant Managers position at Garfish Crows Nest to assume responsibility for Garfish Kirribilli as well. Robert Lee is Restaurant Manager of Crows Nest, alongside Head chef, Tim Wesley.
Garfish Kirribilli is managed by Kunal Verma, who is a professional Front Of House manager who has made Hospitality his career. He works alongside Head chef, Chris Lowe.
Garfish Manly has recently welcomed Restaurant Manager, Matt Seaton to the team. The kitchen at Manly is managed by long-standing Head chef, Michael Nash.
No matter which restaurant you choose to dine in, whether it be Kirribilli, Crows Nest or Manly, you can be assured that you will receive the same fantastic product, and professional friendly service. You will notice familiar faces, as the staff remain at our restaurants year after year. One thing is for sure. There is a great team atmosphere in these restaurants, and the staff really enjoy their jobs! They keep coming back to us too!

Garfish Manly are currently looking to expand their management team, and are hoping to find a new Restaurant Assistant Manager, and Bar Manager.
