Manuscript is a unique dining experience that offers a distinct atmosphere with a blend of literary and pop culture references. The restaurant serves a range of dishes, including the popular pork belly with latke and apple chutney, as well as other options like fennel sausage pasta, the beet farmer sandwich, and the highly recommended Roman Style Margherita slice with perfect crunch. The menu features a variety of cocktails, including the pomegranate temple and a bartender's choice, along with a very good spicy Bloody Mary. While some reviews mention that the restaurant can feel a little understaffed, particularly on busy nights, the service remains generally good, and the chef often makes a table-side appearance. The atmosphere is described as chill and cool, with dark lighting and a DJ even present during brunch. The food is cooked from scratch, creating an interesting mix of Mexican and Italian flavors. Manuscript provides a soothing environment where guests can enjoy amazing flavors and genuine service, making it a place where one can just be and feel nourished.
