what the reviews say ...
|
|
"The finger wharf restaurant strip is sassy Sydney at its best. In Manta's coolly modern interior, the image of a ray floats on a teal coloured mural wall, yet most diners prefer outside, where powerbrokers and B-list celebs promenade to tables overlooking expensive boats and the city skyline.
|
| - SMH Good Food Guide 2009 Score: 14/20 |
|
| "Very little beats harbourside dining in Sydney; sitting on the wharf at Manta doesn’t disappoint. Large sails provide ample cover over the city-facing boardwalk so diners can while away the afternoon enjoying Daniel Hughes’ straightforward, mainly piscatorial menu." |
| - Australian Gourmet Traveller 2009 |
|
| "Let's start with the steak. Not an obvious choice in a seafood restaurant but this meat is no afterthought. Manta has four cuts, detailing the breed, feed regimen and provenance. It tells you a lot about the effort and attention paid to the produce." |
