I have always loved this place, the manager Donny is spectacular.... however, go when no live band is playing. After repeatedly asking for the screeching songstress to turn the music down so we did not have to yell at the top of our lungs (and damaged hearing the next day) we settled up our tab after the appetizers (tipping well), cancelled our dinner and left the rest of our group. This isn't Toads Place, read the room.... We came for a dining experience, not having to shout over loud music.

We’ve been to the manhattan twice now, and we had a wonderful time both times. Great atmosphere for eating tapas style, and the live music on Friday evening provided just the right ambiance without being too loud. The food choices are both unique and delicious. To top it off, the owner came to our table to say hello both nights we were there. But best of all, the service is excellent. Tonight, our server, Taylor, provided us with perfect service and made sure our visit was fun.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Tapas and cocktail bar that is so much more. Fantastic menu with a focus on Spanish-inspired dishes. Diverse selection of tapas that will satisfy any palette. Live music on weekends. Great local dining experience!
I had the lamb chops, delicious. We tried a little bit of everything, was very pleased. And my group was a little crazy I appreciate our servers patience. Lovely place.

We had an outstanding experience at The Manhattan. We were a party of five on a Tuesday evening which was very quiet with not a lot of patrons. I've been told it's very busy on the weekends, so we were happy to have a table immediately with our reservation. The food choices were so interesting and so different from the usual restaurant fare (that we are getting tired of.) We ordered several tapas and each ordered an entree as well. Our server, Julia, was so great! We all agreed we would return again just to see her! But we don't have to go just for that since everyone loved their food choices. The manager was very friendly and attentive as well. Also, the Pear Martini was excellent! My favorites of the night were the chicken spring rolls and the entree special of stuffed shrimp with lobster risotto. There is no doubt we'll be back!

My husband and I had dinner at The Manhattan twice over the past month and we absolutely loved it both times. Taylor T. was our server both visits and she was amazing. The salted caramel martini is to die for. The Manhattan is now our new favorite local place.

The Manhattan is definitely a place to go. The cocktails are creative and well made. The food has great variety, is well plated, and delicious. The service is outstanding. Maggie was our server and she was attentive, informative, and helpful. It was a tremendous experience.

Heard about this place from friends, and I must say we were not disappointed. Started off with a hot buttered rum cocktail which was very good. Had appetizers, dinner and of course, dessert. Everything was excellent. Our waitress was wonderful. Already planning a trip back.
Let me first say this was a great experience. We started with the tapas .I had the seared squid with fingerling potatoes and reduced vinegrette.This dish was so flavorful and delicious.We next had the meat & cheese plate with figs etc...let's just say bomb!My wife had the lobster bisque and she said it was excellent.We had cocktails both were Martini's and they were great.For our entree's I had the seafood paella which was one of the best I had.My wife had the scallops and she had nothing bad to say.Overall the Manhattan is a great restaurant tapas bar whatever you wanna call it I just say go and try it and support local.

This was our 2nd visit. Once again the food and service was great. We waited quite a while for our food but the manager came over and explained the issue in the kitchen and that our food would be out shortly which it was. He also offered us complimentary dessert which was also delicious. I understand things happen and I was more than satisfied with the manager explaining. We will definitely be back!

It's risky to name your bar after a drink, but they do make a good Manhattan ? so I guess they can keep the name. The bartenders are very personable too.
