Great fish selection. Salmon, flounder and flet mignon! Very professional service. Nice wine list. Exceptional apple tart dessert.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with dinner at El Manantial. It exceeded our expectations in every way! We had reservations, and upon our arrival we were greeted by the owner, Mr. Humberto. Our server, Mr. Helio, was perfectly attentive, but not hovering or overly entertaining.

We hadn't been here in awhile, but just returned and found their dinner to be excellent. My wife tried the softshell crab, and it was remarkable. I had baramundi and was very pleased.
