We started with the bread and butter, and the honey butter was absolutely amazing. It had that delicious, homemade quality that made it the star of the dish. While the bread itself could use a little improvement, the honey butter was so good that it elevated everything. I can only imagine how incredible it would be paired with some warm, freshly baked sourdough rolls or another quality sourdough bread — that combination would be truly outstanding!

Great cocktails and innovative food. Lovely date night spot.
Their team is outstanding and their passion is obvious. The meal was the best I've had in years and the cocktails were delightful. We enjoyed the tuna tartare, broccolini, pork skirt steak, and the creme brulee. Looking forward to revisiting for the frites, caesar salad, and lamb. Dine at Mane!
