Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Mankas Grill offers a delightful dining experience with "amazing service" and "excellent food." Guests rave about the prime rib sandwich and short ribs, which are described as "phenomenal." The restaurant's ambiance is charming, complemented by a great outdoor seating area. While some diners mention high prices, the quality often justifies the cost.

    The food is excellent as is the service. However, the noise level was so high it was difficult to carry on a conversation. Some sort of noise screen needs to be put around the bar area, or move it to another section. Isn't there a downstairs area that could be used for the bar?

    We arrived at the restaurant at 4:50 without a reservation, to an empty restaurant. The hostess told us that they were full of reservations and offered us high bar seats with no back stools, outside seating w/ heaters (45'), or bar seating. We declined all offers. We went to our car made a 5 pm reservation through Open Table, returned, and were seated immediately. Our server was delightful and our meal was good. We've been going to Mankas Grill for years. This was our first hiccup with the whole reservation thing. So will give a pass to the hostess. Maybe she was having an off night.

    Baked Brie was delicious, as were the oysters. Ordered the Lamb Chops, which came out cold as was the mashed potatoes. I sent them back and returned, still cold. Didn’t dare send back a second time. Extremely disappointed and didn’t feel that $62 was value for 3 small chops. Won’t ever order lamb again from Mankas

    Great prime rib sandwich! Hamburger underdone. Good wine list but needs expanding, considering all of the great local wineries. We had to ask for silverware but service was good after that.

    Selections for lunch were very good, and the full menu was available for lunch as well. We enjoyed the restaurant; the service was excellent and what we ate was delicious.
