Our Reviews

Had our sons 21st party at the Elliot’s bar. Great venue for this age group as completely separate from rest of hotel. Generous amount of food and the staff were amazing and the party organisation was a breeze as all done for you so could just relax and enjoy the party with our guests. Highly recommend.

The Manhattan Hotel in Ringwood offers incredible value smorgasbord lunch for Seniors for an extremely reasonable $15 per head which includes a $2 venue voucher. Now THAT I call a value for money.

The management of this modern hotel should be congratulated for looking after this ever growing segment of Australian population. It also makes economic sense because the place is full of seniors who enjoy the modern decor and, in particular, a wide selection of good quality smorgasbord dishes. On offer are calamari, fish, pizza, roast, pork, various Chinese meals, beautiful potatoes, mussels, and many other tasty dishes. Included is a wide selection of deserts, ice cream, fruit and salads. Perhaps the only dish I would stay away from would be the fish which I suspect is the Basa fish probably sourced from Vietnam. Apart from that, go for it!

The voucher may be used towards the purchase of drinks.

This being a smorgasbord allowes you to have as many helpings as you wish.

The staff are very friendly and helpful indeed.

As the venue is fully carpeted, it is not particularly noisy and you can easily hold a meaningful conversation.

There is plenty of parking and should you be silly enough you may spend a fortune on poker machines next door.

This is a typical Australian pub venue. Clean and friendly.

These days you have to search hard to find an eating place which would offer value for money. The price of food is ever increasing and it is thus commendable to see the Manhattan Hotel doing the right thing.

The Senior's Lunches are available from Monday to Friday.

As these lunches are for obvious reason very popular, it is advisable to book.

In addition to these spectacular lunches they also run Seafood dinners which cost Seniors a very reasonable $24. One may find further information on these on the Hotel's web site.

I do not allocate five stars to anyone lightly. But in this case five stars are fully deserved.

So, congratulations to the management for the job well done!!

Recently went with a group of friends while visiting Melbourne.

Expected usual average buffet and was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of this buffet. The range of cuisines was huge, for a fussy eater like myself I was overwhelmed by the choices and quality. There is everything from roasts, seafood, cold selections, Chinese, Thai, etc. The deserts are equally impressive along with the cheeses and salads.

The staff are quick, efficient and friendly.

Value for money? Excellent.

I have been attending this venue for the last three months. I have predominately used the sports bar at the rear of the venue. There is ample area for drinking, punting and watching all types of sports. There is a full tab services as well as EBT machines and keno. They have plenty of helpful staff who make the experience. I have eaten the Parma / pot meal deal for $10 which is good value. Only problem is that the outside area which is essentially the beer garden is a smoking area. This means plenty of smokers and you can’t eat out there. Other than that the place has over 28 nights and special drink deals. Plenty of parking at the rear. I know there are pokies at the front of the venue and bistro dining. Can’t comment on the food.

Went to The Manhattan Hotel for my farewell dinner, after holidaying with a local friend for a few weeks.

Really liked the selection choices at the buffet bar, and also the dessert and soup/pasta bars. The whole area was a buzz with families chatting and laughing.

Would recommend this Hotel to everyone planning a family get together, and would certainly eat there again. .

Visited hotel today with friends. Ate in restaurant with an exceptionally good buffet choice of both hot and cold foods, even a special section for kids to choose from. Salads, Asian food, casseroles, roasts, good selection of both hot and cold desserts. Seniors $17 with a $2 venue voucher given to each person.

Main foyer area very spacious, ideal for waiting if meeting up with friends. Large gaming room on premises.

This is a buffet style restaurant which are few and far between these days. There is a good variety, a carvery, pasta, pizza, a taco stand, soups, salads and desserts. My favourite was the bread and butter pudding and a custard vat! Not enough places offer that!! haha I love my bread and butter pudding and this one was especially delicious. I would take my family back here again but at $28 per head for adults and $15 for kids you feel a bit of pressure to eat a lot to make it worthwhile.

I took my brother here because our usual place was closed and we were very impressed. Without being asked, the staff helpfully found a table with easy access for my brother who has difficulty getting around. All dishes we tried were delicious. There were so many choices that we will go again soon to try some of the many things that we didn't have room for this time. And the price for Seniors is exceptionally good value.

Kicking things off I have to say that I am not a buffet person. It's not my thing.

So how did we end up having a buffet dinner? My twin bro and I have been checking every club, pub and tavern within around 10 or so clicks from our homes specifically in the pursuit of the best possible Senior's meal. We're 60 and proud of it!

Anyways we'd not tried the Manhattan, a place I had not visited for a long 43 years. Obviously things had changed - a lot! What's more, when entering the bistro we were greeted with the distinction of them offering strictly buffet meals.

Okay, why not. Given the price was $18 per head (seniors) we had to give it a shot. And man were we pleased that we did.

The strange thing we noticed was a lack of customers, we simply couldn't understand why. Perhaps we arrived a little late. Never mind, we indulged in an array of food (way more than we should have if the truth be known) and I have to admit that we loved every dish. The carvery was great, the Asian section terrific, and so it goes.

Frankly, we were both blown away. So much so that it looks like we may stop our search and simply eat at the Manhattan!

My daughter and son in law took me to the Manhattan for a fathers day dinner, and it was fantastic, due to being fathers day it was very busy, but the management had put on seafood for all the customers and it was great, prawns, oysters, mussels, calamari, plus all the regular food like roasts, pizza etc, the staff were run off their feet, but everyone in my group had a wonderful time 10/10

Our family including in laws and grandchildren had smorgasbord lunch on Fathers Day, what an inexpensive get together, although we don't live nearby some did and a good time was had by all. Even the grandparents with not many teeth left found something to eat easily and enjoy- great range to choose from for even the fussy eaters
