Manzi's

Luxurious Decor Meets Delicious Seafood Haven

Tucked away in an intimate alleyway of Soho, Manzi's feels like a hidden gem rediscovered. Upon entering, the opulent marine-themed decor greets you with fanciful touches of art deco elegance—mermaid sculptures, ornate crab-shaped tableware, and even pearly oyster-inspired restrooms. This playfulness creates a jovial atmosphere that pays homage to the glamor of 1920s cruise liners, making the dining experience not just a meal but a voyage. Seating spans across two floors, each providing a unique flair; if you're after more vivacious surroundings, the mermaid bar upstairs is a delight worth exploring.

Nevertheless, the true star remains its impressive seafood repertoire, echoing the sentiments shared by many diners who have truly enjoyed their time here. The oysters, particularly during happy hour, are fresh and inviting, encouraging a second round among enthusiasts. The dishes display attention to quality and presentation, with particular favorites being the lobster rolls accompanied by crisp fries and the indulgent tiramisu for dessert. Attentiveness defines the service at Manzi’s, with staff balancing efficiency and friendliness seamlessly—perfectly encapsulating the blend of style and sincerity. While there remain reports about small portions and occasional service hiccups, overall, Manzi’s promises a certain charm that leaves you eager to return, whether it's before catching a West End show or simply savoring the sea's bounty. — Audrey Al Dente
