celebrate your birthday by the water
Birthdays deserve a setting that feels special, and Garfish Manly delivers it every time. With sparkling water views, relaxed coastal dining and the freshest seafood on the Northern Beaches, we’ve become a favourite for birthday lunches, long dinners and group celebrations by the wharf.
