Hi Chris and Tiara,
Thank you so much for making Helen's birthday special. The platters were a big hit and delicious and the food was great. Everyone commented on how they enjoyed being there and what a wonderful place Stowaway is. Helen had a really good time. You might have new regulars there after Helen's birthday.

Some of the feedback we received from our June-July-August 2012 Living Social campaign:

"Would have to be the friendliest service I have ever had and the food was lovely"

"Perfect service. You are being made special every time you go. Nice and solid good."

"Great service, great brekkie, great view. Thanks! See you again."

"Very friendly, they even welcomed our little dog. Beautiful location and food."

 

"For a no fuss approach to breakfast and lunch and absolute waterfront dining, the Bayview Kiosk is a must.  With views up to Lion Island and a shaded alfresco dining area, it is one of the best spots on Pittwater.  The menu offers great variety.  Head out early and start the best part of the day with a Bayview breakfast of bacon, sausages, eggs, tomatoes, toast and hash browns.  By far the standout on the menu are the lunch items.  Try the chicken burger with marinated breast, lettuce, tomato, beetroot, sweet chilli sauce and chips or the steak sandwich with the lot.  If it's seafood that takes your fancy, the grilled flathead served with chips and salad is a winner.  On those big craving days the garlic and chilli prawn pizza hits the spot." (Manly Daily, 20 January 2012)

"Our group really enjoyed the location and the food, which was very reasonably priced. The service was friendly and well organized. With the cafes great location, good food, and friendly staff, I am sure we will be back. Thank you for another excellent experience at Bayview Kiosk."
