Originalmente planeaba cenar en Brasserie Zedel, pero subestimé lo popular que era y no podía reservar una mesa! Por casualidad, terminé reservando uno de sus restaurantes hermanos: Manzi’s. Sorprendentemente, resultó ser bastante bueno y lo más destacado: el baño es precioso. Manzi’s se encuentra en un callejón. Si no fueras a comer allí, probablemente no entrarías a propósito. Entrar es una agradable sorpresa, el interior está profusamente decorado con un tema oceánico. El restaurante sirve principalmente mariscos locales británicos, por lo que la mayor parte de la comida estaba basada en mariscos: • Salmón ahumado Severn & Wye • Cóctel de langostinos de Manzi • Shetland Mussels Marinière • Calabaza de mantequilla asada • Manzi’s Fish and Chips En general, la comida era bastante buena. El cóctel de gambas y mejillones fueron los más sabrosos. El servicio también era decente, aunque los precios eran más altos. Una cosa que vale la pena mencionar: el hermoso baño con un lavabo de conchas marinas, espejo de conchas marinas, luces de conchas marinas y una cerradura de puerta de caballito de mar. Mucho desprende el ambiente de la Sirenita.

No tuvimos la intención de hacerlo, pero fuimos con el menú establecido que a £ 30 por 3 platos y una copa de vino era un valor excepcional. Salmón ahumado y sopa de guisantes fueron nuestros entrantes, caballa y pollo para la red con mousse de chocolate y plátano partido para terminar. Todo presentado bien, todo muy bueno y con un servicio amable encantador. También es un lugar muy cómodo y de alta calidad, nos encantó

El nuevo Manzi (nada como el antiguo) ha traído estilo a un callejón trasero del Soho. La bienvenida era cálida (incluso un guardarropa - ¿cuándo sucedió eso por última vez) y el gerente es animado y perceptivo - hace la diferencia. El comedor de la planta baja es un lugar muy relajante para estar. La comida era de primera clase y tenía un precio atractivo (para el pescado y el centro de Londres) frente a los competidores establecidos no muy lejos. Servicio joven sonriente y eficiente. Si puedes permitirte unas rondas, los cócteles se veían geniales. Incluso los botines son un placer OTT. Volviendo.

Necesitábamos un restaurante cerca del festival de Reggae. Mi hija eligió este ya que me encantan los platos de pescado. Qué hallazgo. Ambiente relajante. Accesorios de lujo. Hermosa decoración. El menú era extenso. Fue difícil elegir, así que compartimos algunos platos. Todo estaba fresco y delicioso. Nuestra camarera era muy amable y servicial e hizo que nuestra experiencia de 1 calle aquí aún mejor. Volveremos.

Visitamos Manzi's para almorzar hoy antes de ir al teatro para una matiné. Fue una experiencia fabulosa y sin duda volveremos. Llegamos temprano y realmente nos encantó la decoración general y el ambiente del restaurante. Optamos por el menú del Soho, compartiendo un entrante de ensalada griega con pan, seguido de besugo y una tarta de maracuyá y chocolate. El besugo era perfecto - muy fresco y muy bien cocinado. La ensalada era preciosa y la tarta estaba justo al final de la comida. Nuestro camarero era brillante - simplemente completamente profesional y muy agradable. Sin duda volveremos a casa de Manzi y esperamos otro día en Londres.

We wanted a nice restaurant in London 5 days before Christmas where 3 generations of the family (age range - 22 to 76) could catch up as 2 of the group live in Australia. The requirements included a menu that would provide enough choice (and wasn't a set menu). And somewhere we wouldn't have to shout at each other to carry on a conversation. Manzis proved to be the perfect spot. It felt a little bit special when you walked in, there was a cloakroom. The staff were lovely and friendly, they didn't rush us. Our table was perfect, the decor was a bit kitsch but we loved it, the seating was comfortable, you didn't feel crowded in in any way. Everyone found something they liked on the menu, and everyone was happy when their choices. So a winner all round for our group.

We chose Manzi’s because we like the other restaurants in the group, and had booked early dinner at 5:30 after going to the Palladium panto. The decor is quirky and sea themed, and obviously a lot of money has been spent. It was very quiet given the lull after Christmas and New Year, and we understand it had been very busy for the preceding month, probably the reason for some of the poor reviews in the last few weeks. A wide ranging menu, and the set menus offer particularly good value for money, although portions are not large. I had Greek salad, which was very pleasant but quite tiny. My husband had Calamari, again he enjoyed it but a small portion. We both opted for the fish and chips which were excellent, but disappointingly not very hot which is surprising being as the restaurant wasn’t busy at this time and the food should have just come out of a deep fat fryer. Service was attentive, not rushed. However, several groups going to theatre performances were very tight on time - less than an hour for dinner before a show is cutting it very tight! All in all we enjoyed the experience, and will return, certainly worth a try and don’t read too much into the service reviews during December.

