About

Beautiful, romantic seating area in a hotel where the shrimp tacos, crab ravioli, and tuna tataki are standouts. The seafood tagliatelle is one of the best meals ever — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Apple cake with vanilla ice cream is the perfect finish. Attentive service with great food and enchanting atmosphere.

    Great ambience, good service. The portions are small but then again it's a fine dining restaurant. Enjoyed the food.

    This restaurant is located in a hotel. The seating area is beautiful and romantic. I really enjoyed the food: shrimp taco’s, crab ravioli and tuna tataki. It is a bit more pricey compared to other restaurants, but we can only recommend.

    Absolutely loved my experience at Manni’s! The seafood tagliatelle was one of the best meals I’ve ever had; perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The apple cake with vanilla ice cream was the perfect finish. Quiet, cozy ambience with a lovely breeze and warm service. Can’t wait to come back!

    Oh my goodness. That was an experience. Very difficult to find, but for that I blame google. The place looks fabulous, and the starters were not bad. Then it nosedived sharply. All food was marginally above cold but most importantly the steaks were absolutely NOT the 28 day hung that was advertised. Also, if you do try to serve decent steaks then perhaps also provide steak knives. So two plates were returned, totally undercooked as even Mr manni acknowledged although not much else was said. We were a group of six, two dishes returned, 2 dishes cold 1 dish (chicken curry) as the most bland taste despite asking for some spice. Fine dining?, not a chance at all. We were placed on the first floor which had a great view of the massage rooms opposite, yeah really. The bill was presented and we were expected to pay for everything even though 2 dishes were returned. Finally one was removed. Our last evening was a disaster and nobody seemed to care or have the first idea. We were so excited with a fine dining potential with such good reviews but it’s a total joke.

    We had a lovely evening at Manni’s! Service was attentive, food was great, and atmosphere was enchanting! Highlights for me were our drinks, appetizers and desserts. My tuna tataki was the best I have ever had and my daughter loved her tropical tuna just as much!
