Manta Peruvian in Lighthouse Point was a great experience! Our waiter was very sweet and attentive, which made the meal even more enjoyable. We ordered Inca Colas, and the kids had passion fruit and lemonade slushie-style drinks -- both were delicious and refreshing. For food, we had the Chaufa Ponca, Lomo Saltado, Fettuccine al Pesto con Apanado de Lomo, and the Acebichado Roll. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. For dessert, we enjoyed the Suspiro Limeño, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Overall, it was about $45 per person and definitely worth it. We'll be back! read more

Grabbed a quick bite before we headed to see a movie. Very friendly bartender, and great recommendations. The menu is cool, has pictures and numbers so you can match the picture with the menu item. I liked that since I don't know a lot of Peruvian dishes. The cocktail menu is extensive and they have something for everyone. Plenty of parking, but parking lot is a hot mess due to many business'. read more

Delicious & beautiful plates and drinks in a beautifully decorated restaurant. We started off with the pulpo al olivo which was phenomenal! It was my first time trying the dish and I'm in love. We then moved to the tuna causitas tostadas where they torch them in front of you then pour the ponzu sauce over them. Those were super tasty & great for sharing! We finished off with the chaufa Ponca which was amazing! I ordered the carajillo drink and I think I found my new favorite cocktail! Like an espresso martini but sweet and on the rocks. For dessert we had these little cream ice cubes with cinnamon, don't remember the name but they were really good and refreshing! Definitely recommend this place for its amazing menu (and menu style with everything pictured) and beautiful interior. read more

Went to Manta for the first time last weekend and it was great! I 100% recommend the pisco sour. It was tarte, sweet, and smooth. The Ceviche tacos were an absolute banger. so fresh, i have not had anything like those tacos! Lomo Saltado was delicious but not worth the price tag... Have had bigger portions at other places. All in all I would definitely come back. Not to mention our server was extremely knowledgeable and the service was fast and attentive. read more

So glad I stumbled upon Manta after a day at the beach! They have indoor and outdoor seating and the day I visited, the doors to outside were pulled backed so sitting at the bar felt like being outside and I loved the feels. Carlos was our bartender and he was on it! Very friendly and helpful in explaining certain items on the menu. I absolutely loved that each food and cocktail had a picture so you can see what it actually looks like and what we did order looked just like the pictures. I literally wanted to try one of everything. I know they say they are traditional Peruvian food but the dishes seem to have Japanese infusion which I love! I'm a sucker for anything octopus and their menu had several options to choose from. The octopus was cooked and seasoned well. I loved the oil based sauce on the ceviche - they did offer to make it in the traditional lime sauce but we wanted the oil and I'm glad I tried it! And lastly we had the pork belly which was a unique dish and the pork was very tender and delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more! read more

We found Manta by accident, just driving south on Federal Highway. Came in around 8:30pm on a Sat and sat at the bar. Service was a bit slow and the restaurant wasn't very busy, but everyone who worked there was very nice. We started with some cocktails (pineapple too sour, blue too sweet), but the food was amazing! Appetizer was tuna on mashed potato with avocado, delicious. Next we shared the salmon roll and chicken and rice. Both very very good! read more

Manta Peruvian Cuisine - Bar and outdoor patio - Seafood Near Me - Lighthouse Point, Florida

Mediocre at best. I tried it 3 times with hopes of improvement. Fellow Peruvian here and there is potential. Overpriced for low quality meat and seafood. Such a shame for a beautiful restaurant. A few tweaks and they could be much better. They also have bought some fae reviews on the local pompano FB page, lame. read more

New to the area this place has been open about 2 months now . There is one also located in Wynwood as well . I stopped by for a lunch while in the area to check it out Decor : The place is nice and offers inside seating . Plenty of bar seating . And outside dining options . I love the options for seating here . Eats : I was in the mood for ceviche which I came specifically for I tried out the classic ceviche . Pretty good but was extremely limed. I eat this often and it was more than the norm. I also tried the tacos which had a spin on it which was also pretty good . Comes with a lot of mayo FYI. Drinks : I tried the Margarita which was really good and priced at 15$z Staff: It wasn't busy while there but the staff still was very kind and attentive which was great. I sat at the bar read more

Like others have said, the atmosphere is nice and the staff on point. But the food and drinks are way over priced for what they are. Some of their dishes are not even Peruvian: Beef stroganoff with pasta carbonara and grilled shrimp WTH??!! I will stick to Sr. Ceviche up the road for traditional Peruvian food and value. read more

Our first trip with friends to Manta, a Peruvian experience was one worth the trip. The restaurant is both indoor and outdoor seating. It has that industrial look softened by three beautiful fish tanks. Huge bar area send well stocked. I enjoyed the Lomo Saltado, which is a tenderloin steak served with sauteed onions, steel tomatoes, French fries and rice. Cooked as ordered, it was delicious. My wife had the Mahi Mahi and loved it as dis my friend. Located in the Beacon Lighthouse shopping center, it was long awaited and, as it turns out, worth the wait. Also open for lunch. read more

The food was so good--everything tasted super fresh and well-made. We also tried some of their chicha morada and it was really refreshing, perfect for the vibe. While we were there, we noticed they have an amazing brunch selection that we're definitely coming back to try. Can't wait to return! read more

