Nobody from our group has ever tried this restaurant but thanks to the reviews that I saw which convinced me to have ourcelebration here. Our waitress Katie was great. She gave great suggestions answered our questions. For appetizer, we startedwith the Chorizo Stuffed Mushrooms, Crab Meat avocado cocktail Calamares. Everything we ordered were great but I highlyrecommend the Crab Meat Avocado cocktail. For our Main Entrees, We ordered stuffed Veal which was awesome. RibEye which wasnot part of the menu but was a special. We ordered a few desserts but my favorite was the Peanut butter cheesecake. Thisrestaurant is a must try. Definitely coming back here.

Big bonus very reasonably priced. A dozen oysters ????on the half shell only $17. Baby rack of lamb, veal dishes, pork chop and standards like chicken parm etc. Please support thislocal business. Compared to some of the restaurants we ve eaten in recently their prices are between 1/3-1/2 of what we paid.They are very much trying to keep their prices reasonable while maintaining excellent quality and customer service! Please givethem a try! ?? ?? ???? ??

The scallops were juicy and cooked really well, the chipotle chicken pasta was also delicious. We can?t wait to trytheir other location which is closer but so glad we were able to try it last night. In addition, They mark their menu to showwhat can be made gluten free is GF. The service was also very good too!

It was hard to decide but we each chose a different entre. We were not disappointed. Everything was brought to the table hot and it was delicious. We all took home our leftovers for the next day. Very appreciative for a well prepared meal and pleasant service. We will be back! Happy New Year!

Best veal i have had in a long time and will enjoy another meal as the portion was hugh, and my friends enjoyed their pasta and swordfish special. Dinner salads were a good size, and my arugula and pear salad had lots of great flavor without being drenched in dressing. Overall, a really nice dining experience.

They allowed us early access to set up the room. They agreed to all of my requests. The food the steak was delicious) and service was amazing. Joey led the team of waiters and were so professional. My guests were well taken care of. Great choices on the menu. I was allowed to bring in my own birthday cake and they served it for us. I highly recommend Manera’s for your private party and for a dinner out. A culinary experience and remember it’s a byob. Thank you Manera’s.

However, the staff did not seem to pay any attention. We provided all the decorations for the dessert table. When it was time for dessert, my wife set up the table, but we realized that 60 champagne cupcakes with Mimosa icing were missing. I asked the female manager where they were, and she responded with a dismissive attitude, saying that the girls must have given them out. I pulled out my phone to show her a picture of the table without the cupcakes, but she made no effort to address the issue. Additionally, the Pasta Primavera was disappointingly presented, swimming in a quarter-centimeter of oil at the bottom of a shallow bowl. Overall, it was not a good experience.
