There were six of us in the food couldn't have been any better in the atmosphere. And the service was wonderful
Classic resort fine dining experience. Well polished service, perfectly composed dishes, beautiful view. Was well worth the visit.
Fantastic view, amazing service and a very nice restaurant. Recommend dining at or after sunset so you can walk down to beach to see the Manta Rays that are attracted to the spotlight

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, allowing diners to 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 being helpful and caring, and the manager welcoming and warm. The food receives high marks, with favorites like the seared ahi, tomato soup, burrata, oysters, and beef tenderloin. Visitors often enjoy viewing the Manta Rays at the deck, where they perform playful back flips, especially after dinner when they can be seen swimming close by. The food presentation, taste, and sourcing are phenomenal, and the view of the sunset over palms and the beach adds to the experience. While 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. Guests also appreciate the starry night sky and the chance to see the incredible Manta Rays up close.
