The ambiance is the keynote of the experience at the restaurant however, with the food and the drinks being hit or miss. We ordered 3 appetizers (small plates), of which the highlight was the Brussel sprouts - the prosciutto pasta and the bread were left half-eaten. We had the lamb chops and the daily catch as entrees, and loved the chops, but not the fish. Same experience with the drinks - we ordered 4 of their cocktails and liked 2 and disliked the other 2. Based on the meal, we decided to forego dessert. As this restaurant was highly touted, and a reservation hard to get, we expected the entire experience to be sublime. Ultimately, we had a nice evening, but the food did not meet our expectations, and while the ambiance was excellent, part of the allure was being able to see the mantas while you dined, which was not possible from the restaurant. We did watch the mantas after dinner, from the viewing deck.

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.

Amazing view overlooking the ocean while patio dining! Manta Rays viewable from the beach. Spectacular service by the wait staff. Food and drinks were very good would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the big island.

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.

Absolutely fantastic experience with an emphasis on service. I’m so glad my husband and I were able to visit again after visiting a few years back prior to the renovation. We enjoyed all of the interactions we had with the staff team and felt so welcomed and comfortable. We enjoyed the night’s special dinner appetizer as well as on-menu entree items, cocktails, and a refreshing sorbet dessert with local flavors. When my husband and I think of our “happy place” we envision the patio view overlooking the water from Manta. Thank you so much for the hospitality!

Beautiful locale. Interesting and delicious food. The hostess sat us at a table that was didn’t provide views of the sunset. When we sat down our server moved us to a better table, which we very much appreciated.

The atmosphere and service was wonderful. My husband's order of seared Ahi was great...and the BURRATA salad was wonderful...but the Panko crusted Mahi-Mahi fish was dry, sauce surrounding it helped.
Desserts were not as expected either, disappointed in Baked Alaska.
But atmosphere and service wonderful plus!

From the moment we approached the host desk to our exit it was just a relaxing and memorable experience. The hostess greeted us with a very pleasant smile, she had a sweet personality and a quick kind wit. The location of our table could not have been more perfect. The sunset was that evening was spectacular and as former divers, we got to view to boats on night dives in search of rays. We started with the baby romaine salad which was crisp and flavorful and shared the rib eye. Truly, it was one of the best steaks we have ever had. It was cooked to perfection at a temperature we requested and sliced in the kitchen for us. Aside from the above our absolutely delightful server Jessica helped to make this the best meal of our vacation.
