Manna Uptown,

61 West Franklin Street, Dayton, OH 45459

"This place is a hidden gem! It is so elegant and stunning inside. This restaurant has more space inside than what appears to have from the outside. The service was excellent! Our waiter, Dewayne, was well versed with each dish and drink. The food was delicious! I have found a new favorite restaurant!"

"Finally got to try Manna Uptown. The profile of the chef is very well trained and love that she uses her heritage to create dishes. The front staffs are really helpful and friendly. The decoration is very nice however the tables setting are too tight too each other. Also the sofa cushion is not comfortable and sink even 130 lbs weight. Food choice are very good but all of the dishes are too salty. Drink menu are very good and variety choices to choose."

"Our inaugural visit to Manna last night left us pleasantly impressed. The ambiance struck a perfect balance, contributing to a relaxed yet upscale dining atmosphere. The service was outstanding, adding to the overall positive experience. We opted for the lamb and salmon dishes, both of which were expertly cooked, showcasing a commendable level of culinary skill. The flavors were rich and satisfying, demonstrating a commitment to quality in the kitchen. To complement our meal, we ordered pinot by the glass which proved to be a great choice. All in all, Manna provided a satisfying culinary adventure, and we're already considering a return visit. The combination of a comfortable ambiance, attentive service, and well-prepared dishes makes it a place worth revisiting."

"I want to start this out by saying I did have a good time here, and the food was really good. And with this being a relatively new restaurant, I want to show some grace while also being authentic with my review. Our server was very nice and friendly, but for being a slow weeknight, I find it difficult to forgive how slowly and strangely paced the service was. We got our appetizer well before our drinks; to the point of where we had finished the appetizer by the time our drinks got to the table. The calamari was delicious though. Also, we had yet to be given our second round of cocktails until after we had finished our entrees. Also a personal qualm is that the restaurant was so cold, and the air conditioning vent made the light fixture above our table sway back and forth all evening with how strongly it was blowing. I think the quality of the food kind of makes up for the lack in service, however, due to the price of the dining experience, I feel as though 4 stars is fair. I am willing to visit again to see if it improves with time."

"Beautiful & perfect way to spend an anniversary. Our server/bartender Chloé was amazing and so kind. Our drinks were pricey but definitely worth the value if you care about mixology. And food was delicious and carefully crafted. We order zucchini fritters, chicken, summer pasta and lavender cheesecake. Atmosphere was exactly what we were yearning for. They encouraged us to walk around to see the decor upstairs. Bathrooms are very clean. Parking and entrance is in the back. Be mindful that dinner starts at 4p and there's no lunch, at least on Sunday. We didn't have reservations, which wasn't an issue since we came when they opened. Loved this little gem."
