We had the best table with the sunset right in front of us. Although warm it was worth it. Also the food and ambience and wine was amazing. It made for a magical night. Also they had live music playing gentle melodies in the background. Truly an unforgettable experience.

About the restaurant
Manta is the signature restaurant of the iconic Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and has breathtaking views of the Kohala Coast. The menu is a curation of Pacific Rim cuisine with seasonal, local, and sustainably-produced ingredients.
Chef Bryan Nagao has gained formidable reputation in the international food community. He was once described by American media as "the most notable figures in rendering Modern Asian cuisine in the Northern hemisphere". The creativity permeating his cuisine stems from the diversity of his culinary background. Bryan's cuisine is a multi-faceted reflection of his Hawai'i Island birthplace, his Japanese ancestry, and decades spent in the finest restaurants in Hong Kong and Taipei.
Manta features live music on Tues, Wed, & Sat.

Nice experience with delicious food. It's a bit overpriced, but acceptable for a unique experience due to its location. Seeing the Manta Rays and snorkelers in the bay around sunset and after dark was worth the extra cost! We went twice in a week and saw Manta Rays one night. Our party had a variety of entrees that were all good. The chocolate soufflé was fabulous.

The food and outdoor dining experience on the patio was great. We really enjoyed our salmon in the cast iron skillet and had delicious crepes to follow for dessert. The view across the golf course and out to the beautiful mountains of West Maui was awesome.
