    I made a birthday reservation at this restaurant & they turned out to not be open! Saturday night at 8pm, imagine my surprise when I get to the front door & it’s closed… again for a birthday. Luckily D Bar across the street could get us in last minute.

    This restaurant is closed It needs to be removed from your site. Both our group and another stood outside the restaurant with an incredulous look on our faces as not only was the reservation booked and accepted we received continuous reminders of the reservation.

    We wanted a nice casual seafood dinner and got it!!! Manzo was perfectly what we wanted and more.personalized service for starters_ the owner took us through the menu and how fresh they source and store their seafood and his favorite dishes, the chef came out and gave us more info about the dishes and the special attention the veggies get😜 The dishes were very well done, oyster platter was so fresh, tuna poke was delicious, mussel pot had fresh fat mussels And side dishes were so fresh and wonderful Thank you for a memorable evening.

    There is not enough good things to say about Manzo. We were so impressed by everything that we made a reservation for a few days later while we were still eating and drinking.

    Great cocktail recommendation from the server. The initial appetizer took a very long time as they were doing an Oyster event as well as regular dinner service. The chef came out to apologize and gave us extra food in the app (seafood junkie tower), which was much appreciated and delicious. The entrees then came out soon after and were delicious as well. I would definitely go back!

    Attended oyster event. Restaurant was not prepared. Wait times between when we finished courses was 20minutes or more. Was not servers fault. Clearly the kitchen wasn’t prepared. We were not there to over eat, but the pace of food was slow so value of event was not reasonable. Restaurant acknowledged problems but should have at least comped a few drinks.

    This is a fun little place with delicious lobster for an incredibly reasonable price. After being asked to pay $105 for a small lobster at a pretentious seafood place downtown (we didn't), we happened on Manzo, where we had sweet whole lobster for an unheard of low price. Not only was our waitperson (Christian, who was likely the manager) knowledgeable about seafood, but he invited us back to see the sustainable lobster tank set up by a marine biologist. The chef is understandably proud of how the to-be-seafood is housed in the restaurant, and it shows up in the food. Can't wait to go back.
