    Food was tasteless and burnt. We ordered risotto that they reheated under a salad de so it was dry and hard. The pancetta was burnt to a crisp. Terrible service as well

    So nice to have them open on Christmas evening! They were short staffed but completely understandable. Everyone was happy to be there and was in the holiday spirit. Couldn’t have asked for a better night for our family!

    The absolute worst dining experience we have ever had. Service was very poor.wrong enters delivers. Corrected entrees were delivered with the check.Caesar salad was one of the worst. The menu boasted of Parmesan and anchovies it tastes like oil and vinaigre. We sat by the fire to be warm. The owner kept opening the door after repeated requests to keep it closed by the waitress and we had to get up several times during the “meal”. Never again and don’t be temped due to its proximity to the Redondobeach preforming arts center

    Nice vibe. Decent selection of food. Kinda pricey … hard to say whether that’s the post-covid effect. 2 drinks, 2 entrees, 1 app = $100 + tip. Not crazy expensive, but somehow felt over priced for what we had.

    Delish food! Short on staff but the food was so good, we overlooked the lag in service. Our server slash bartender was able to be in two places at one time and did an awesome job. Our second time being here and it’s definitely changed for the better - and it wasn’t bad the first time. I can’t stop thinking about the fresh pasta made in house :)

    Rissoto was so peppery it was actually almost spicy. I like pepper, but it was so incredibly overwhelming in the dish. Four of us all tried it and said "WHOA, holy pepper." Gnocchi were really nice in texture but very tiny in size, which is unusual for gnocchi and the sauce left a little to be desired in terms of flavor. Didn't try any but my sister in law said the chicken parm was just okay. Overall a cute place and nice for a more intimate and relaxing dinner, but the food was just okay. Our server was great. Very kind and provided great service.

    From the outside one might think The Manhattan House is a local bar and hang out. Once inside its apparent that it’s all that plus an interesting place to have dinner. The fireplace burning and the smell of the wood fire oven gives the place a comfortable feel, sort of like a secret place where the « in crowd » congregates. Drinks ordered - Italian wine and a hand crafted old fashion whiskey concoction Wood fire margarita Napolitain pizza for pré dinner snacking - the tomato salad and Cesar salad both well prepared Main entree - Squid ink pasta and roasted meatballs Both good making one want to return to order more items from the rather limited menu

    The food was mediocre at best. Pizza dough wasn’t cooked through, the chicken nuggets were more like cut up chicken cutlets, dry, and flavorless. The tagliatelle tasted like it was from a can. Service was slow, they forgot a dish, we didn’t get drink refills until we were done eating. Would not recommend, would not eat there again.

    We had a really great dinner. The staff and server were great. The vegetable dish was awesome. The meatballs were so good--is it bad to describe a meatball as fluffy? No! it was fluffy somehow. I had the whole Bramundi fish--excellent, and wife had the gnocchi. Both were great. It has been a while since we went to Manhattan House, and super glad we got back there.
