Top notch dining experience. The service and food is impeccable. Cocktails are elevated, changing menu is inventive, and no expense spares in the details. Never miss an opportunity to try one their sorbets, I’ve had many, and the watermelon is a delight for the senses. The chilled spoon for dessert sent me over the edge!
Well done! I’d give 7 Stars if I could!

Limited selections on menu. Upscale dinning. Menu changes daily. They don't offer changes of selections on menu. A bit over priced.

Loved it! From start to finish what a great experience. We were there for their special event, beggars can't be choosers. We tried the 5 course menu and the beef tenderloin. The star were their oysters with the onion sorbet. How unique and fun and some of the best I've had! Loved the uniqueness of the dishes including the Cesar salad that was made of cabbage. The beef tenderloin was the most tender meat I have ever had. Will definitely return!

This is the best restaurant in Wilmington, NC. This place has received the 4 Diamond rating from AAA for the last decade. The food was amazing!! The bartender Fred was amazing and he self curated everything on the drink menu, he even made his own Negroni that was absolutely perfect!! I highly recommend this place!!!

My family and I dined in on Tuesday to celebrate a birthday, and this was by far the best restaurant experience we have had in Wilmington since moving here a year ago. Ian was our server, he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Especially helpful in regards to my indecisiveness because there were just too many great options on the menu, we wanted to try them all! We are not wine drinkers but his suggestions for cocktails were perfect for us and our meals. The whole staff seemed very welcoming and the environment was perfect to celebrate.

What an amazing food experience! Highly recommend. Started with the oysters....amazing! Decided to stay with small plates and had the best spaghetti of my life. Simple....but absolutely the most delicious meal I've had in my life. Service was wonderful as well!

Nice relaxed vibe. Tried a selection of 5 small plates between two. All were very tasty and good quality, and the waitress guided us well on getting the right amount.
Kid-friendliness: Not a kids vibe.

Manna never disappoints. Probably the best flounder I’ve ever eaten! Amazing drinks, great atmosphere, and superb service - all five star! Definitely recommend and will absolutely return!

This is one of the best meals we have ever had. Beautiful restaurant and the wait staff was superb. Each dish we had was fresh, perfectly cooked and included unique sides that seemed kind of strange when you read the menu but tasted amazing. This is probably the best chicken we have ever had. We had an heirloom salad with salted cucumbers, the whole fish, the pasta, Several desserts and the amazing bread. Highly recommend. This is a true fine dining experience.
Vegetarian options: There are a few salads, But there was no Main course that was vegetarian. I would ask at reservation as I’m sure they have a menu or choices that reflect just veggie.
Dietary restrictions: I don’t eat fish and put it in the reservation when they ask you and they came back after we ordered something and said it contained fish sauce and did I still want it? They take restrictions very seriously but make sure you mention it on the reservation page when they ask so they can plan accordingly.
Parking: There is street parking right in front and a lot right next door. Both are metered.
Kid-friendliness: I would say no children under 10 and no child that can’t behave. This isn’t the place to have your kid run around or sit on an iPad during dinner.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is a steep ramp with a large lip on the front door. They are very helpful with navigating it.
Love Manna. My first visit. Shared three appetizers between the two of us. So fresh and delicious. I will definitely visit again.

Let me start off by saying WOW; Manna was such an INCREDIBLE experience! The quality of service matched every ounce of the quality of the food! We thoroughly enjoyed having Stephanie as our waitress, she’s the best waitress I’ve ever had, amazing knowledge about the food, very personable and fun too…She even walked us to their speakeasy up the street to make sure we found it after dinner! Alden the sommelier is just as wonderful, we loved her selections and knowledge she shared with us about wine! They both truly made the experience all the more amazing! Now let’s talk about the food, delicious doesn’t say enough!!! We all thoroughly loved the quality and creative blends of the flavors! We chose the creamed corn, shishito peppers, and fruit salad as our apps! We had the chicken, steak, and fish as our main entrees! For dessert the upside down peach cake really impressed us and the ganache was l rich and full of creative flavors! The Meghan Markle Sparkle was my favorite cocktail they made but the espresso martini did not disappoint either! My best friend has celiacs and the kitchen as well as Stephanie did a great job on what selections she could eat and it was awesome that the majority of the menu was gluten free! Again it was overall an outstanding experience, we will be back! Thank you!

We had a fantastic experience last night at Manna to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Of all the items we had, the wild mushroom toast (sounds weird, but was a savory spectacle) was the best. At the end of the meal, they gave us some house made basil-cello (pictured) as a celebratory treat. Highly recommend.

Disclaimer…I’m at not there but my kid is celebrating his birthday right now with his girlfriend. He is sending amazing food picks. It looks amazing and he is so excited. If you see this before he is done can you give him a special dessert? I miss him and I’m sad I couldn’t enjoy this restaurant with his amazing company!
He has long dreads and his girlfriend is wearing a green shirt with a sweater (creame colored.)
