I definitely wouldn't recommend Wilsons Boathouse Seafood Restaurant after celebrating a 34th wedding anniversary there. I found the restaurant to be in poor condition and very run down, the waiter came to our table once and the service was poor, meals were overcooked and drink overpriced, the table water came in was not washed just refilled. We definitely won't go back.

The secret to Wilsons Boathouse is what you order. The menu is somewhat inconsistent. So many people leave feeling ripped off with mediocre food and other people are amazed by what they get.

Now personally my experience is with the seafood platter. Yes it is expensive, but a very big meal by the waterfront.

I also suspect like many restaurants in places that are much busier on weekends than weekdays, the weekend staff are more professional than the weekday staff.

Overall a bit overpriced to want to go back here.

Went as a family group to this restaurant as we were crazy about seafood and enjoy a good wine. Without knowing, we happened to have our table booked right on the waters edge, watching the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race during our lunch. What an amazing view we had!! Every meal and dessert was lovely, but as I said,the last time we ate here was last year. Unfortunately, through talking to my parents, there seems to be new owners and sadly, it's not the No1 seafood restaurant in Brisbane as it used to be. My parents said there last visit would be their last as food was nothing like top quality, the staff were too young and inexperienced (including the 13-14yo daughter) and was so over priced. Sad that it hasn't maintained the wonderful name it always had.

What has happened to Wilsons Boathouse, new owners? I have been here many times but sadly our most recent experience means we will not return. In the past we have been served by professional wait staff but on this occasion we were served by a kind, but rather awkward waitress who could benefit from some training. Other staff members were barely out of their teens and one was either extremely short or around 12 years old....owners' daughter? This lovely child brought us our bill which was about $300 short of the actual cost, there was much fuss and bother when we alerted them to the mistake. When making the booking we specifically said that we would be bringing a pram, however we arrived to find that we were seated next to a table of 20+ people. Concerned that the pram would be in the way of other diners, we requested to move tables only to be told "sorry we are fully booked", even though the restaurant was barely occupied at the time. The junior waitress was obviously not familiar with the concept of swapping tables. I understand some restaurants are doing it tough but trying to save costs by putting junior staff (and a child?) on the busiest night of the week is not a smart move. Such a shame as this has been my favourite restaurant for many years.

We tried Wilson's boathouse at Manly recently for lunch and were very impressed with the hot and cold seafood platter we ordered. There was a great variety of fresh seafood on both platters and between the two of us we could not finish it.
Staff were busy but still very friendly and professional.
I would definitely visit this restaurant again and recommend it to friends!

This restaurant is lovely and the food is amazing. It is very good value for money, and I have eaten here many times. I would recommend it to anyone.

A lovely special occasion restaurant that feels private and intimate, set aside from the main marina. Service was very pleasant and the seafood platters are delicious - so fresh and tasty. Highly recommend.

This restaurant is in a lovely location right beside the water near the Manly Marina. So sit out on the deck and enjoy. The quality of dishes on offer is excellent and their specialty include Qld Prawns and Moreton Bay Bugs and Tasmania Oysters. They also do a great reef and beef dish.

This is the restaurant my husband will often take me to when we celebrate a special occasion. I love seafood and this restaurant has fantastic seafood. It is also a wonderful atmosphere right beside the water at the marina.
