Excellent service - Friendly and attentive staff. Delicious food. Not super crowded when we were there which is why I selected quiet, I have been there when live music was playing and it was too loud for me, but this trip was excellent.

We always eat out on Christmas Eve after the week of getting ready. We wanted to try a new place and Manor Hill looked like a good option. Our server, food and setting were great but it was a bit slow; likely due the holiday rush. We weren't in a hurry but the hard chairs were a bit much after awhile, especially for my 87 yr old mom. Everyone enjoyed their dinners and that's the most important part.

We all enjoyed our meals. My husband ordered the duck breast which was excellent, my son ordered the burger and fries that he thoroughly enjoyed, and I ordered a special which was Frenched Huli Huli Chicken with rice and haricot vert which was amazing. I heartily endorse this restaurant. The wine selections were perfect. Don't turn down dessert. We had creme brulee, bread pudding and pecan tart all of which were perfection. I can also recommend the arancini appetizer which is delicious.
