First & foremost this place was one of 3 places not on Yelp ... i couldn't beleive it!! The…read moreexpensive hardware store or the vet next door was in Yelp before this place hahah obviously peoples mind set isn't in the right place lol This steak house is tucked away in an almost one way back street of Mortdale :)! Its close to the pub which only locals stick too & is also really close to the well known Mortdale Bike shed. People probably not aware of this place cause its only open from 12pm on fridays & Saturdays and every other day is open fron 5pm. As soon as you walk into the restaurant you notice all the old school Fire station memorabilia hung up all over the walls :)!! So the the name Fire house Grill is the perfect name for this place :). Was here at the restaurant for a mother's day dinner with the family to beat the hustle & bustle rush of the real mothers day tomorrow :)!! We ordered a mixed entrée with, ribs off the bone, tasty pork belly with a creamy slaw topping, king prawns with a crumbed cheese coating, haloumi cheese, salad with 2 dipping sauces (garlic & tzatziki). For dinner majority had fillet mignone with chips salad and dipping sauce of your choice, i had a oven roasted duck with a tasty salad and mum had the braised beef cheek which tasted a bit over cooked and dry byt all the other maibs were very nice :)!! For dessert 2 people had the mango creme Bruleé which was outstanding, my sister had a perfection sticky date pudding which is never served big enough to satisfy your needs lol & i had a freesh fruit & Cheese platter with a peppermint tea.. the perfect tasty end to a nice dinner night out with the family :)!! Really enjoyed dining at this place.. been here about 4 times now and would recommend it to anyone i know .. and must mention again that while waiting for your food to come out and if you weren't conversing it was really nice to stare around the restaurant & study all the fire house memorabilia they had to offer :)

I came here for my customary post marathon steak when I was in town to run the Sydney Marathon…read more They did not open until 12 pm for lunch. I was seated outside with a nice view of Manly Beach and the ocean. After looking over their menu, I ordered the 200g Gippsland Eye Fillet steak cooked medium rare with chargrilled broccolini and added 3 chili garlic prawns. The steak was well prepared as were the prawns and vegetables. The food and service was excellent, but this was the only location during my trip where I was asked for gratuity which I've read was not customary in Australia. I guess that's what happens when you go to a touristy spot.

Good value lunch specials!…read more The Mister and I stopped by on our day trip to Manly - they were advertising some nice lunch specials. The interior is clubby and comfortable but we opted to enjoy the views from the terrace. I had a very tasty (and large) burger and the Nister had fish and chips. We both really liked our food and the prices were fair. Even better - house wine for $5. Nice place, friendly service - stop at lunch for a good deal!

The waitress carefully wrote down my (many) restrictions and spoke to the chef to alter one of the dishes so that I could enjoy it.

Great option in the basement of 1 Martin Place, which is connected to the Westin. The food was…read moredelicious and the service was excellent. We just came from the Blue Mountains and were super casual and grimy from the rain, but no one cared how disheveled we looked, and in fact, gave us wonderful service all around. We both had steaks that were excellent, but I will note that, in general, Australia (and New Zealand) cook their steaks more done then in the US, so order how you like your steak accordingly. The steaks had great taste (we chose the prime and dry age vs the wagyu) and the sides were great. Potato purée was buttery and creamy and the broccoli I was well seasoned and perfectly al dente. Again, the service was great. Sophie was incredible. Highly recommended!

Note: Their version of "Prime" might not be what you're used to. As for me, I was expecting USDA…read morePrime...but that's not the case here. I guess "Prime" is just their name. With that said, the steak was decent, but overall service was great. Nice decor, great ambiance. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and gave a great recommendation for a tripel style Australian beer too, and it was awesome. Finished the night with a souffle and ice cream. Very nice.

Fire and Ice Manly is one of those restaurants where you could absolutely sit there all afternoon,…read moreand well into the evening for many reasons. 1) The food is amazing 2) The staff are delightful 3) The view is incredible We went on an early evening one Saturday night are were greeted with quite possibly the nicest staff you'll ever meet. Sharon and David, the owners have been in the restaurant industry since their teens and have owned and run a few steakhouses in their time. They previously owned Ribs and Burgers for 18 years. They have since opened Fire and Ice, an ocean front restaurant in Manly with a concept serving raw meats, smoked meats, grilled meats and plenty of seafood. David knows his stuff, and certainly knows his meats. We took his advice and went for a 400g dry aged steak, served with fries and salad. The steak was incredible and cooked to our request. Having just returned from Argentina, we feel that we do know our steaks. We would certainly recommend a visit here for their meat. Top this off with a glass of red and you're set. We couldn't go past seafood on this visit, given we were at a beachside location. We ordered tuna tataki, so fresh and accompanied by a wasabi aioli and soy. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and the kingfish was so fresh and beautifully presented on a salt slab, marinated with lemon and lime, olive oil, chilli, capsicum, coriander and chives. The seafood here is quality and certainly a must and there's even a seafood platter that would be a great option for sharing. The menu is one of the biggest you'll find, not only in size, but the amount of menu options. Oysters to small bites, both hot and cold including a few dishes reflective of the owners' South African heritage. There are plenty of pastas, burgers, ribs and side salads to select from. There's also vegetarian options for those that prefer this. Steak though, is their specialty, as you enter you can see their aged locker of the beef options, and you can have fillet or sirloin on the bone, rib eye or a T-bone. You can read about the suppliers of this quality steak in the back of their menu. Sharon is possibly one of the best front of house managers we've met. She is so kind and welcoming and we really appreciated her hospitality. You can tell her experienced with the first greeting. There are some large and private areas too, so you could certainly hire this out for a party.

She remained friendly, bubbly and more than helpful. Offering us a smaller table thinking they had cancelled. Probably didn't want to waste the large table but we also did look a bit lonely sitting their nearly empty. Again staff in general were polite in moving us on as the last table and having gone beyond their closing time of 9:30pm. Also having to tell one of our guests that the kitchen had closed (they wanted dessert), whilst I lowered my head in annoyance at the request. I don't know if they always split bills but after a membership card was presented for the 10% discount they proceeded to take more of their time to accomodate this. Now to the food. Arriving to check in our reservation, we were passed by 2 enormous trays of food that I later found out were sharing platters. One ordered at our own table consisting of rib eye steak, ribs and sides. Bring your hunger game! A semi seafood platter also available. My partner and I ordered the 10oz rib eye (medium as standard) with saloon sauce for him and chipotle bernaise for me. The steak looked.... different. Putting it down to the slow cooked process? Tasted amazing regardless. But be warned, the steaks appear to be coated or dry rubbed with chilli flakes. I didn't mind it at all but my partner said his mouth was on fire. I tried his and disagreed strongly. Maybe his threshold was low that night. The side of chips were well seasoned and it was nice to have veggies included over salad. If I had to be negative I'd say the Texas toast could have been done better. Dry due to the thickness and needed more garlic flavour. Already have them in mind for a return trip for my birthday.

You can choose to watch the show only or have dinner and show.

It makes for a fastastic memory your experience at Pau Brazil will definitely leave an impression on you.It's great for groups, functions, special occasions and any event that you want to have remembered and make an impact.

I love it when cafes do a twist on some favourites. Not just banana bread but banana chia and walnut with a side of rhubarb compote. Not just scones but scones incorporating pieces of poached pear.
