The food was horrible! The halibut entre was extremely underwhelming, unpleasant and unflavoured. Overpriced just because

Of course, food is amazing!! But, Bartender, Kevin, was an all star. Should be at a Michelin star restaurant/ bar. Some of the best service we’ve ever had. He anticipated all of our needs/wants in advance. Had fantastic recommendations. We dine at best restaurants in the world frequently.

What an amazing experience. The food is both creative and delicious. The atmosphere was so refreshing and the service was amazing. An experience I’ll soon want to relive. 10/10

Had to come back because of their squash pasta, the food is just wonderful. Love the vibe too, beautiful Art on every wall. The service was amazing too, very patient with me asking lots of questions and helpful with choosing something that I’m going to like. Will come back. (and then again)

I had an amazing time dining at Manuela! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented.
Molly's service was just as impressive. She’s friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the service, but this one does it perfectly.

Manuela in SoHo, NYC, blends art, design, and cuisine into a distinctive dining experience that feels more like eating in a gallery than a restaurant. The space is visually stunning, filled with contemporary art and creative details, while the menu focuses on seasonal, locally sourced dishes like their standout cream biscuits with country ham and Steen’s butter. Service is generally attentive and friendly, and the vibe is stylish yet comfortable. While some dishes can be hit or miss for the price and the scene may feel a bit showy for those seeking a quiet meal, Manuela remains a great pick for a special occasion or anyone who appreciates food served with creativity and flair.

Manuela is a dining experience unlike any other in NYC. While enjoying a stellar meal, I got to see and learn about incredible contemporary art - including the very table I sat at! Hospitable and well informed service. I ate biscuits, crudo, duck confit, chicories and homemade rum raisin ice cream. All were delicious. Crudo was my favorite - subtle yet exciting flavor combination with salsa verde and pickled chanterelles!
Lots of promise - lovely happy hour drinks, great oysters, and very cool artwork. Unfortunately, service was truly poor.

Terrible experience with our server, if you hate your job that much just quit. Wife will never be trusted again for reservations.

I really wanted to like this place, but we were pretty much neglected the entire time. It took about 20 minutes just to get our order taken, and when the waiter finally came, he was a bit rude and seemed disgruntled. After that, no one ever came back to check on us—not even to offer dessert or bring the check. We eventually had to flag someone down just to pay. The appetizers were great, but the mains (burger and steak) were pretty underwhelming. Pretty disappointed overall.

Stopped in for a bite to eat with 2 friends. The server was rude and dismissive. Took forever to get our food. Ordered 10 oysters that never came. We never saw the waiter again and never checked on us. The couple across from us were so upset with the service as well. Asked for the manager twice and the waiter stalled. We waited 20 minutes finally we spoke to the maitre and he gave us a card with his name on it and invited us back. Really bad experience. Save your money and your time
