What a great place. Our server Liz was so friendly and provided excellent service. I ordered the pork chop and it was massive!!! Every bite was delicious as the first. Will definitely recommend.

First timer, walked into restaurant with a wonderful greeting. The shrimp ane calamari appetizers were amazing. Did not enjoy my Entrée especially the Mac and cheese. It was too soupy. Asked for another one and the same type of soupy consistency was delivered. Dessert was meant to have a good presentation but toppled over before arriving at the table but was still served to me.

Not too bad of an experience but assumed it'd be better

The food was great, the service though was EXCELLENT. Manoli was one of the greatest servers me and my mother ever had in our dining experience. We will be back and we will ask for Manoli again.
