Manhattan of La JollaWonderful service, excellent foodMy husband and I had a lovely dinner at Manhattan. We had not been there for years and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The restaurant was busy but we were well attended. Portions are adequate but not huge. Many Italian restaurants overcook pasta (che peccata!) but everything here was especially well prepared. There was a piano player - good but overall a little loud. We'll go back soon!6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMComplete classy restaurantManhattan's is very classy, old school,

We also had their house specialty which is the veal chop and it was great. The service was impeccable. I would highly recommend this restaurant.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMThey keep the dining roomThey keep the dining room way too dark for me. The food was excellent and the service was great but it doesn't need to be quite so dark.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMTimelessThe Manhattan restaurant at the Empress offers the best in service, food and ambience. The restaurant is a timeless classic that measures up as one of the best anywhere. Their house specialty cannelloni surpasses any description that can be imagined and their table side Caesar salad is iconic. Their waiters make you feel like your part of the family. If you're looking for classic homemade Italian fare with a friendly, service-oriented staff, this place can't be beat. It is a place frozen in time that won't disappoint.5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMDependably outstanding foodDependably outstanding food and service.
