Another recommendation from a friend we really enjoyed this restaurant! Between the four of us we thought the avocado risotto was the highlight (even for one of us who doesnt like avocado!). The other 3 dishes we ordered were the Sea Bass and the Crab cake - which were all great dishes. The highlight drinkwise would have to be the... More

This restaurant was the only place we went to twice on our family vacation. My parents went for their anniversary and had such a nice meal that they wanted to come back the next night! I had a thanksgiving sampler that was delicious! Service as really good, and the food was all top notch.

Prompt seating, good service, nice restaurant but sitting outside you get to listen to the highway noise. Food was good, not great. Food overpriced, again US prices for food that is ok but nothing special. 140 pesos ($11.50us) for a goat cheese salad, 140 pesos for bowl of soup, 290 pesos ($24.00) for crab cake entree that was just OK,...

We decided to try Manuel's because of the other reviews on Trip advisor and we were not disappointed. My husband had the "tasting menu" which was a sample of one of almost everything on the menu. The waiter said it was small portions, but there were so many different items it added up to a huge portion of food. Each... More

Manuel's is a great place to celebrate a special occasion - we've also been to Nick-San and would hands down recommend Manuel's first. We made reservations ahead of time for our anniversary dinner and were pleasantly surprised to find an nice secluded corner table decorated with rose petals awaiting our arrival. In general we thought the decor overall was nice... More

Asked our concierge about nice place to eat, and she recommended Manuel's. What a great recommendation. Manuel's is probably one of the best restaurants I have been to, period. Salvador our waiter was an absolute professional. He made the night as special as food did. Everything from tasty mojitos with decorative"sun" lime garnishes to the duck emphasis, to our unbelievable... More

We've just been to Manuel's for the third time in two years. The food and service is excellent as always - Salvador is there making the evening very festive! We've tried just about everything on the menu but the beef skewers, coffee pork and lobster lasagna never disappoint. I tried the crab cake this time and it was amazing. The... More

We have been to San Jose del Cabo many times and always look for new places to dine. We went to Manuels with friends and had an incredible evening of dining. The service is second to none and the food was truly exquisite. A very nice location and easy to get to with a quick taxi ride from resort row.... More

We had a very pleasant dinner at Manuels. We did the tasting menu and they were very accommodating about changes. All the food was nicely presented and tasty -- but nothing was particularly special. They give the impression of being a really sophisticated restaurant but the food was just good. I think I enjoyed other restaurants they just did good... More
