Twenty Manning

The place has a great ambience, full bar and neon signage. Defenitely cozy and trendy, great spot for a date. We didn't have a reservation but were lucky to get seated immediately as it gets very busy. Our service was pleasant and attentive. We ordered 5 small plates and Dorado. Dolma and beets were simply fantastic. We enjoyed everything we tried. All dished were served were served with little time in between- just enough to clear your pallet and discuss flavors. We definitely will be back and will be bringing friends over.

The meal was terrific. This place plays around with middle-eastern spices and new techniques without going into the territory of seeming like a "fusion" or a Europeanized experience. This is definitely middle-eastern flavors and spices with combination techniques that feel innovative and yet still comforting. The crispy dolma are memorable, and the fired eggplant was smokey with complex flavors. The fish (chard) was perfectly cooked, with a luxurious sauce that didn't overwhelm the flavors of the fish, but definitely gave it a kick. The vibe on the Manning street side outside was relaxed and cosmopolitan. It felt a bit like sitting on a street in downtown Cairo and eating a high-quality meal while people wandered past. We only saw one car on the street in the two hours we were there on a Saturday evening. Regarding service, there were no errors, and the pacing of the meal was quite good. It would have been nice for the server to check in a couple of more times, and we would definitely have ordered more if he had, but we were one of the only parties outside. Overall, though, the service was reliable and responsive. A wonderful evening with exciting flavors and an unforgettable ambiance.

We had a delicious meal and fantastic cocktails. Michael really made the experience as our bartender and gave us some fabulous recommendations. Would definitely come here again on a date, with friends, or for a meal with family.

The ambience is really nice. Cocktails are 5/5- REALLY GOOD! However, the food is like a 2-3/5. My falafel sandwich and zaatar potatoes were both really dry. I didn’t enjoy it or finish it. Lacked flavor as well. I’d go again for the cocktails, but definitely not the food.

Great vibe. Food was good when it was good. Though Filet Mignon was overcooked and Entrée plate had to be re fired twice due to kitchen problems and came out 30 minutes late. Servers having all tables rather than one seemed like it caused issues. All servers were great but it seemed understaffed and disorganized. Drinks were phenomenal.

Very nice decore and the staff is friendly. The portion sizes are quite large. I will definitely come back for the drinks and "snacks" but the entrees/dessert were nothing too memorable. The table for 3 in a banquet had a small table circumference, so we didn't have a ton of room of everything.

Went there for the first time for NYE dinner , and last Sunday for brunch. On both ocassions the food, drinks and service were great! Will be back for sure.

Four of us went for dinner and the food and service was quite good. Actually the service was better then the food. Started with mussels, they were tender and done correctly, then had the cheese ravioli, again, it was good for the price. Others had the crab cake, it was fair, shrimp de avilio which was ok at best and other had short ribs. No dessert
