Our table was ready upon arrival, and we were greeted by a friendly hostess. Our waitress Maggie was also very sweet and friendly. The only downside was the service was a little bit on the slower side but we weren’t in a hurry so that was fine. The owner came over and chatted with us during our meal and was also very sweet. I would definitely recommend the mussels, paella, and scallops with risotto!

The food was fantastic - not the run of the mill entrees - all of our plates were wiped clean of food. The service was great and the owner came out to our table to ask how everything was. We will definitely be coming back again!

Took friends visiting from New Jersey. Our second time . Both experiences months apart were very good. Interesting menu, good portions. Lots of seafood choices which we all loved. HIghlights were lobster bisque (beautiful presentation with mussels and shrimp!), grilled octopus salad, and of course, a perfect manhattan! Attentive service and nice atmosphere.

I was lucky enough to attend the Talk of Connecticut Listener Appreciation Luncheon with the featured speaker Bob Stephanowski. I had the Strip Steak with steamed vegetables on the side,, cooked medium. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned so good, like something I've never tasted before, so tasty!! It was a 5 star Luncheon and a 5 star steak. The waiters, waitresses and bartender are the best on the planet. The owner and his wife are pretty awesome too!!

Outstanding food and service. Excellent cocktails as well. We've followed the chef from one restaurant to the Manhattan and he is still killing it. Salads, tapas, entries and drinks are all fantastic. This has become our "go to" place.

We had such a lovely time. The ambiance, food, service and attention to detail was perfect. We will definitely come back. I highly recommend fie anyone visiting in the area!

*update: Bar Experience. The bar was very well equipped, the bartender ( Alex) was very attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. Carlos made sure everyone was tended and had what they needed. Great teamwork behind the bar. The food Experience at the bar matched that of the dining room experience. The bar and restaurant was busy but Alex, Carlos and all of the staff hustled and the food was hot, tasted wonderful and of course left me wanting desert. If you have not visited this establishment, you are missing out. Everything from their service, their extensive drink menu, their delicious "tapas", their creative specials, their daily menu to their tray of deserts is an experience. Come on by, I promise you will not be disappointed. Check out the updated Bar Experience pictures. A hidden Gem in downtown Southington. This is our second visit here and we are absolutely in love with this restaurant. From its eclectic decor, super attentive staff to its fabulously fantastic tasting tapas and entrees....where do I truly begin. The owners ( Rob, is always stopping by to say hello and check in) are visible and make you feel welcomed, my waitress Alyssa was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious. The pictures below do no justice to the flavors that pop as you are eating them. You can't wait to come back. Oh I almost forgot....the drinks....the best Sangrias!!!! Yes! Sangrias...Sangrias!! You must stop by.

Again; another great meal and drinks at The Manhattan! Recommend highly!

Great place with low key atmosphere, occasional music, wonderful tapas, great entrees and exquisite drinks…. Especially the Manhattans….

Again; another awesome meal and drinks with great service!
