The pork chop was done to perfection. The fried calamari was very good too

Last weekend at the last minute, we decided upon an impromptu dinner party for a family member visiting from out of town. We were a party of 18 and had some specific requests, ie. food allergies, children’s menu, semi-private space. The manager could not have been any more accommodating. The food, menu selections and service were excellent! Several members of our party had never visited Manera’s before, and I’m sure they’ll return now!

On my first visit to Manera’s, I wondered how I had missed this gem, despite dining in the area innumerable times. The dishes are hearty and thoughtful, and in many cases likely to succeed your expectation it did mine.

For example, I am quite picky about my Caesar salad and in fact I keep a list of places I will say yes or no to for the salad.

At Manera’s the Caesar is a resounding yes because, for one, the dressing is replete with anchovies, and, for just two dollars more, you can get a bunch of them thrown on top of the salad. Their Ceaser is zesty, and cheesy and everything you want in a Caesar salad.

You can bring your own bottle or water from the restaurant. We favor BYOB because obviously you get to choose what you like and add a good price.

We love the seafood tower, even if we thought it could be a little hardier. Nonetheless fantastic when you consider the tuna tartare included in it.

The halibut you see in the photo was a special item and representative of the many good specials that were on that menu.

The atmosphere is bubbly. We were there at 6 PM and the place was full, evidence of the sort of demographic that goes there. The acoustics are a little on the loud side, probably because of the type of floorinf and such, but the sound level provides energy to make the evening better.

While the restaurant is a little loud because of their high ceilings and the menu is heavy on seafood, the food was solid, the portions were good and the service was attentive.

Service was lovely, food was delicious (I ordered the fried seafood combo and my husband ordered the honey sriracha chicken sandwich), and general manager Anthony is always a delight!

I had such a wonderful experience at Maneras thanks to my host, Laura. She was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. Her kindness and professionalism really stood out and made me feel right at home. Thank you, Laura, for making my visit so enjoyable—I’ll definitely be coming back!

We attended a bridal shower here. The staff is professional. The food is very good. I’m a vegetarian and so much food. Really good. I’d highly recommend them.

The appetizers were great especially the crab cake and crab and avocado cocktail! The entrees were pretty good as well I got the Manera’d shrimp and rack of lamb. I’d definitely recommend the appetizers.

IF THIS RESTAURANT COULD RECEIVE 6 STARS RATHER THAN 5, I WOULD BE GLAD TO GIVE MANERA'S, THIS HONOR. I HAVE DINED HERE MANY TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. COMING FROM NORTHERN N J WHERE THERE ARE MANY GASTRONOMIC DELIGHTS IN DINING, THIS RESTAURANT FITS RIGHT IN! THE FOOD IS TRULY GREAT, THE DECOR AND SEEVICE DARN GOOD. THE PRICES ARE BEYOND FAIR. IT'S A DARN GOOD RESTAURANT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NEW CHEF HAS MICHELIN TALENT! HIS ENGLISH PEA SOUP WITH MINT WAS EXTRODINARY. AT LUNCH, THE HAMBURGERS ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD!
THE STAFF ACCOMODATES EVERY NEED. LLOYD, ISVWHAT

I’m an out of towner coming to the beach a couple of days. My BF and I wanted a nice sit down Saturday dinner and found this place on Google. We had a 7:30 reservation and were seated immediately. The star of the show was our waiter Lloyd. He was absolutely incredible, attentive, and very hospitable. We had calamari, bread and salad in the course of our entree coming. I had food on the table the entire time that I hadn’t realized our entrees had taken a while to come. The manager apologized and offered us a dessert on the house (which showed us how much they cared). When our food came it was delicious and we had a great dinner. If you’re looking for a great dinner with great service come to Manera’s. You won’t be disappointed!

Wow — I truly can’t say enough about the exceptional staff and management at Manera’s in Brick. If you’re even considering dining here or hosting an event, stop thinking and just do it. You will not regret it!

My husband and I first discovered Manera’s a few months ago when we came in to celebrate his birthday. The experience was outstanding — from the warm, attentive service to the beautifully prepared, delicious food, everything exceeded our expectations. We left that night already planning our next visit.

So when it came time to choose a venue for my baby shower, Manera’s was at the top of my list — and after comparing multiple places, it was clear that nothing else came close. Not only were the event packages the most reasonably priced, but unlike many other venues, there were no surprise fees or hidden charges. Everything was upfront, honest, and transparent.

From my very first inquiry to the final minutes of packing up after the party, the entire process was effortless, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable — which is no small feat when you’re planning a big event! A huge shout-out to Eric and Anthony, who went above and beyond at every turn to accommodate our every need. Their professionalism, kindness, and flexibility made all the difference.
And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. My guests haven’t stopped raving about it — and let’s be honest, that’s always the part people remember most at any party. Manera’s truly delivered on every level.

We had an amazing time, and I’m already looking forward to planning our next celebration here. Thank you again to the entire team for making my baby shower so special — you turned what could have been a stressful day into a joyful, seamless experience. Highly, highly recommend!

My husband and I went there for our anniversary. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The waiter was very attentive. He even offered a complimentary soup as he felt our food was delayed. The food was delicious! We will definitely be back!
