Great place, great food and the live music was awesome
Marilyn Porter
Our family dinner at Manhattan’s Bristro was an absolute delight! From impeccable customer service to a menu that catered to all tastes, every aspect of our experience was outstanding. The chef's culinary expertise shone through in each perfectly crafted dish, and the live music added a charming ambiance. We left with full hearts and satisfied palates, eager to return for another magical evening. Highly recommended!Vegetarian options: Although our table predominantly ordered non-vegetarian dishes, I was pleasantly surprised by the delightful vegan options available. Two members who follow a vegan diet thoroughly enjoyed their flavorful vegan pasta dishes.

This is the best restaurant in Guelph. My husband and I make reservations Manhattans as often as we can. The food is fabulous, the music is amazing and the staff is next level. Thank you Maria and Darryn for such a lovely place to visit.

I had high hopes for this place after reading all the reviews, however, this place was a big disappointment. The reservation process was great. We got seated no problem but this was where the good experience ended. I especially like how the server told us right at the onset that we had to clear the table within 2 hours. So clearly there was a clock running that we needed to eat and get out. As you read my review, you'll find that this is really funny that they give you a 2-hour limit, but don't serve you until an hour and a half into your seating. Also I should mention that we went in for dinner fairly early at 6:15 which is well before the place got busy.It started with our server not getting our order right, I admire people who try to memorize your order but I think folks should go back to writing down orders so they don't forget. Our server almost forgot our appetizer, but that's fine. We were able to remind her so that got put in and brought to us within about 20 minutes of us ordering.But then everything went sideways. We ordered pizza which I don't think is very complicated, but after 45 minutes of waiting - during which the server never came by to follow up on us - we flagged her down and asked her what was going on. She went to look into what was taking so and she tried to tell us how everybody in the restaurant had ordered pizza so they were backed up. Really?!? ?After the server came by, a gentleman popped over who I think was the owner and we told him as well that we have been waiting a ridiculous amount of time for a pizza who also went to go look into what was taking so long. On the upside he did manage to speed up the process because the pizza came shortly after him following up.When it eventually came, and not being too harsh, but was not exactly what I expected or the caliber of pizza from a restaurant like this. Add injury to insult, our server came over and had the nerve to say " so is it worth the wait?" to which my wife politely responded "Nope not at all". The server smiled, said sorry and walked away.At this point we just wanted to get out of there, plus don't forget the clock is running out and we were coming up on our 2 hours.We paid our bill, and left - but this is where I found it very interesting. As we are walking out the owner asked us again how our experience was and we told him we were not very happy. It's extremely disappointing that instead of inquiring what was so bad or how he could make or experience better, he just smiled wished us a good weekend and wanted us to get out of his restaurant.

This was my third visit to Manhattans and the first for our four sons (25-30 years old). We all loved it. We all agreed our pizzas were the best we'd ever had. The staff is very attentive, without being obtrusive. The music was good and a wonderful to treat at the end of our meal. The noise level is normal before the band, and barely able to talk once they start. All-in-all, it was a great night out. We'll all be back.

Can I give atmosphere a 6/5? The food was great but the music, even better. We had the delight of hearing Stan Chang and Charlie Cooley and wow what a duo. I had the Gillespie, and honey on pizza is definitely the new thing. Will say that I think their prices have gone up in the past bit, but are still reasonable considering it’s a more upscale restaurant and you’re getting live entertainment.

Just another great experience at Manhattan's. We've been here before so we knew the food was excellent. Our waitress was wonderful. If there was a downside it was we were there before the music started our fault but we were hungry. Great food, great service and when there's music we've always liked it.
I came here for a first date with my ladyfriend last night. The atmosphere, entertainment, and service were excellent. My dish did not particularly amaze me, but it was good and I don't have any complaints. I thought the menu was rather small, and the portions also small; but I didn't mind, since it was a nice date setting and we were there mostly to talk anyway. On that note, while the entertainer was very good (Stan Chang), the piano was a little loud where we were sitting, so we had to speak up a bit to hear each other. Don't mind my minor nitpicks; overall, the experience was very good, and we would definitely come back. 5/5
