We have a tradition of going to Manny's on Thanksgiving for lobster and it was fantastic! The chef served us deconstructed whole lobsters in a beautiful presentation served by Sean. Great cocktails, wine, and amazing food. (No turkey!). Beautiful night at this amazing restaurant that always delivers a wonderful experience!

I went for lunch and had one of the lunch specials. I can't remember the name (pasta with a red sauce with wild boar). I chose solely because when my server was describing it, his eyes lit up for a second! I thought, if he got excited just describing it then I should try it! We paired the entree with one of the house Cabernets. Amazing! The server read my mind as he subtilty dropped off the dessert menu. I completed the meal with the chocolate torte and a coffee. Excellent way to finish! The service was flawless from the maitre 'd greeting me with a warm smile. My server was busperson was very attentive, warm and engaging. The only "downside" is the value. The bill was close to $100 for one, so not a "fast casual dining" but luxurious dining experience with supreme food and outstanding service!
