Manta Restaurant

We were lucky enough to stay in Hawaii for eight days and our dinner experience at Manta was the highlight of our trip. The ambiance and sheer quality of the food and service was unmatched compared to all of our other dining experiences. Stand out personally was the bistek with the oxtail marmalade and the side of sweet potato leek. I can't wait for my next trip to come and enjoy again!

Went on September 23rd there, the ambience was nice, ordered burrata, oysters and beef tenderloin. Everything was delicious, despite slow season there was nice live music and our server was attentive and always checking on us if all good. Orders came on time. Enjoyed the night out and especially was happy to see manta rays!! Didn’t want to go to water at night to see them and this place literally made it happen the best way. Also stars at night in the sky are amazing!

Overall a great place for dinner. The food, service and ambience are great. If you like uni, the uni pasta app is a must get! Added bonus is the manta ray show at 9pm.

If you are looking for a view this is the place for you. If you are looking for tasteful food don't go here. I had the Ceasars salad and the Forgotten zucchini. The salad was very small and very tasteless. The zucchini was an appetizer portion ($52.00) and nothing to even talk about. My wife had a similar reaction to her meal and she is writing her own review. Our $176.00 meal was a waste of our time. P.s. our waitress took our order and we didn't see her again until she brought the check.

You know- the food was great. The atmosphere and food were fantastic. Everything wasn’t perfect, like all of our businesses; but you know what was perfect… the authentic, sincere ways that the staff apologized for a delay. A free desert, that was not expected. The genuine nature of the staff, not demanded from management. The 5-stars is 100% because of the staff, even though all was very good. My compliments and thanks. This is a treasure to discover.
