    We visited Manny’s three days in a row and are not even staying at The W! We had lunch twice and were so impressed that we’re having dinner tonight!!! The food was outstanding, and the service was top top notch! Kudos to our busboy Louis, one of the hardest working people I have met, and our waiter Jorge and waitress Catherine! All of these staff members were very hardworking, professional and friendly and made our experience exceptional. Kudos also to the manager on duty Greg Williams for helping us secure our dinner reservations and appreciating our comments.

    When you walk into Bacio for Happy Hour or dinner it's always a vibrant atmosphere! Last night was no exception, in fact it was super electric by the time we arrived for our early 5:45 dinner reservation. It was a combination of early Valentine celebrations along with their special Cajun additions for the season! The specials were fabulous, felt like you were in the kitchen of Commander's Palace in New Orleans! Courtney knew what we liked and made some very good recommendations! Courtney is one of our favorites! Don't know how long the Cajun specials will be on the menu, but check them out before they're gone! And, if they are gone, there are plenty of great items that will never disappoint you!