A mixed experience, the atmosphere and the service were good. The food ranged from being good to really quite bad. I had the moules and the portion was small and the mussels tiny. The fries were cold. My daughter had the salmon and thought it was delicious. The fish and chips was good but not amazing.

Quietly tucked away from busy Soho, Manzi' was a delight. The entire staff were fantastic, with honourable mentions to the bar manager and head waiter/maitre'd. We both had 3 excellent courses from differing set menus, a glass of wine and 2 cocktails, with change from £100.00. Can't wait to come back and try the oyster 'happy hour' which we just missed. Oh, and the Casablanca cocktail which I'll be attempting to copy at home this week!

We had the great pleasure of dining here several times last month. The quality of the food and service kept us coming back. The 2 set menus are a great value--so unexpected in a restaurant of this caliber. We were here last fall, as well, and if anything, it has improved. Go before they raise the prices on the set menus!

We are upstairs . Beautiful room, we felt thoroughly looked after and the food was beautiful. I had the dressed crab and the lemon sole. The crab was beautifully presented and separated into white, brown and a gorgeous brown crab mayonnaise. The lemon sole was a lovely whole fish served on the bone, cooked with skill to perfection. Others at the table had bouillabaisse, puttanesca and sardines. All delighted with the food. The room was beautiful, staff lovely if slightly under drilled. Will return!

Chosen for its proximity to the theatre, perfect location for quick bite before the show. We enjoyed the set that came with grilled fish on a bed of salad. It was good to get vegetables in. There was an extensive cocktails menu. The non alcoholic drinks were also very pretty, served in an attractive glass. We were unaware there was a cabaret show on the day until we got there. The performers were keeping everyone entertained. It’s a shame we missed most of it but know to look out for this next time.

I was so excited to introduce my business colleagues to this restaurant as I loved the original Manzi's off Leicester Square. We sat outside with the heating on, with great expectations of this seafood restaurant with its beautiful decor and setting. Disappointingly, when the food arrived, they were all average in presentation and quality. Fish and chips came in an unexciting and flat batter, with a miserly bunch of watercress. I asked for a green salad in place of chips and the green leaves were full of chives that I couldn't eat. It was cordially replaced by green leaves full of spring onions instead and covered in an extremely sharp vinaigrette. The fish of the day was sea trout but my visiting colleague also declared it mediocre. I had expected to pay over average prices to have the best seafood meal but I was glad we did not order anything fancy because even the staple dishes were only passable. Compare this to my local fish restaurant, The Golden Hind in Marylebone Lane, this wouldn't even be my second choice. I was told that nothing of the old Manzi's management was involved, only the name was acquired. What a pity. Good decor and uninformed compartmentalised waiters do not make for a good restaurant. The Wolseley Management should work harder to provide quality food that match the listing on the menu.

It was my first time, and I was really excited to try some good seafood as per reviews. Unfortunately, I did enjoy just the oyster's hour. I had the king prawns as main, and they smelled of ammonia. The small portions of the starters are embarrassing. I hope it helps to improve your quality.

Had a very enjoyable meal with my sister with staff welcoming, always attentive but not intrusive. Beautiful decor, lovely food, relaxed atmosphere and great cocktails. Would definitely return and recommend.

Amazing experience, food and service of the highest level, in beautiful opulent surroundings. I started with the grilled octopus, followed by the Lobster Linguine, both were beautifully cooked. Wine list and cocktail list complimented the menu perfectly. Will definitely be going back!!

