Booking experience was a little difficult but we got there in the end. Service was good. The ambiance and fit out of the restaurant was top draw. Really nice. Food was excellent.

Nous avions réservé pour 4 adultes, 4 ados et des jumelles de 2 ans. Nous avons été très bien accueillis, 2 chaises hautes étaient prêtes. Toute l’équipe a le sourire, le serveur vraiment top. Le cadre est magnifique, les plats vraiment excellents. Nous nous sommes régalés et avons passé une excellente soirée. Seul petit bémol, il n’y a pas de table à langer dans les toilettes femmes et personne ne m’a proposé de solution. Mais j’aurais pu demander, je n’ai pas osé. J’ai changé les bébés au sol. Merci à tous, nous reviendrions avec plaisir dans votre établissement à l’occasion d’un nouveau séjour londonien, bonne continuation. La famille Gaillard

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.

Absolutely loved the oyster happy hour and fizz / cocktails. We stayed for a second round of oysters. Will certainly return - thank you

Great service and ambiance. Had a lovely lunch, the burrata and lobster linguine were delicious. Would definitely visit again.

Fantastic Experience! We loved our family lunch at this hidden gem in Soho. Don't be put off that this gorgeous restaurant is tucked away down an alleyway - once inside the space is opulently decorated with unbelievable attention to detail (crab salt & pepper shakers and mermaid door handles being a few). It has the feeling of a luxury cruise liner - in a good way! The service is impeccable and the food was delicious. I can recommend the lobster roll served with perfectly crispy fries and the sharing portion of tiramisu - delicious! They also have several set menu options which offer incredible value, so I will be returning again very soon to test these out. If you are looking for the right balance of excellent service, quality food in a beautiful environment, I would highly recommend a visit to Manzi's!

This place is style over substance- perfect for insta pics but not much more. The starters of sardine bruschetta came with great fish but soggy tomato-topped ‘toast’ underneath. The bouillabaisse was a tragic example - small samples of seafood swam in a very strange light brown sauce. Oysters were fresh and tasty, (no cooking involved, obviously) but when the highlight of the meal is the baguette and salted butter, you need to be a bit concerned. There was a strangely quiet lady DJ in one corner and a bored-looking saxophonist joined her for a bit but spent most of the time talking to staff. This is a bit of a tourist trap, eurotrash type place. Downstairs was completely empty and upstairs maybe a third full on a Saturday night. When there are so many fabulous places to eat in London, I’d give this one a miss.

Lovely room bit kitsch but works..service excellent, prices aren't ridicuous but have to say food quality wasn't all there, it was good but not excellent. I would probably try again but stick to the fixed price menus, as I'm not sure the a la carte with a decent bottle of wine justified the £100 per head cost

Loved the decor- starters and main courses wonderful- desserts very boring- service excellent- entry passageway quite frightening and dirty. Needs just a little more effort to make this First Class

I have to say that I was so excited to be going to the new site of 'MANZI'S' for my husband's birthday as we like to do a special meal in a special restaurant... very sadly the only thing special was the decor, the smartly dressed crew/staff were all over the place seemingly not knowing what to do and there were a lot of them, but the service did not come together for our meal. The food sounded delicious on the menu but on arrival was lackluster my 'Aromatic muscles were cooked and nice size but not aromatic! the clam chowder was greasy rather than creamy rich. none of our food impressed, sadly. As for the price it was expensive for what we experienced, I don't mind paying for great service and food by this left us VERY dissapointed and a bit ripped off.

It’s a restaurant in back roads of Soho , with a elegant decor , I must say menu was impressive, and the food was fantastic, three of us , shared few starters , all of them tested great , main I had was salmon which I found it a bit dry. It could of be better! Service was ok, I asked for a lime , but unfortunately did not get it, I suppose there forget about it 🤣 never mind… If I go back! Yes probably I would…

Second time we have eaten at this chain. Second time the service has been disappointing and overshadowed what would otherwise have been a nice meal. On this occasion it was the arrival of our main courses approximately 30 seconds after our starters were served that let things down. This was followed by a surreal conversation with the waitress about whether or not it was normal to expect to be served your starters first. We were then left with no acknowledgement that we were upset, none of the usual follow up questioning as to whether we were happy with our meal, no offering to take another drinks order, for about half an hour. After we had finished our starter/main combo course the waitress did offer us a free dessert but by that time the damage had been done. We will not be back.

A typical, excellent English type restaurant with good food, interesting decor and architecture in handy location at end of The Strand. Friendly waiter been there for years.
