We had a work dinner last night at Twenty Manning and it was fantastic! I realize service has been tough lately...but I can say that this staff was amazing. Best service I've had in far too long. So attentive and great personalities. Warm and welcoming. And the food...OMG! So yummy. We ate family style and tried so many tasty dishes. Mmmmm. And did I mention the delicious herbaceous cocktails?
Wonderful experience. This was our first time here and "Madison" was our server for the evening. She was very pleasant and bubbly throughout the entire evening and the food was delicious! She truly has a wonderful caring and knowledgeable personality that really brings some beautiful energy to the place! If you have her, you're sure to have a pleasant time.The za'atr spice is EVERYTHING and this place puts a Mediterranean spin on even the drinks. The cauliflower is AH-MA-ZING! It comes with these pomegranate seeds on it and the texture and flavor profile is one that I wouldn't even know where to begin to recreate. Impressive! My partner enjoyed the NY Strip and it literally cut like butter!Don't let the size of some of the plates fool you, we were stuffed after trying so many different plates and flavors! This place here is the kind of experience that you sit and take your time with. The bartender did a good job with any drinks as well. The lights are dim but not too dim and the placement of the bar doesn't distract from the rest of the room if you're sitting at a table. The display of various wines is beautiful. The larger plates can take a while so my suggestion would be to put those orders in first before apps but I love knowing that the food is made from scratch! Fresh. With love and attention. The way food should be treated.The atmosphere was very comfortable and the general manager Steve made sure to check that everything was pleasant as well. With the combination of such warm, inviting staff and the delightful food, we will most certainly be returning again!Thank you guys for helping us have what was an awesome evening! Definitely the classiest and most unique, tasty Mediterranean spot in Philadeliphia!
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.
We ate at Twenty Manning this evening, dining at a sidewalk table. The food was delicious Mediterranean cuisine, heavy on unique vegetables presentations. The service was attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience with old friends.
This place was amazing pre-pandemic. Now with new ownership (WASSERMAN of Rouge and the old Audrey Claire), service is HORRIBLE and rushed, and the food is too salty and overpriced. Beware this place or anything Rob Wasserman owns. This owner also is known for disrespecting staff. I wish I could give zero stars!
Delish small plates
Everything we tried here was amazing. The Salmon poke had so many delicious flavors from start to finish. The braised short rib was fabulous. All the right ingredients to make sharing a meal here great. The Chef ,owner and staff actually know what they are doing when comes to making your visit here a pleasurable, tasteful dining experience!! I definitely recommend a visit here. Let your tastebuds try a some delicious flavors! Oh and I have to add the bathrooms we're clean and decorated so cute. Cleaniness in a restroom is important! I will absolutely be going back!
Tried this place out on a whim- cocktails are unique and excellent, food was excellent. The atmosphere is perfect for a charming night. Will definitely come back. The lamb shank tagine was so so good.
First time back here after the reopening. The food is amazing! We had the beet dip, short rib hummus and fatoush. Salmon and chicken skewers in addition to this were perfect for dinner. What’s driving my review is the inconsistency in service, we had great help in ordering when we arrived but then really didn’t see our server for drinks again/water refills/check. Definitely understand the issues around staffing right now but there were quite a few empty tables and we just felt forgotten. If I went again, I’d sit at the bar for sure.
Seems like it’s under new ownership - they redecorated the inside and changed the menu. The menu is odd - too small “skewers” or too big “entrees for two” (so in the middle of a pandemic, you are forced to share a plate - eek!). Despite being one of the only tables there, the service was subpar. Food was disappointing.
