I was solo and sat at the bar on Aug 5. Awesome service from the three bartenders. Had the 20 dollar oldFashioned to start. It was serviceable but not spectacular. Had the Caesar and the bone in filet. It was a very good Caesar with anchovies. I cried at the the first bite of the 70 dollar filet because it was very dry. As I ate more it got a little better but I wouldn’t call any bite equals to other fine steaks I’ve had. Char on steak wasn’t great but it was cooked a nice med rare.

Everything was great
Had a fantastic meal and the oysters were great. Joel, our server was fantastic
Excellent food and customer service. Love the relaxed vibe combined with a knowledgeable and friendly staff. No need for pretension making it a very enjoyable dining experience. Not a hand massaged salad in sight!
Amazing service, our waiter explained all options we had. Found us am amazing wine and made sure we liked it before committing. Best meal I have ever had!
This was our first time to Minneapolis and first time visiting Manny's. I don't mind paying high prices for a nice dinner, but the experience needs to match the food prices just as much as the food needs to be on par with the prices as well. While the food was good, the experience fell way short. First, it was my wife's birthday and I let this be known when making the reservation. Her birthday was acknowledged by front of house staff, but not by our waiter. Second, we also had friends there celebrating an anniversary at the same time. They received a chocolate cake on the house and an acknowledgment of their anniversary by the wait staff. We received no such thing and paid for our banana cream pie dessert. Third, we both ordered filet mignon and asked for it to be prepared medium. Instead, both were prepared medium rare and we're still bloody. For a steakhouse, I expect better. Fourth, our waiter never checked on us until we finished our dinner and was ready to offer us dessert. Then, after receiving the check, we waited another 15 minutes just to pay. For a steakhouse that is a four $$$$ steakhouse, it fell way short of my expectations.
Mannyâs continues to set a high bar for all one would hope to experience in an upscale Steak House.
I love everything about Manny's .... except the steaks and wine glasses. After not visiting Manny's in many years, I've been there 4 times in the last year. I love the atmosphere, the sides and the service. Only having one size/shape of wineglass regardless of red or white is disappointing. I know that is a first world problem, but for being arguable the restaraunt that represents Minneapolis, the should have at least 2 types of glasses. Now for the steaks - the presentation of the beef is so much fun. I've done the Bludgeon of Beef, the 85 day dry aged ribeye, the dry aged strip and last night the double porterhouse. I always order my steaks at rare+. Manny's insists on having a very hard char on the outside that makes it near impossible to cut through the meat without shaking the table. That leaves a crust that is too thick for any steak. I order steak for the flavor of the meat, not the crust of the char. Perhaps they should sear it on their grill and finish in the oven. I much prefer Murray's.
Great menu selection. Fabulous quality.
Never fails to amaze the food quality and portion combined with excellent service. Started off with the "Steaken" or better known as the thick cut bacon. Had the bone in dry aged fillet..so rich and succulent... paired with an Orin Swift red blend from their extensive wine selection. Sides were awesome including Cesar salad with anchovies (the only way) potato hash with cheese. When I asked, they did not have truffle butter, but our server made some up for us at the table with some truffe oil. Yep, we'll be back when in town!
