The Brighton Bistro - MANNING POINT

Went here for dinner on a Friday night and was very pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu and restaurant quality of the club food. I had pulled pork croquettes, which was an entrée but was delicious quite enough for dinner & my friends thoroughly enjoyed their parmesan & herb crusted chicken schnitzel (I had a taste and they were excellent) We were with a group of about 15 and everyone loved their meals.

New chef and renovated kitchen at the Brighton Bistro in Manning Point Bowling Club. Food is delicious and portions are very generous! Chef makes all sauces and salads from scratch as well. Entrees are so good you can order 2 or 3 and share them as a meal. Chicken Parmigiana was fantastic and Beer Battered Barramundi delicious. Chef has weekly specials - Duck spring rolls this week! Well worth the visit! Plus the club itself has the best cold beer on tap in the area!

I booked a party of 34 for Sunday lunch...amazing food...amazing chef..and the staff was great..Very Highly recommended. .once again thank you Lisa.

At the "Manning Point Bowling Club's" bistro, I had the most amazing, huge, juicy chicken schnitzel, encased in gorgeous parmesan and herb home made crumbing. I have NEVER had anything as good and all for $18. Evidently the steak special (2 for $24) was fantastic too. This lucky club has scored itself a top knotch chef!!!!!The restaurant opens at 5.30pm, Wed. to Sun. (despite the old club sign out front) and all meals are under $20. (Ignore the menu on the old web site.)Restaurant staff were lovely but two other club staff members were abrupt.This bistro IS REALLY SPECIAL!!!!!

We have visited Manning Point for the last 2 years over the Christmas/New Year period and both years have been to the kids disco at the Manning Point Bowling Club. Last year, it was busy and the Bistro took ages to get meals out, no one to clear tables but the thing that stood out the most was the extremely poor attitude of bar staff, they were unfriendly, acted like everything was an effort except when serving locals... This year wasn't any better! The service of the kitchen was so slow, adult meals came out before the kids but they took 2.5 hours and then some of the kids meals didn't come at all. We were refunded for the meals that we didn't get however we were at a loss over the "could care less attitude" of restaurant staff. As this would be their busiest time of the year, it would be normal to assume that at an event they put on such as a kids disco they'd have simple organisational strategies in place to cope with a large number of people and wouldn't run out of basics like hot chips! The same again can be said for bar staff this year... Rude and unwelcoming! The club itself is a fantastic venue and it has serious potential to be the social hub of Manning Point with the ability to cater for the influx of holiday visitors if a little bit of time and effort was put in.
