Went there for special occasion upon a recommendation and was completely disappointed. The food was very good, but the service was some of the worst. The bus girl was more attentive and helpful than our waitress. The host went to every table, but ours to ask how everything was....twice. This occurred 4 years ago after our wedding and it still...

We spent a few days mini-honeymooning on Block Island in June of 2010 and enjoyed dinner here 2 out of our 3 nights. Everything about the experience was wonderful, including the service, food and ambience! The huge chunks of lobster in our mashed potatoes and risotto make me long for another trip to Hotel Manisses/Block Island. We get slivers of... More

We have eaten in the Manisses many times this past summer. Their food is gourmet, very tasteful and presented beautifully.

We were joined by friends who were celebrating their wedding anniversary with ours. Gerry's bartending skills were perfect, as always. The scallops, salmon, and pasta with procuitto and duck were all excellent.

My fiancee and I treated ourselves to the restaurant at Hotel Manisses after seeing their menu in a guide to Block Island restaurants at our b&b. We called ahead and were told that seating was first come, first served after 7p, and when we arrived around 730p we were told there was approximately an hour wait. We ordered a bottle... More
