Each dish we ordered was a culinary delight, showcasing the chef's skill and creativity. The ambiance added to the overall experience, creating a perfect setting for a memorable meal.
Thank you!

We were visiting our adult daughter in Sydney and went to Manta for dinner to celebrate my husband birthday. It was divine. The food, the ambiance, the staff - everything. It’s under new ownership and management and they’re going above and beyond !!!! We definitely recommend it !

Gorgeous setting, great service and delicious food. Our favourite restaurant in Sydney so far! Highly recommend ordering the tuna and kingfish to start and the crab lasagne.

The ambiance at Manta is simply breathtaking, with its elegant decor and soothing atmosphere providing the perfect backdrop for an indulgent meal. Whether you're seated indoors or outdoors, every corner of the restaurant exudes an air of sophistication and tranquility.
What truly sets Manta apart, however, is its impeccable service. From the moment you're greeted at the door to the attentive care provided throughout your meal, the staff, exemplified by the exceptional Popi, ensure that every need is not only met but anticipated. Their attention to detail and genuine warmth elevate the dining experience to new heights.

We had a perfect dinner in every respect. Lovely location, buzzy vibe, comfortable seating, attentive service and sensational food. Everything was super fresh, expertly prepared and enjoyable to eat. You rarely get all these characteristics together but Manta nails it.

I highly recommend Manta for any occasion.

Exceptional view, high-end food, and friendly staff. In particular, the manager had an old-school, personable manner, engaging in chat from the get-go and throughout the evening. Reminded me of what the restaurant scene in Sydney used to be like in the good ol’ days. Nothing was too difficult for this gentleman, even though we were a table of many different dietary requirements. The food was high quality and cooked with skill and simplicity. We brought our own cake - a fancy multi-tiered designer piece - and the restaurant did an exceptional job storing it safely, presenting it with candles and sparklers, and bringing it out at the perfect time. There are lots of restaurants at Wooloomooloo but I think this one is a standout.

My partner makes the reservation with a glass of champagne upon arrival and we hope that the staff will bring it to the table without asking since it was specified in the booking that it was intended to be a surprise upon arrival.
We got a very complete set menu, fresh seafood, king fish, super recommended, the main was good except the steak which was well done and no one asked us how we wanted it to be cooked , we paid $22 extra to have oysters and truffle fries which is not bad but dessert was not the best to finish a seafood dinner, something more delicate should be better.
The bottle of wine was delicious, perfect food paring.
