My husband and I recently received a gift certificate for Manka's. While we love good food, we don't like overpriced lodging, so we booked a room at the Golden Hind just down the road. We had read the reviews here, and we were a little worried. If anyone was going to be treated dismissively it was us, two apparent cheapskates with a gift certificate, right?
Wrong, From the moment we walked in the door, the entire staff were lovely. We wanted to sit at a different table -- no problem. We said that we had a gift certificate -- no problem. Everyone was extremely attentive (yet unobtrusive), and there was no b.s.
We never felt patronized or rushed. And the food was superb. I can still taste everything. It was one of the loveliest meals either we have ever had.
Pros: Food, Service, Food
Cons: Overpriced lodging
