Manta Restaurant offers a fine dining experience with top-notch service and delicious food. The friendly and efficient staff ensure that guests feel like royalty, refilling drinks and clearing plates promptly. The restaurant boasts a beautiful view, and diners can enjoy watching Manta Rays swim in the nearby waters. The menu features spectacular dishes, including the Kona Kanpachi and scallop risotto special. The setting is extraordinary, with a view of the cove and swimmers, and the atmosphere is enhanced by live music on Saturday nights. Guests have praised the attentive service, with staff like Michelle being helpful and caring, and the manager welcoming and warm. The food receives high marks, with favorites like the seared ahi and tomato soup, and memorable evenings are often spent viewing the Manta Rays at the deck, where they perform playful back flips. While some dishes, such as the chocolate Mille feuille, may be challenging to eat, overall, the experience is exceptional. Though prices are high, the beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, and memorable moments make Manta Restaurant a top choice for special occasions or romantic evenings on the Big Island.
