Restaurant Manx

Apparently Manx don't do many weddings. Well you could have fooled me. For us it was our second wedding so we decided on a small boutique ceremony and reception. We wanted an all in one venue that offered exceptional service, high class meals and a great location. Manx delivered, nothing was too much trouble or over looked. Not one plate had food left on it as our guests were able to choose their own dish from the menu, all cooked to perfection by the excellent chef, the manager was happy for us to take as much time as we wanted, the staff were friendly and so polite. I highly recommend Manx.

HIGH TEA HORROR

I came with my partner today to celebrate a special occasion with your High Tea.

Once rated "my favourite restaurant", our Manx experience last night was appalling. The 'rack of veal' ( outstandingly priced @ $42!!!!) was served raw! It is difficult to tell what it tasted like as it was impossible to 'saw' it off the huge bone to which it was attached!!! (Presentation - great if you were a Great Dane) I have never had such a sinewy piece of meat in my whole life. My friend ordered and experienced the same thing. When asked "How were your meals, ladies?" we replied that the chef should be advised the veal is a 'tough as boots'. "Oh I am sorry to hear that." That was it - they were very happy to proceed with both offering us the dessert menu and charging us for the 'meals'!!!! Very tacky to say the least. Nothing will entice me to return - I feel 'ripped off'. I still have a sour taste in my mouth - so much so that I felt compelled to write my first restaurant review!!! PS: 4 tiny sea scallops as entree cost me $28.00!!!! AAAH - actually started feeling 'ripped off' @ that ...read more

Fantastic experience at Manx yet again! Have dined here a number of times and just keeps getting better!
Food was sensational Entree of Duck and Serrano Ham simply too good to be true, Love Love Loved it! Mains can recommend the Rabbit leg certainly had my tastbuds buzzing! Save room for dessert as this is a must with the tantalizing menu - hardest part is what to choose, the Dark Chocolate parfait was awesome. Maybe Manx could do some tasting plates for dessert as they all sound so lovely, I didn't ask, but perhaps they could. Will be sure to ask next time I am there.
Overall - TOP NIGHT HAD by me and my dinner guests.
Service - Smashing!
Another thing the design / look of the restaurant is so amazing fresh and funky. LOVE IT!

All restaurants around Portside are great. Manx is a great experience. The menu selection is broad and there is something to cater for everyone's taste. A little pricy but I had a wonderful day out there.
