About The Manhattan

The Manhattan is a fantastic restaurant with a warm atmosphere, delicious food, and creative cocktails. The chef offers an extensive range of innovative tapas, including changing specials, ensuring a variety that keeps guests coming back. The owners and GM are hands-on, ensuring smooth operations and happy guests. Live music, like jazz by the Schmidt Brothers, adds to the enjoyable experience without overwhelming conversation. The restaurant offers a more toned-down option in the main dining room, separate from the bar but still with music. The vibe of the restaurant is perfect for a relaxed night out, with friendly staff and a cozy environment. Visitors often enjoy the quick service and helpful suggestions, especially when choosing how many tapas to order for groups. The dessert platter showcasing all options is a highlight, along with dishes like mussels, Spanish paella, and escalivada. Tasty desserts such as flan and chocolate cheesecake complete the menu. The Southington Rye Manhattan is praised for its smoothness and enjoyment. Recent reviews highlight that this place surpasses other high-end restaurants in the area, with addictive cocktails and impeccable service. The lobster bisque is described as insane, packed with seafood, and the atmosphere is terrific. The staff, including Ronald and Yuri, are attentive and knowledgeable, making excellent wine recommendations and helping guests decide among a variety of tasty dishes. The restaurant is a smaller spot, but reservations ensure comfortable seating, even on busy nights. The food quality is comparable to New York standards, making it a true gem. Recent visitors enjoyed a date night with dishes like Grilled Eggplant with Gorgonzola Cheese and Rib Eye with fresh herb vinaigrette, along with a Coconut Mousse for dessert. Overall, The Manhattan continues to impress with its great food, drinks, and welcoming environment, making it a favorite neighborhood spot.
