Always good. It's just always good. Great environment, relaxed but it you want to be fancy you'll still fit right in. Good service, great drinks, good food. Superb people watching. Everyone's preferred first date spot. If you arrive early you can visit the garden and say hello to the chickensParking is always the worst so be prepared to pay to park whether you park in a lot or valet just be aware that the valets are going to park your car on the street same as everyone else ?I wish they were open in the morning for coffee, even if it was just a little cart with simple coffee and pastries only.Parking: Parking is always the worst so be prepared to pay to park whether you park in a lot or valet just be aware that the valets are going to park your car on the street same as everyone else ?Everywhere in the vicinity is like that, the curse of a cool neighborhood. And also the city rezoned the parking and reduced the numbers of spots to maybe 1/2 or 1/3 of what there was and made huge unnecessary red zones everywhere, but that's another story ?☕

What a gorgeous place to have lunch/brunch. Vibe's chill and food was amazing!Food/Drinks: Food was delicious. Our server recommended the cream biscuits to start, and her suggestion was on point. Best flaky bread I've ever had! I personally ended up having their venison burger, and it has earned being one of their most popular dish for a reason. It was recommended medium rare and it was super juicy. However, the best dish we had was the shared roasted cauliflower dish. It was seasoned amazingly well and I highly would recommend this as your filler!Service/Ambiance: Top notch. Server was really knowledgeable on immediately started recommending dishes. Throughout our entire meal, other staff members would come by and clear our dishes as we finish them and provided new utensils. Huge plus. And obviously cannot disregard the views/ambiance! Outdoorsy feel and not chilly since they had heaters on.Rating: 10/10Recommendations: Roasted cauliflower, cream biscuits!

I came to Manuela as my first solo date living back in Los Angeles. I was so impressed by the barbecue oysters and the sea bass. Raw oysters and burrata salad were also delicious. And I highly recommend the shroom chocolate for dessert! I forgot to ask, but would love to know if that’s a atmospheric map of some day in LA? I’m a geographer and love love love maps.

Parking was a little tricky on a Sunday afternoon and valet now maxes out at $18, but after that things got a lot better. Manuela is a really nice space: open and airy, busy but not too noisy for a group conversation, stylish but not exclusive.The menu was varied, with some support for vegetarians, and everything we ordered tasted great. Dessert service was a bit slow and no sugar/sweetener was offered with coffee but otherwise service was well-timed and friendly.Manuela sneaks a surcharge onto the bottom of the menu, instead of just charging what it takes to pay their staff. Not so classy.

We loved it! Lily took good care of us! Seating request was honored and the service was wonderful. It was my friend's first time here and she wants to return when she visits again. I was pleased to have the choice of inside or outside seating. Thanks all! And happy birthday to me!
Beautiful place located in the Arts District of DTLA with great food and lovely ambiance. Stopped by with a friend for dinner while visiting and I'm so glad we did. Here are some takeaways:EnvironmentWhen you first walk in you get a very rustic artsy and airy vibe. The restaurant is located in a type of art plaza. It's unique because most of the space is outside with a bar located on the inside. A bunch of greenery that adds to the aesthetic. It's simply beautiful. Great for date nights, happy hours, or just a nice meal. I would go back just to be in the space and have a drink.ServiceOur server was great, friendly and very helpful with discussing with us items on the menu. and knowledgeable.Food and drinksWhat can I say the food was great. The cream biscuits and ham were delightful. The roasted duck breast was soo tasty especially with the tangerines. I enjoyed everything. Delicious. Next time I'm back in DTLA this is a go to spot.OverallBeautiful space, great ambiance and even better food. Will definitely be back