New Peruvian restaurant! Great service and atmosphere! Our waiter was extremely attentive and brought us fresh plates and silverware for our main course. Food was delicious and had an incredible presentation. For appetizers, we split the pork belly tapas which were incredible. For entrees, we had the duck dish (picture provided) and the stuffed pepper. Amazing flavors. The stuffed pepper was on the spicier side and a heartier meal. If I had to be picky, wish my duck was a hair less cooked, and the potatoes au gratin that came with the stuffed pepper was served warmer!! Overall, great experience and will definitely be returning. Can't wait to try more dishes. read more

Went last night with wife and a friend. Amazing seems to accurately describe everything here. Our server was Alexandra. Kind, knowledgeable of the menu, and genuinely caring of our experience. The Pisco Sours were top notch, the ceviche trio was amazing and the suspire dessert delicious. The atmosphere is nouveau chic. Just can't say enough about the vibe, food, and service. We will be back very soon. Oh, and great bar area! read more

We were there once and never again. The fish was spoiled so bad it smelled terrible and the bartender took the fish off my salad and thought I was going to eat it!! Only wanted to refund the price of fish. How do you eat a stinky salad?? No way ever again!! Should be no stars!! read more

Food is delicious, fresh, and unique. Would be 5 stars if it weren't for the horrible lights. The lighting is actually so incredibly bad it should be studied. read more

I must say. Great location. Good food, good cocktails. The service are on point because we were their first customers. Love the ambiance have the salt water fish tank. Full Bar and plenty TVs.

Settled in on the terrace for a Valentine's Day high tea. Instantly seated and drink orders taken. Ceviche appetizer then octopus and tuna entrees. Great music, not too loud. Server was attentive not intrusive. Espresso was the perfect finish. Reasonable prices, great food and service, fun terrace. Recommend and will be back to sample more of the menu read more

Visited Manta for a second time, this time with friends. Did not disappoint. The ambience, and feel of the place is contemporary. The food selection is tasty, and fresh. Classic Ceviches, rice, and even pasta dishes. Our server Stefano was great. Very helpful with ordering suggestions. Good guy. Actually, our first server Ricardo was the same. Prices are what you would expect for fresh seafood today. Pisco Sours are fantastic. Overall, all of us will be going back regularly. Our now 'go to" Peruvian . Enjoy. read more

I love everything about Manta. The food is delicious and fresh and presented so beautifully. The servers are polite, helpful in explaining the menu from cocktails thru dessert. The ambiance is modern and spotless. I have been several times and look forward to the next dining experience. read more

Honestly the food was delicious. My rub is they charge a 3% transaction fee to use a credit card. Ironically they bring the cc charge machine to you and of course say nothing about it. Sorry. I'm an entrepreneur too and cc transaction fees are a cost of doing business. Until that issue is rectified I won't be back. I hate to take it out of the servers pocket as that isn't fair. read more

Food and service were good, but prices were a bit ridiculous high. $25 for an appetizer and $35 for a main entree is too much for that place. Moreover, they automatically want you to tip 20-25% of check :/. Will not be going anytime soon. read more

Our experience at Manta was amazing. We tried a little bit of everything and were enchanted with each dish. First, the menu has pictures and easy guide with numbers matching so you can see what you'd like to order before it even arriving at the table. Second, the atmosphere was great. Really calm, open kitchen, good decor. Third, Clarissa was lovely. She recommended dishes to try, and the recommendations were on point! Also, she was pretty attentive, always checking how we were doing. I have to say that it may seem pricey for some people, but the quality and quantity of the dishes makes it worth it every dollar. Overall, experiencing Manta is a must if you're in the area. read more

Today we made our first visit to this restaurant and asked for traditional Peruvian food, such as ocopa, rocoto relleno and pesto pasta with breaded steak and all food was tasteless and filled with potatoes and roasted corn (canchita). It was very disappointing overall. I do not recommend this place. read more

was really looking forward to this place... didn't meet expectations. service was good. food... meh... rice was undercooked, food not much flavor and small portions. worse part they keep the water pitchers next to the fish tank, there is a smell from the fish tank that you could smell when you got a glass of water. read more

Don't listen to the negative reviews. The vibe is awesome. Ricardo's service was outstanding. If you're familiar with authentic Peruvian cuisine, this place is fantastic. The food quality was outstanding, fish was fresh and our ceviche was spicy just like we like it. Definitely coming back again and bringing friends and family. Make sure to check the new gem in LHP. read more

The food was soooo delish. Stefano was very attentive and polite. Will be back... for sure!!!!!

Went to the new restaurant and was very impressed. The food was delicious and presented very well. My server Clarissa was excellent. All the staff was excellent. My husband is Peruvian and we eat at Peruvian restaurants a lot. Manta, so far was the best Peruvian food I've had. I ordered fettuccine à la huancaina with mahi-mahi. It was delicious. My husband had Lomo Saltado. Again, Clarissa was amazing as a server. We will definitely be going there a lot. read more

This food was amazing. We had our 3-year-old with us and they sat us right by the huge fish tanks, so he was entertained. Just a note that they don't have booster seats, but there are high chairs. He has fettuccine with bacon and he loved it. Our food was just so great. It was inventive and delicious. Highly recommend. Clarissa, our waitress, was amazing. read more

No vegetarian options. They only have 1 salad option that has either tuna or salmon. I had them leave off the seafood and asked for only a salad and they still charged the same $29 and they added some avocado. Salad was terrible, so was dressing. Very expensive and we would never go back. Modern atmosphere though. read more
