So, this year for our family reunion I got excited because I have heard really good things about this place.........UGGGGGG DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON THE BRUNCH BUFFET!!!! Disgusting...everything was dry....and had ZERO flavor.....we had 3 adults and one child and our bill was over 70 dollars......I am disgusted at the restaurants in Toledo.....I hope there regular non buffet food is better than that.....YUCK!!!
Review Source:Manhattan's is all around groovy and very cool. It's located in one of the old buildings in downtown Toledo, and it's interior reflects the warehouse district where it's situated.
On the inside, Manhattan's makes you forget you're in Toledo. Rustic brickwork throughout, all of the tables and chairs are dark timber...everything blends together very nicely and makes for a very cozy, yet classy dining experience.
When my girlfriend and I visited, they had a blues/rock band playing. It was a bit loud, but it was live music and they were fantastic! If you want a quiet meal, don't come here!
For my main, I had their osso bucco, and it was top notch! Â Served with three different types of risotto, the meat was cooked to perfection and flavorsome as hell. My girlfriend had the fettuccine with shrimp - it was perfect as well.
I wish there were other places in Toledo like Manhattan's. This town is screaming for diversity, and Manhattan's serves a large portion of it.
I'm not a frequent customer at Manhattan's but it's always a treat to go here. Â I've never been disappointed with the food or service. Â I'm a big fan of their Friday and Saturday prime rib special. Â There are two sizes with sides and soup/salad but you get plenty with the smaller 10 oz. portion. Â Sometimes you actually get your entree too quickly when you're still working on the salad. Â It is very reasonably priced compared to other places in the area. Â And I love their dessert menu! Â Wine selection is decent considering location and clientele.
The bar area is almost always busy. Â The dining area is spacious so you're not sitting right on top of your neighbor. Â It may be a good idea to call ahead for seating depending on the day/time and band scheduled for the night.
The food wasd delicious and the service was pretty good.
There was entertainment (a guy and his guitar) there the night I went and that was fun (not irritating as it can be in some cases).
The only problem I really had was that they were out of what I wanted (which the way I understand it is a common thing)
The food was ok, but should have been better for the price. Â I had beef Wellington that was super dry. Â My wife had the salmon special that looked 5 star, & she said it was awesome!! Â Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? Â The decor itself was really nice & the live jazz band was really cool! Â I'll give it one more shot, but I suggest not ordering the Wellington.
Review Source:I've been here a couple times. As a bar, this place is great. It has a nice atmosphere inside and good quality drinks. They also have local bands that play even during the week. There is also a nice patio outside, but hipsters hang out there. Â If you're looking for a place to have a few drinks with friends, this would be a good choice in Toledo. Â But...
As a restaurant, I would have to rate them pretty low. The service was atrocious. We waited 5-10 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge us, even though the sign said "please wait to be seated". There was no hostess. Then, we waited another 10-15 minutes for the waitress to take our order. Another 15 minutes for salads and after finishing our food, another 20 minutes of waiting for a waitress that never came back. We had to flag down another waitress to refill drinks and get the check. The food itself was pretty good but I can't ignore a waitress that is beyond a little slow, just downright rude. I'm sure I could get better service at Waffle House. Until Manhattan's, I hadn't experienced bad service in Toledo and I've been here about a year.
There are a lot of other restaurants in Toledo with similar quality food, comparable or lower prices and far better service.
I ordered the Alfredo pasta with chicken. It was one of the best Alfredo sauces I've had. The chicken was a little to charred. The bruschetta was tasty, a little to dry. My friend ordered the salmon cake salad which the salmon was pretty dry. Overall it was OK, not great. I will go back. I ordered this to go. The atmosphere when I picked up the order seemed to be rather dull with a wide variety of clientele.
Review Source:There is definitely a lack of consistency stopping me from giving Manhattan's more stars. Â Ambiance is nice, it's a great place to sit at the bar and enjoy a jazz band but the food is very hit or miss. Â I've had great appetizers and entrees but I've also had entrees that were near flavorless - and recommended by the server no less!
Review Source:This is my favorite place in Toledo. It has a very friendly atmosphere. The owners often sit and visit with the patrons. The bar is frequented by an older, upscale crowd with the younger crowd picking the patio when it's warm enough. If you're a regular, the bar crowd will greet you when you come in. Just like "Cheers". Great drinks, appetizers & dinners.
Review Source:I can't give a restaurant a perfect rating when I struck out with my initial choices for appetizers, main, AND dessert -- no matter how good the food may be.
Fulton Market Cevice? "We're out for the night."
Scallop Espoma? "Sorry, that's not available on our menu tonight."
Rum cake? "We ran out for the day."
Needless to say, things did not start off on the right foot from the get-go. Thankfully, my alternative choices proved to be delicious picks or I would not have been a happy diner. The Chinatown Salmon Rangoon was an interesting and enjoyable start to dinner. I viewed it more of a fancy twist to the generic crab rangoons. For my main, I chose the Beef Wellington -- the other dish that caught my attention (after the caviar from my initial unavailable Scallop Espoma.) Generous in the cut and in the flavors, I left the potato and artichoke gratin untouched in order to save room for the important course of any meal: desserts. The tiramisu was fluffy yet rich in espresso, but it certainly was not the most memorable one I've had to date.
Food-related issues aside, I have to say that Manhattan's is one of Toledo's best kept secrets. From the service to the layout of the place, everyone and everything exuded a warm and inviting manner. Live music is always a plus in my book.
Cool old building, plenty of live music and events. Â Upscale ambiance with a good bar selection. Â Big outdoor patio for the summer and private dinning area for groups. Â Excellent use of flavor and each dish I've had is done correctly.
My personal favorite is the Salmon Fettuccini. Â The Scottish salmon was prepared perfectly. Â Always refreshing when a chef knows not to overcook the entrees and a staff that can consistently deliver that end result.
Nice restaurant. Â I had never heard of it, but noticed it when driving by one day. Â The spinach artichoke dip that I had was quite good. Â It was a bit on the pricey side, but it is a slightly more upscale restaurant so it was to be expected. Â Unfortunately it was cold out when I went here, so I can't speak for the outdoor seating area, but I would assume that it is their way of keeping the smokers coming to their restaurant.
