Best Californian Restaurants in San Gabriel

Good was good and nice Ambiance, great service too and manager stopped by to check in.

Ignore all the bad reviews their service was outstanding very Nice waiters food portions are actually good sized. The food was actually flavorful unlike how the reviews had said. Overall I would recommend this restaurant. Me and my girlfriend loved it.

Waitstaff was excellent and attentive. Celebrated a birthday and they may a special dessert . Food was delicious.

Ah, Manual LA, the hidden gem nestled in the vibrant art district where parking is a bit challenging ! Who doesn't love a limited-time weekend affair where reservations are as essential as your morning coffee? Trust me, you'll want to secure your spot in advance to avoid the dreaded waitlist of doom. As for the menu, prepare to be swept off your feet by the ocean trout tartare – it's a love letter to seafood that even Poseidon would approve of. The burrata is a creamy delight with delight cucumber that will make you question why you've ever eaten anything else. And then, there's the French toast, a carbohydrate devil that could easily moonlight as dessert. If you're someone who finds carbohydrates utterly captivating (and let's be honest, who isn't?), Manual LA is your carb-laden paradise.

A very unique experience! My husband and I celebrated our ten year anniversary here and it felt like we were visiting another world all-together. The ambiance with its ethereal music and beautiful art yarn tapestry draping from the ceilings surrounded by plants and vines, transported us from our normal lives. Our seven-course-meal was wonderful and appreciated tastes and textures we've never had before. We walked away mesmerized and our bellies full!
