Jonah's is a very special Sydney restaurant as it has excellent food and enjoys a spectacular view from its high vantage point overlooking the Pacific Ocean.The food is excellent and the massive wine list more so.Enjoy the food and discuss your choice of wine wih the extremely knowledgeble sommelier.

Special thanks to the hotel manger Mohan accomodating us without a booking while the place was jam packed.We were offered the out door terrace for pre lunch drinks followed by a nice table for our lunch. Seafood platter was the highlight of the day and... More

We have been there several times over the years, in different combinations, and the food has always been good and the wine list excellent. But the view! Try to spend a bit of time out on the terrace and see if you can see a sea eagle. There is a pair that goes past there. Not cheap, but for a... More

This is a bit of a drive out of Sydney but worth it. On a good day you can watch the hang gliders jumping of the cliff and flying past the window. It is in a perfect situation with magnificent views over the ocean. Even if the food was mediocre (which it isn't) it is worth the trip just for... More

The venue is welcoming and all class, the friendly staff are attentive without hovering and the food is a joy to both the eye and the pallet. Thankyou for a lovely family lunch and a treasured memory.

I booked the seaplane trip with lunch at Johan's and I was appalled by the service we received. When we stepped off the plane, a girl was to greet us and take us to the restaurant. She walked 3 metres ahead of us and was very rude. The setting is beautiful but completely ruined by the poor customer service/experience. When... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We hold a very close relationship with Sydney Seaplanes and in turn welcome many happy guests who arrive to Jonah's through this popular avenue. Therefore it was disappointing to learn that you were not entirely satisfied with Sydney Seaplanes nor Jonah's. My apologies your experience was not up to standard. I am the... More

At the time we made our initial booking we were told that a function was being held at the restaurant on that day and that they were obliged to let us know, and that the terrace would not be available to other guests, so we decided to make our booking for another date, which we were told was free from...

I have dined at Jonah's several times and the experience has always been perfect - fabulous food, impeccable service, wonderful staff and the lovely ambience of Jonah's. What more could you ask? Not cheap but great for a special occasion.

In the more affluent part of the Northern Beaches with a very steep slope to get down to the beach. Go at lunch time and then you will reap the benefit of the view. Could be on the expensive side. It also has accommodation.
