Manhattan Room Tapas Kitchen

"Another day…another review! Tonight my wife and I celebrated our 9th anniversary at The Manhattan Room. It was a new place for us and we decided what they hey…let’s splurge a bit. Tapas has never been my go to because it always felt weird to buy a million small plates to share. But tonight we did it and over all the experience was solid. First, loved the atmosphere. Had a cool jazzy feel to the place and that’s what was being piped in over the speakers. Only real off putting thing about the place was a strange smell when we showed up. It smelled like their sewage lines had backed up. Now the food…we went crazy. Lamb meatballs (3.5 out of 5) Chicken empanadas (1 out of 5) Serrano ham croquettes (4.5 out of 5) Duck fat potatoes (3 out of 5) Hanger steak (4.5 out of 5) Crème brûlée (2 out of 5) Sticky toffee pudding (5 out of 5) Chocolate mousse (2.5 out of 5) I’ll hit the highlights and lowlights: The 3 highlights were the croquettes, hanger steak and the stick toffee pudding. I mean I could have thrown down about 8 servings of the toffee pudding…it might actually be my new favorite dessert. The lowlights chicken empanadas were over fried and terribly bland. But the true crime was the crème brûlée… burnt sugar and the syrup they had on top was reminiscent of robitussin. For $91 + tip, I felt it was fairly priced for the experience. All in all though I do plan on going back since their menu rotates. They also plan on expanding the menu to up to 50 small plates. — with Shawnda Wood at Manhattan Room Tapas Kitchen."

"Had a date night to check it out. Service was stellar..and the tapas were great, especially the sliders. Wish they had more of a mixed drink menu.. or maybe a monthly featured exotic drink. The GM came to our table personally..as he did other tables. He was very personable and let us know about the other restaurants. Another thing he informed us..which we loved the idea... was as long as you stay on the property, you can walk outside from restaurant to restaurant with your alcoholic drinks!! We will be back to try the other locations...and to the Manhattan, especially on Thursday, to hear the PIano!"

"I came here with a group of 8 ladies, a 3 year old and a 3 month old for a birthday. We requested to sit outside because we had to unexpectedly bring some kiddos (who were great). Food was great! We ordered almost everything on the menu and split the ticket between all of us. Kate was our server and she was amazing! Highly recommend this fun atmosphere."

"My husband and I went last night and both loved it. The music was excellent, our server was attentive, and the food was awesome. Didn’t have any cocktails, but we did eat - fish and chips - chicken empanadas - sliders - broccolini - shrimp yakitori - roasted beets - duck fat potatoes - beef tartare We were far too stuffed for dessert, but I loved the variety. It can get noisy, but I can’t think of a quiet restaurant on a Saturday night. Highly recommend, excited to go back and eat the other half of the menu!"

"Met up with some friends and family, to view one of our favorite music artists. The atmosphere was very nice and metropolitan, and the staff friendly. The acoustics made for some wonderful music, but at times when the artist spoke it was harder to make out what they were saying. The venue was packed when we were there, so I highly recommend reservations or you will be waiting for a long time. Overall, a great place to meet up with your loved one, family, or friends."
