I like their chicken very much. It's taste delicious. The location is in front of the marina. The service also not bad

This is a great option for lunch. There is seating along the verandah which then overlooks the Marina. We were impressed with the menu and food. We were told that they had just recently changed the menu. We enjoyed and would recommend the corn fritters...and nori tacos (photos of both included).More

You will need to book to get in here, as it gets very busy! This is the best seafood I have had for a long time and looking around when I was seated, they all seemed to think the same! Even my other half, who...doesn't really eat a lot of seafood in general, he wanted to give it a try and was not disappointed. The most delicious prawn linguini and baked salmon was served to us, which were popular dishes that night and I would hard pressed to find something of equal flavour at home!More

Thank you Melia. To say we were blown away is an understatement. We ate here every day we were on the island and we pretty much spent the entire meal, talking about how amazing the meal was. Words like ‘delectable’ and ‘superb’ were used and...we even asked ourselves if they sprinkled perfection dust on everything. 99% of the menu was gluten free and the food was just beyond spectacular. Somebody needs to buy the head chef a pint. Now let’s talk about the hostesses, as soon as you walk in you are welcomed with such smiling faces, so knowledgeable about the entire menu and you can tell they actually enjoy their jobs and the people they work with. We were so lucky to have Melia as our host each time when went ere to eat. She is just the most positive ray of sunshine and talked so highly of her manager Gina, who we were also lucky enough to meet. I mean what a place. The view is wonderful and the meals are so well priced. I felt so normal eating here. I can personally recommend: Gluten free bread and olive oil and balsamic vinegar. So fresh and just wonderfully prepared. Oyster kilpatrick - this was a huge fav because normally I can have oysters and lemon juice 😐 The cauliflower stack (never in my life would I order a vegetarian meal dining out but it was recommended and so we decided to try it. Omg. 😍) The eye fillet - the onion rings were of course gluten free and the whole meal was just perfect. The chips - separate fryer and they have a Parmesan and herb topping. Just perfect Chicken riblets- these are probably my number one because no way can I get battered chicken anywhere. It’s made with rice flour and it’s soooooo good. The seafood linguini. I have my partner a try (no allergy) and he said he wouldn’t have known it was gluten free. This place is such a huge treat. As you can tell I’m excited about leaving them a reviewMore

Great food and service. We sat overlooking the sea and enjoyed the evening breeze whilst eating a fabulous meal. The burgers were delicious. Definitely worth a visit, booking needed.

The wait staff were sensational but given it was 35 degrees and we were ushered outside under a sail cloth, it was bloody hot. The wait staff are overdressed and we all felt sorry for them having to dress in inappropriate clothing or uniforms. We...ordered Oysters for an entree and when they arrived, we tasted one and sent them back. the chef smelt them and agreed. they were deducted from the bill without us asking. The food was really say 5/10! This restaurant is really a winter only place as there are no fans and no misting, so it was oppressive to say the least. I felt sorry for the wait staff as they were overdressed given the weather conditions and it is Hammo, a tropical and holiday environment. I don't know how they functioned in the heat. We think that this place needs a strong review as it fails to maintain a similar standard to other restaurants on Hammo.More

Manta Ray use to be a staple place for a quick meal on Hamo. Reasonably priced and good food. Sadly not any longer. Very expensive, average food, and slow service. Wouldn’t bother again.

Really enjoyed Manta Ray. Reviews were hit and miss but I had no issues with what I ordered both times. Round 1 - Kilpatrick Oysters and the Wagyu Burger. Wagyu burger was dripping a little bit of grease but nothing out of the ordinary. Was...delicious. Oysters were fantastic too. Round 2 - Prawn Linguine. Rich flavours and a lot of garlic, made for a great pre-workout meal for that afternoon with that pasta. Also the setting here on both occasions was beautiful overlooking the marina.More

We came once for a quick drink and were greeted with genuine kindness and hospitality. Lunch menu looked amazing but we returned for dinner, top meat quality, delicious fish dish and salads, interesting and refreshing cocktails and very reasonably priced, the wine could’ve been a...little better, staff and service very kind and nice, well doneMore

I dont know why this place has some poor reviews. I thought it was so delicious. I’m vegan and they have a cauliflower steak and maple glazed carrots that they were able to remove cheese from, and they were SO GOOD. One of the best...things I’ve had on the island so far. I will definitely be coming back.More
