Manta & Pavilion Wine Bar

I don't often find five star places but this is one!  At first I was put off by "wine bar" because I'm not a huge wine drinker but that's just a name, and describes a wide selection of wines. Dinner of Bibb salad and local chicken, braised was superb.  Chocolate souffle was fresh warm and outstanding. .  Gorgeous setting and fine service. Will return!

While having a bite to eat, your get incredible scenery. You have a nice panoramic shoot of the beach and the cove. Food is not bad, had breakfast while staying there. had all my favorites, waffles, omelets, and if your looking for a big breakfast, the Loco moco over fried rice ono! Employees were friendly but when its slow, less staff =less service. All in all the friendly service and great food along with the amazing view, made up for the slower service.

After telling our name to the surly matre de, she walks away, not one moment please sir, or excuse me, but just leaves.  My date and I looked at each other not knowing what to do. She came back a few minutes later, surely as ever and says, this way, so we get seated at a table, which has a wobbly chair and wait, and wait, and wait finally the waitress approaches our table, but no, the bread guy gets there first, and she shrugs and leaves as we're frantically trying to get her attention, so we didn't hear annoying about the bread. Fail. Is this their first day?  We finally get someone to take our drink order which had all of 3 ingredients, didn't get that right, fail. Dinner was pretty good after a very long wait for service, but the live music was close to intolerably bad. There were a few other missteps, but not worth bickering over because I recommend you stay away. Front of house 2, back of house 8. Also, why do you have koi statues in front of a restaurant called manta?  I suspect because you had to rebrand. I also suspect you kept the same management. Poor choice. Completely unacceptable service for this price point.
