    This restaurant never disappoints. For my birthday dinner it was beyond perfect! Rack of lamb was to die for, as were the prawns, njuda hummus (like wow) and the all time best mushrooms on a sword. For real.

    Ah, Manual LA, the hidden gem nestled in the vibrant art district where parking is a bit challenging ! Who doesn't love a limited-time weekend affair where reservations are as essential as your morning coffee? Trust me, you'll want to secure your spot in advance to avoid the dreaded waitlist of doom. As for the menu, prepare to be swept off your feet by the ocean trout tartare – it's a love letter to seafood that even Poseidon would approve of. The burrata is a creamy delight with delight cucumber that will make you question why you've ever eaten anything else. And then, there's the French toast, a carbohydrate devil that could easily moonlight as dessert. If you're someone who finds carbohydrates utterly captivating (and let's be honest, who isn't?), Manual LA is your carb-laden paradise.

    The food is always amazing! The carnitas are fall of the bone tender and the orange glaze is beyond. The venue is super cute but what made the night was out server Denae D. Her personality shines and she can work a table like I’ve never seen before! She charmed my mom and dad, which is not an easy thing to do, and she managed to consistently check on us while managing other tables and being amazing over there as well. 10/10 will return again AND make sure I sit in Denaes area! I hope the restaurant acknowledges the amazing staff they have and keep her for as long as she needs the gig (:
