We’ve been here a few times. Cocktails are good. Some food dishes better than others. Chicken tonight was wayyy too buttery, needed some acid. Staff is friendly but if you’re there on an off night later, they constantly hang out in the “friends corner” at the bar by the patio exit. The last two times we’ve been here, we had to wait 20 minutes to get noticed to get the check while the staff chat with friends or staff in the corner. I don’t think I ever saw a manager or owner the 3 times I’ve been here. For the price you pay, service should be more astute.

The ambiance was amazing. Waitress was very nice but service was super slow. Drinks were amazing. Had wine and watermelon cosmo. Food was awful! Four of us had filets at different temps and they all came out the same. Dry and insanely salty. Entire meal was salty.

So my calamari was so salty I literally drank a glass of water and then some to counter act the salt. Sauce was great a different turn on the dish. But I couldn't finish it. Just too much salt. The puttanesca, where to start. The shrimp were purple, from the wine I guess. The pasta was a perfect Al dente. I'm an Italian trained chef and it was ok. Spice was point on and I'm glad I asked for no salt in dish. Anchovies and capers have the salt needed for any dish plus sauce and salted water for pasta. Overall, it was okay. Would I spend my money there because I don't have to cook maybe. Look at this review from another chef.

Dropped in with a party of 6. Bar and atmosphere are top notch. The hall monitor server had no patience for orders and reported us to the manager. We were the only table upstairs and not rowdy. I want to go back, but only if we sit with another server.

We planned an evening to catch up with friends. The bar was lovely and I can’t say enough about the homemade blue cheese (Roquefort) stuffed olives in a FANTASTIC martini. BUT, if you are staying for dinner, beware of Debbie. This server hears ALL of your conversation and reports to the manager. Super rude, Debbie. We came for dinner and drinks and instead received an uncalled for visit from the manager, along with the bill.

Compared to Salar, Manna’s food is so disappointing. Pisco Sour wasn’t good, empanada had no flavor, main courses were underwhelming. The saltado roll appetizer was the best thing about the meal, I’d definitely eat that again. For the price and the experience, probably wouldn’t choose to go back to this restaurant.

Loved the atmosphere and the story behind the restaurant. Our server was great and the food was delicious. I can’t wait to bring my husband back. Thank you Raven for recommending Manna to us. ~AF gym girls
My food was really salty. However the scallop appetizer with mashed parsnips was out of this world. My friend ordered that.

It was a special tea event! The tea sandwiches and the mini desserts were delicious. I wish that they had brought the tea out before the food but all in all it was a good experience!
