We have a tradition of going to Manny's on Thanksgiving for lobster and it was fantastic! The chef served us deconstructed whole lobsters in a beautiful presentation served by Sean. Great cocktails, wine, and amazing food. (No turkey!). Beautiful night at this amazing restaurant that always delivers a wonderful experience!

Thank you Butcher’s Tale for making my birthday so special! First off, our server Meesh (sp) was an absolute gem. She was friendly, knowledgeable and her attitude was confident yet casual. As a queer couple, sometimes we get treated weirdly but Meesh was absolutely excellent and welcoming. The server assistants were also top notch and very attentive. The food was immaculate! The pork chop was roughly the size of a king mattress and I have no idea how the kitchen managed to cook such a mighty chop to absolute perfection. My steak was one of the best I’ve ever had and the key lime pie almost made me cry tears of joy, and yet I despair I will never again find its equal. We will we back! Also I don’t drink anymore but the whiskey list was very impressive! Thank you everyone!
