I brought an out-of-town visitor who has dietary restrictions and knew the chef and staff would deliver. They did! The server wrote down her questions, offered suggestions and quickly reported back from the chef. It was also so nice to hear each other’s conversation with no loud music and noise, but with a lovely buzz. Food was excellent as always. A great dining experience.

We had a very good meal at Mana. Our server, Nicole, was great. She recommended many of the dishes we were already leaning towards. Even the wine was spot on. She elevated our dining experience.
