   Wonderful dinner at Manta. Great setting at the Muana Kea Resort. Food was fabulous. Excellent service. Live light jazz in the background. We started with Ceasar salad and lobster bisque, followed by Mahi and Baby Lamb Chops. For dessert, Creme Brulet. Pricey, but worth the whole experience.

   Lovely seating overlooking small inlet. Sound of water gently coming to shore bright stars over head…then you focus on the menu. Nothing original or exciting. George ordered fruit de mar for $65. It was a frozen prepared meal that was heat and serve. Did not have a fresh taste. I fared better with the chicken but the vegetables were watery with chunks of back skinned stuff(taro?). The farm green salad had a dressing that can only be described as curdled milk. The sashimi was not executed properly with chunks that were 4x2 inches big. Overall not a memorable dining event

   Beautiful location. Food was good with the exception that we had to send my husband’s sea bass entree back as it was not completely cooked! Otherwise the food was excellent—especially the chocolate soufflé

   Was pleasantly surprised with the food, was better than I was expecting after reading some negative reviews. Seafood Bisque was however very watery. The baked alaska dessert they made for my friends birthday was delicious and the best dessert I had on trip. Service started out really good but towards end (later at night/end of shift) it was lagging and really ready to get going. Not cheap and maybe not the top quality you'd expect for price but wasn't as bad as some have said.

    Ambiance is beautiful. Restaurant was quiet, not noisy. Service was impeccable. My husband had the steak and he said it was tender and cooked perfectly. I had the encrusted Mahi-mahi and it also was a dish I highly recommend. A beautiful place to have dinner. Oh, we have had mai tais everywhere on this island and on Maui. We have to say the Mai Tais at Manta are the best we have had!

    Food came out cold and their were a bunch of cockaroaches outside. Never experienced such a terrible environment and cats. This should be called bug sanctuary as no mantas were visible.

    We came here for dinner based off of the good reviews and gorgeous views from the dining room. Our waitress Crystal was very kind and attentive. Unfortunately, the food fell short. The lobster bisque was cold and under seasoned. The crab fried rice was greasy and felt as if it was warmed in a microwave. For our main course we ordered the macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi. My wife took her first bite and the fish was completely raw inside it was still cold. We notified Crystal and she was beyond apologetic and offered to remake the dish. We declined and decided to end dinner and go back to our hotel and opted for room service. I would suggest drinks during sunset at this restaurant and dinner elsewhere.

    We go to the Big Island twice a year and it’s become tradition to eat at Manta on our last night and say goodbye to the island. It’s wonderful and the view is spectacular!

    Everything was “spot on” perfect. Our server Richelle turned a great meal into a great experience. My husband had the sashimi followed by the filet with lobster tail . I had the bisque and the Fruitti de Mare. Every bite was delicious. It is definitely a special occasion place, due to the prices, but the view and service were indeed as outstanding as the food.

    Had late reservations, got to resort early so went and asked if we could get a table, no issues. Our servers were excellent. Attentive but not over the top. Food was excellent and walking down the path to the Manta viewing area after a wonderful chocolate soufflé topped off the night.

    Overrated and overpriced. Rude and condescending wait staff. We were not super hungry and wanted to share a few entrees and got dirty looks from the waiter who kept asking if we wanted more starters. Asked for a steak medium and it was almost well done. The food was just ok for the price and the hype. Would not go back here again

    Overall Very nice meal for our last night on the island. Fresh catch was a sea bass with a shrimp and a scallop. Chocolate soufflé was very good though it was laughable (in a sad way) that the Kona ice cream that came with it was literally a spoonful amount of ice cream. The ambience was great with live musicians and seating close to the ocean.

    Food was very good. Some thought the portions were small for the price but I feel like that’s expected for a resort restaurant. We had a late night reservation so it was already dark but the view of the bay would have been spectacular during the daylight. Service was slow because they were understaffed but everyone was very polite and apologetic about the wait. Valet was free even though we weren’t staying at the resort.

    While the views are incredible, the food and service is as well. We had the shrimp and scallop de mare ; pasta was light as well as sauce. Kona kanpachi is delicious too! We enjoy having entrees as appetizers and then sharing an entree , server asked if we would like our meal split for us. All wonderful!