Not as good as it probably thinks it is. Part of the Wolsely group, so pretentions of grandeur apparent. Huge awnings try to conceal the unprepossessing front elevation, reminiscent of a 1970s Midlands light industry admin block. Hardly any outside diners despite being a glorious Summer evening. Unsmiling Reception meet and greet. We were early for our booking and so had an aperitif in the almost empty downstairs bar, there were about 4 diners at 2 tables, and no other drinkers at bar. Drinks list sparse on cocktails - there is a separate list available on request, apparently. First boo boo - my Campari soda was crashed up with way too much ice and I had to ask for the customary orange slice. Partner had a fine Tarquin's Cornish gin - but £2.95 for tonic - really - when the gin weighed in at £15.25. I was fleeced for £2.95 for soda, which probably came from a bar gun, at minimal cost, and a single slug of Campari at £12 seems avaricious ( you can score a bottle for £17). And nary a bar nibble in sight - some Japanese rice crackers or similar would have been a nice touch. The tone was being set for the whole experience - some amateurish service in quite pleasant surroundings, just verging on the cheaply ostentatious, with the intention of fleecing the customer for as much as could be squeezed from them. Upstairs restaurant not v busy, and music too loud to be background, with persistent and annoying backbeat. One pleasant wait staff and one supercilious lackadaisical waitron who splashed the water and did not wipe it up. The maitre de dropped dirty cutlery when clearing, and effectively only wiped the clean parts of the table, avoiding any detritus. I observed another party having to get up and forage for a jug of water themselves as the waitstaff ignored the need. Lighting a bit murky, and whole decor a bit clunky. Starters- miniscule portions. Bland ceviche and reasonable grilled octopus in a sludgy warm sauce which tasted like slghtly minty guacamole. You will get an awful lot of servings from even a small octo, v profitable at £11.50 a pop. No bread provided, available at £5 plus per serving - please try that trick in France. At these prices, that is just greedy. We opted for the house sharing speciality - monkfish Wellington. Came with an underseasoned sauce and no garnish or nowt else so we ordered "spring greens" - a v small saucer of kale with about half a teaspoon of toasted almond flakes for an extra £6. Parsimonious. The waiting gingerly handled the plates as though they were radioactive - I picked mine up to show it was, in fact, stone cold. The pleasant waitress asked if I wanted really hot plates, I replied I'd settle for decently warm ones. These arrived with no further delay so must have been available in the first place, so why were they not provided ? Wine list stratosherically expensive, of course, so I simply opted for the cheapest dry white - I'm having Puligny Montrachet tomorrow, so will enjoy that in lieu of paying over the odds for average products. The "Wellington " showed well prepared fish, skillfully boned out, but still skin on, to preserve the shape, I guess. There was no layer acting as a buffer between the fish and the pastry ; with beef Wellington this is pate,and mushroom duxelle. With salmon coubillac it is rice. The monkfish would have benefited from an intervening plasma, maybe a fish pate ? Due to the lack of such, the puff pastry did not cleave to the fish and fell away easily, detracting from the presentation and effect. A shame, because this should be an impressive dish. And at £74.50 for 2, it really should come with veg du jour, I hazard. Dessert WAS good - we shared a very good, light Manjari chocolate mousse of decent size. Enjoyable. The occasion was my birthday. To mark this, the resto provided, on a HUGE dinner plate, with "Happy Birthday " inscribed in cursive in chocolate sauce....one single Lily O'Brien chocolate. Laughable. When I had stopped chortling, I checked out the loos before asking for the bill. Nice decor, I wish as much care was taken with the food. So, 2 aperitifs, a bottle of wine, no bread, 2 starters, a shared main house speciality,1 dessert no coffee, and 15% service charge. Total -£204.76 I have enjoyed better birthday meals at La Trompette, Villa Bianca, The French Table , nter alia. The choice is yours, but I think better value, and better food and ambiance can be found elsewhere

Went there yesterday, thought we would have a lovely Latin evening with Spanish music etc, well the music was rubbish, mix of house music very loud, the atmosphere is not what you see on adverts. The only thing good is the food, but nothing else. Aqua Nueva it’s not for me, will NOT return!

Our first exposure to fish and chips and it was very delicious. Staff were a little surly on all 3 times I visited but probably because I'm a tourist whereas this feels like it is mostly a locals spot. Had the cod twice and had the haddock once. Fries weren't very crispy but that was probably because I took our orders to go and it is all wrapped up together in paper. Still tasty though. As a note, this place is CASH ONLY.

What an absolutely brilliant visit! Visited on Thursday lunch. We were plonked right in front of the kitchen with our little grandson, who was in full Tasmanian devil mode. Not exactly your ideal dining neighbour, but the staff couldn’t have been more lovely. Kat, the manager, deserves a medal. She managed to entertain the baby and the grandad who perked right up the moment she mentioned football stats (he's still convinced she should be managing the Blues). Honestly, if she ever fancies a side hustle in babysitting/grandad-wrangling, please let us know :) The food was spot on, the service was flawless, and the whole thing felt more like lunch at your favourite cousin’s than a restaurant. We’ll definitely be back — assuming they’ll still have us :)
