“ After all these years the food and drinks are still delicious. My friend and I got lucky with a spot at the bar. I highly recommend a reservation. The staff is super friendly. The ambience is super cute. It's one of those places that would do well with IG photoshoots. ”

“ Recently had an incredible time at Manuela. George took great care of us -- he was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. We started off with some drinks: two Poblano Palomas, a Vesper, The Rockwell, and a Parsley Gimlet. For food, we ordered two orders of Kusshi oysters, the Ocean trout tartare, the Smoked albacore dip with Carolina gold rice crackers, the Burrata, the Shrimp roll, the Snake River Farms hanger steak, and the Big Glory Bay salmon. Everything was fresh and packed with flavor. The hanger steak was tender and juicy, and the salmon was perfectly cooked. We wrapped up with a couple of Americanos, and since we were celebrating a birthday, they sent out a complimentary almond ice cream. Top-tier experience all around; already looking forward to the next visit! ”

“ Our friend spoke highly of Manuela, especially the Cara Cara salad. It did not disappoint. For the size of the cream biscuits, I was able to get a lot of bites and flavor out of it so I enjoyed them immensely. The rest of my party loved the albacore dip. St Louis ribs were a treat. Nice bartender w the curly hair and all blue denim made our drinks (black manhattan n Sangria). Him, Angel, and the waitstaff were all top-notch. We'll be back! ”

“ This place has the honor of being some of the best food I have ever eaten. We tried a lot of different items but the standouts were the cornbread, the Louisiana shrimp aguachile, Double RR ranch ribeye (tender! Medium perfect!) but the crowning glory is the Big glory bay salmon with lemon beurre blanc. We soaked our bread in that sauce until it was gone! The salmon was super tender, pan fried with crispy skin. I'm from Seattle and the salmon here is so much better. Our server was attentive and the organic, greenery with lightscaping was an absolutely wonderful backdrop for our meal. They have heaters if it gets too cool. Special mention for the "stay gold pony boy" cocktail they serve, Highly recommend! ”

“ If you enjoy brunch, new American, prioritize lovely interior decor, friendly service, and is less price sensative (this place is $$$), then Manuela might be a 5/5 for you! For me, it was 3/5 if purely considering the food I tried. (I do think it might have been due to failure to order the best items. In retrospect, I didn't really order an entree?! No wonder I felt it was not worth...) Corn bread - great butter, plain bread. I see what they are trying to do by being not sweet, and this might pair really well when eating other items but preferably not by itself. (It was served by itself.) Hazelnut Salad - tastes like a fine salad. Cucumber Roe w/ toast - most preferred item among everything tried so far. I think it was delicious because all the ingredients were something I enjoyed. Roasted potatoes - very classic item that you can't go wrong cooking. ”

“ Brought here for a simple and sweet bday dinner with my partner. The server was so friendly and full of great food and drink suggestions! We had to have the biscuits and though there was a wait for them they were warm and delicious when they were served to us. I honestly came here for two dozen of the chargrilled/ barbecued oysters ! They're so seasoned and grilled to perfection. We also got good drinks. The yellow one was thee bestttt (I switched over to that one after my first drink) Very busy, few spots of street parking and there is valet offered as well. The space is very cool and had an exhibit of cool cars in the summer ! *can't remember bathroom situation , check was a tad expensive, and I dislike when there's low to no parking ”

“ Love this place. It's great indoor outdoor dining. The foliage has grown over time and now it feels like you're dining in a nice garden. Staff are super nice and attentive. Also easy on the eyes haha. We had brunch today and ordered the creamy biscuits (a must - they are buttery, light, flakey and delicious), the cara orange salad (also so good), ocean trout tartar -yummy, for mains we shared the hangar steak and salmon. The salmon isn't a huge portion so just fyi. Food was 10/10. ”

“ My husband and I went to Manuela for a late breakfast and absolutely enjoyed our experience. We ended up sitting by the bar and it had a great vibe. Sitting outside felt super comfortable thanks to the many heaters. All the food was incredible . Probably the best, most flaky biscuits we ever had. The bacon was glazed in honey and heavenly. The venison burger was cooked to perfection and super juicy. We really wanted to try the desserts but we were too full. Will come back for desserts next time. ”
