Aslin is the best server ever!
Fantastic food, unbeatable atmosphere.
I can't even recall how many times I've given this place rave reviews. And it never disappoints!

You are well cared for at Manhattan of La Jolla. Nancy and staff treat you as if you are family they are happy to see again. Piano bar volume is just right and pleasantly entertaining. Baked ziti was out of this world. Penne pommodoro was a little watered down (probably too much pasta water before saucing) otherwise it would have been 5 stars. We will definitely be back again.

It has been quite some time since I last ate at Manhattan but I'm happy to say that the experience was very good. The food was on time, the NY Steak I had was delicious and the hostess was charming at every step of the way. We were seated at a booth where we could still hear the live music but were given enough cover to have a pleasant conversation. Sadly, we weren't able to have a taste of the desserts. But that just means a reason to go back to it.
