Me and two kids for lunch coming in at $81 for one kids, two adult mains and a dessert. The forest burger was ok but below the level I’d expect for good pub fare these days. The chicken schnitzel was excellent the right line between thick and thin. Kids meal was gobbled up. Ordered the sticky date pudding for dessert $13). Let down by this. It was the same size, shape and taste as the microwave Aunt Betty ones rather than a gorgeous tasty finish to the meal. Accompanied by spray whipped cream from a can and plain ice cream. Regardless of whether it was cooked on site or a simple rehearing of a $1 supermarket snack, it was close enough to leave me feeling ripped off. Overall, ambience was goo...
Upon arriving at the restaurant, we were disappointed to find no hostess to seat us, so we had to find a table ourselves. The food was very underwhelming. Two of us ordered the Sirloin steak with Diane sauce, but both the steak and sauce lacked flavor and the steak was mediocre. The Tartare sauce for the fish was unusually watery, indicating a need for better preparation. The Forest burger was surprisingly small, more suitable for a child than an adult. Sadly, as a family of nine, we will not be returning to this restaurant again. Our Mother's Day celebration was quite disappointing.
The restaurant is in a pleasant location, perfect for a family gathering on a sunny summer afternoon. However, the food was very disappointing. Each of the three steak options was tough and nobody was able to finish their meal. The salmon was overcooked and unappetizing. The only positive dish was the chili prawn spaghetti, which was spicy, enjoyable, and came with a generous portion of prawns. The staff were cheerful and had a good attitude. Overall, the experience was okay but the restaurant definitely needs to improve.
This place needs to be renovated. Every time it rains hard, the roof leaks like a sieve. Food is pretty average as well. The best I can say is that it's 'hit and miss'. Staff most defiantly give 'poker machine players' preferential treatment. Toilets smell and are not up to today's standards. The Parkway Hotel falls a long way behind other local hotels such as the Terrey Hills tavern, the Belrose, the Brookvale, and all other pubs in Manly. More of a local drinking hole.

A group of friends have dinner here on a weekly basis. Generally the food has been very good. Last night was an exception. Two of us had different pizzas and the toppings were so scant. The chicken one had a fingernail size piece of chicken on each slice and one slice had none....for $24! The meat pizza was similar and not a patch on previous weeks. We will give it the benefit of the doubt or....
First time back to this establishment in a long time. Nothing much has changed. Bar area is dark and uninviting. Menu is typical bar food served in good time.Had trouble ordering a drink as it seems that the one bar staff member had to look after a number of bars--at lunch time??Maybe it makes it's money with afternoon knockoff workers.Time for a revamp.
My husband and I often come here for a quick Friday lunch. Can order food from the table and arrives quickly. Chicken wings are delicious! Have also been with family, young children and friends and always have a great time.
The prices have gone up, including the shared bbq meat platter which is now $10 more expensive. They have also removed lamb shanks and the garlic, chilli chicken pizza from the menu. Overall, it was disappointing.

Terrible service, attitude and experience. Rude staff thinking they’re at a Merrivale venue rather than a thinly veiled rsl.
Overpricedfood quality is ok my only recommendation would be the Prawn salad with chips and aioli sauce.
