    Loved the steak, but honestly, it was more the servers that made the night for me. Very good at their job, yet a great balance of personable and professional. Food: 8/10 Got the silver butter knife steak. Some parts were 15/10. Others were a bit too salty for me. Cooked VERY WELL. And dang, those 15/10 bites were to die for. Servers: 12/10. They really go above and beyond in service. Having good short conversations, being warm, and being great servers. Atmosphere: 8 but made 10 by the staff. I had never been there, and it was my first time getting a higher end dinner like that. So I felt a little out of my comfort zone, yet the staff did a great job at making me and my girlfriend feel welcomed. Overall, I loved it and will go back someday. :)

    Wonderful restaurant be prepared to spend some $$$$$. I had lamb chops others had filet mignon and single cut prime rib. All perfect. Scalloped potato’s were overcooked asparagus was good 1/2 portion of that and 1/2 of salad plentiful. We each had large shrimp cocktails for appetizer and split the death by chocolate cake. Craft cocktails were exceptional. Great for special occasion.

    We visited Manny’s three days in a row and are not even staying at The W! We had lunch twice and were so impressed that we’re having dinner tonight!!! The food was outstanding, and the service was top top notch! Kudos to our busboy Louis, one of the hardest working people I have met, and our waiter Jorge and waitress Catherine! All of these staff members were very hardworking, professional and friendly and made our experience exceptional. Kudos also to the manager on duty Greg Williams for helping us secure our dinner reservations and appreciating our comments.

    We were out having dinner with a group of 6 on Valentine's Day. It was very busy, and it did take a while to get our food, but our server was really kind and continued to keep us updated. The food was really good though it may be a bit pricey. Even though it was really busy and with other people talking from every direction, we were still able to hear each other talk without having to raise our voices. Would go back to try again on less busier days. Highly recommend.

    Lovely setting, attentive service, delicious meal and exciting cocktails. We loved every aspect of our date night dinner. Beef tartare, scallops and duck were all outstanding and beautiful. Passionfruit tart also very nice. Don’t miss the passionfruit cocktail with bubbles, sidecar or espresso martini. Exceptionally good.
