The place is lovely and the people are so warm and accommodating. We seated at the al fresco and had the best scenic view of the beach. It gives a calm, relaxed feeling while sipping my hot Mocha. When the food arrived, we were so amazed with the presentation.. it's so beautiful. And much more with the sumptuous taste of Jonah's seafood plate. Fantastic! It's simply one of the best. We will surely come back and recommend the place to our family and friends.

A three hat restaurant that just needs to be rated. Wow! Fine dining at its best. The menu is exquisit heroing local and overseas cuisines complimented by Australian wines. The staff are expertly trained giving detailed analysis and meaning to the dishes along with way wines can enhance the overall pleasure of the Jonah's experience. Weddings I hear are exceptional and need to be booked out years in advance.

We came to the restaurant before lunch and they said no availability and come back at 4:30pm, what we have noticed something...

Until we came back again at 4:20pm and they said the same thing and starred at us. They have some seats but they said no available. There is no reservation in this place and thats what they said. Were very disappointed because we drove from south sydney just to try their food.

I dont know if they discriminate us or they are racist.

Great restaurant with fantastic views over Whale beach! We were there for a wedding of our friends and no other place would be as awesome as this one. The atmosphere was amazing and food was great. We were absolutely happy with the service and would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Jonah's is like no other and my top pick for a special occasion dinner. Stayed for a night with breakfast once and it was highly luxurious. The terrace is perfect for an afternoon cocktail with panoramic views of Whale beach watching sail boats drift by. The worst part of going to Jonah's is leaving

Had known about Jonah's for years and decided to find out if my preconceived idea that it would be a nice place to visit was realistic. I underestimated. My lady and I flew up from Canberra then from Rose Bay to Pittwater with Sydney Seaplanes. We spent the night at Jonah's before returning to the city the next day. And we loved it. The staff exercised a friendliness rarely seen nowadays, the food was a little too good (over indulged), the accommodation had a view to die for. And it was just plain wonderful. Hope we get the opportunity to it go again.

We were given a breakfast voucher as a present for Christmas. Although they had no space online they were really accommodating and found space for us. We were really lucky with the weather. The restaurant has sweeping views over Whale Beach. The food was excellent and the service incredibly attentive.

My partner and I went and visited Jonah s yesterday and had the three course a la carte menu. Upon entering the restaurant, we were warmly welcomed by the guest service agent. The food was impeccable and the service was outstanding. Probably the finest service we have ever received. Everything was just perfect and thank you for looking after us! Definitely recommending this fab restaurant.

A great place to relax and take in the beautiful expanse of sea. The staff and food are above the usual average fair of Sydney's finer establishments.

Attention to detail and great setting should make your weekend or holiday or meal at Jonah's worthwhile and very memorable.

This restaurant has a great location with an interesting menu. Unfortunately the eating experience was let down by a number of things that were individually minor but all added up to a pretty underwhelming experience: 20 minute waits for bar drinks; being seated later than our booking and told we had only 15 minutes to order before the kitchen closed; waiting staff who marched up to the table at the end of the first course to interrupt conversation and ask if everything was 'okay'; faint jazz drowned out by the sound of Kanye West played loudly in the function room next door. These are all things that can be forgiven, but not at a restaurant that professes to be the 'perfect location to escape, relax and indulge'. Good food let down by distinctly average service.

A bit of a let down.
We were given a $600 voucher for Xmas for Jonah's. We called ahead to confirm if we could use some of the voucher for dinner and some for lunch the next day as there's no way two people can eat $600 of food when we aren't big drinkers.

The person I spoke with failed to mention that the max amount regifted back would only be $250 and would be mailed so it's not possible to spend the next day. Which is what we found out at the end of our meal.

The staff are great, very attentive, and kept drinks and water topped up. Excellent service! Given its autumn, there are no views at night which is not their fault but the decor and lighting is very dated and sterile as so many people have posted. Would never come for dinner again as you're paying for the view which doesn't exist at night.

The food. Hmm. We had a 4 course meal which didn't impress. It really felt like they tried too hard and over-complicated the food and the flavours. We are pretty easy to please but some of the dishes my wife would not even finish due to taste. Perhaps we just got unlucky and tried the wrong things on the menu or perhaps the current menu is just a bit off. Other top restaurants in Sydney definitely run rings the food we had at Jonah's.

We'll have to come back to spend the rest our voucher so hopefully have a better experience next time and I can hopefully update this review. Will wait for a few menu updates before we do so.

We had heard such good things and we're excited to come but just can't understand what all the fuss is about.

Beautiful outlook. Went there for an early breakfast and the service was fantastic. Although they seem a little stubborn on options. Mrs wanted a orange juice + champaign and they refused because they were not licenced. If your paying this much for breakfast then I think that's unacceptable.
