Contribute Feedback What Brent likes about Manuela:
A go-to choice for taking people for brunch in downtown who expect a more refined experience. The surrounding museum, garden and courtyard give you plenty to do while you wait for a table, but definitely make a reservation. The cocktails match the energy of the avant garde comfort food, carefully put together with a twist of quality and signature style. View all feedback.
What Chelsea Ma doesn't like about Manuela:
I’ve been here five times now and the service continues to get worse and worse. Last time I was here which was a few months ago, they forgot to serve our table drinks and they comped our drinks in the end because they knew they took forever. I went today and same thing. Slowest service ever. Hostess seated two tables before us even though I had reservations and checked in before the other parties and the service was... View all feedback.
This is my second time at Manuela but my first time here for brunch. I’ll say that the dinner menu and portions are much stronger than the brunch menu. Service and atmosphere are still great as always.
The food was delicious , just had an issue with one of our plates where the meat didn’t feel seasoned enough. The service was a bit slow, and wish our waiter was checking in more. Other than that I’ll be back with friends and family
Absolute fav. food place in LA. Do try their bisquittes, por favor. loved their veggie growing garden. saw the exhibitions after. Impressed how this swiss based art gallery do such a good job keeping up with the restaurant
Hostess is way too stale and just overall unpleasant.
Manuela was a great, outdoor experience for me and my son who decided to try Manuela before a show at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The appetizers we great and fresh. We tried the biscuits and Trout Tartare for starters. The biscuits were extremely flaky and my son wanted to take the Steen’s butter home. The Trout Tartare was perfectly seasoned and fresh. We also had the Arugula salad which felt very “field to table” and perfectly flavored with aged balsamic. The texture of the Sea Bass was perfect and it was accompanied by fava bean and hominy in a butter sauce that gave French vibes. Finally, the butterball potatoes with pickled onion, shishito and horseradish helped round out the meal. I highly recommend Manuela if you’re venturing downtown for a meal.
