So glad to happen to find SubZero back and open this evening! Don't let the name fool you, the…read morevibe is warm. I think I was the third person in, maybe on their soft opening?! Friendly service with great music playing. Got tapas (very reasonably priced) and a cocktail right after work. Sign says they're open 5 to 11 pm (I think Thursday thru Saturday). While part of the Humpy's empire, SubZero's atmosphere much more chill (pun intended) than Humpy's or Flat Top. I'll be back.

You can't get here fast enough. The food, presentation, and service off the scale. Kate, our…read moreserver, guided our selections and she was spot on. Oysters on the half shell have been highlighted by other reviewers, but this gem of a restaurant is so much more. We started with a dozen varietal oysters from the Happy hour menu. After that, he devoured the light clam chowder unlike any other. The shrimp cocktail was divine followed by steak tartare. I chose the beet and arugula salad with pistachios and a goat cheese mixture, and Kate suggested adding the tuna tartare. Inspired! When he saw my beet salad with tuna tartare, we ordered another to split. One of the best dining experiences ever. And ask for Kate.

Some of the best ramen and Japanese dishes that I've ever had. (I've had a lot) This is a seven…read morestar restaurant, with the exception of one thing. The food was perfect. The service was on point. They have a massive whiskey bar downstairs. They have an excellent menu of craft cocktails. They also have excellent mocktails. I will critique their bourbon selection only because they have a number of bourbons that are 18+ years old that they're trying to sell for Scottish and Japanese prices which are based on reality. Bourbon is not any good out of the barrel past 12 to 14 years. Corn is not the same as grains. The sugar is degrade and get dark after 14 years in spite of some companies selling some of their older swill, trying to get rid of it as premium. They were very nice. I gave the bartenders and recommendations of things that actually are worth that kind of money in the bourbon world. There was plenty to find that was not expensive and quite excellent. The only negative? The Host stand at the top of the stairs needs people who have more pleasant personality. How you greet people in the restaurant is absolutely imperative. It sets the tone for the whole meal. The whole experience. They seem to think that their job is to shoot people off because the restaurant is booked, but they do it in a manner that will make sure people don't come back. It's a little too New York curt. Smiling,and some good grace, would not hurt either of them. When they tell you, it's time to be seated, engaging people and making eye contact would certainly also help them look a little more human as well. Do make reservations. Otherwise, the wait time can be very long. Outstanding food! Absolutely worth passing through the gargoyles at the front door

The hostess stand staff is completely incompetent. I showed up with no reservation, expecting a…read morewait but they handled it horribly. First they said they were moving things around implying it would be a few minutes. 15 minutes later I went up and he said 5-10 minutes to wait. 15 minutes later still nothing and they tell me another 30-45 minutes and acted appalled that I had checked in. Not worth dealing with them so I left. Ambiance seemed great but ramen isn't worth rude staff so I left.

This is a great place for gluten free items. Everything we had was delicious. For starters, you…read morecannot go wrong with the sweet potato tots and blackened fried Brussels sprouts. I wasn't really a fan of Brussels sprouts but these changed my mind! The cauliflower crust is amazing, which makes all the pizzas a must try. We had the chicken bacon pesto ranch and roadhouse classic. All the veggies were so good. You really cannot go wrong here! Lavender lemonade and rhubarbie are delicious non-alcoholic drinks. Finishing with the chocolate flourless torte will surely make your evening! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They can get busy, so make sure to check-in so you're not overlooked. The whole restaurant has a great vibe. Lots of fun decorations, license plates, etc. Highly recommended!

Spenard....more like "Spent All Day."…read more They really put the "wait" in wait staff. Waited at least 20 mins for the privilege to order. 4 people eating, my food was cold probably because it was not timed properly. Friend got the same dish, he got butter and jam, I didn't - more unnecessary waiting. Nice ambience, although cold food tasted good. Since no one is taking care of you after your meal you get that I'm trapped here because they won't let me pay anxiety.

*3.5* When it comes to this space where they absolutely…read moreshine is behind the bar. Their whiskey selection, cocktails available, and knowledge are truly outstanding. For me, coming here in the future my place will be at the bar with appetizers. Bar environment is 5/5 As far as the rest goes I think the food is good, not spectacular. 3/5. In the future I think I'd come for an appetizer and a couple of drinks and that's it. I felt the veal was tough on both ordered plates and potentially I would have preferred chicken. That being said the sauce was great. The grappa sauce had amazing flavor and the Marsala sauce also had great flavor. Plus the funghi appetizer was great with the bread. All of it was enjoyable enough for a return visit. This spot has very friendly staff, they move at a classic Alaska pace. Meant for sitting down and enjoying the company of someone you're eating with but not designed for getting in and out the door quickly. Come with the intention to get things as they come and enjoy the ride.

I had the Polar IPA to go with. It's super light crisp n bitter. Free parking, super friendly staff. Except the cute waitress who asked if we were Slush Cup parents!

Wisconsin brick cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, blackened chicken, fresh jalapeños, broccoli, red bell peppers, goat cheese, diced red onions, diced Roma tomatoes, cilantro, and yeti sauce. * Available for dinner only

Now, my first culinary experience with this restaurant was a good one, their cheese burger with honey and whipped Brie?!?!?!?!?! Is a masterpiece disguised as a cheese burger the tater tots on the side? Meh! Nothing to see there. The most mind-binding, disrespectful thing I came across at this establishment is them calling a glorified Little Caesar's quality cheese bread with a side of dipping sauce a "Pizza" if it wasn't enough that this cheese bread was marketed as a "Pizza" which it is not but to call it a Detroit style Deep dish? Unforgivable! I wanted to love this pizza so badly but I cannot allow anyone else to spend $28.00 on a dried out, over cooked order of cheese bread. The service was good until I was given Diet Coke instead of Coke Zero. I swear service recovery is such a lost art. C-

The atmosphere feels like a neighborhood hangout -- relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for anything from brunch to dinner. One big improvement since last year is the menu -- it's expanded and gotten so much better. Kudos to the kitchen! There are more options now, and everything feels more thoughtfully done, with better variety and stronger flavors across the board. We started with appetizers, and the steamer clams were delightfully well-seasoned.. buttered garlic in the white wine-- yum. For mains, the (not pictured) ribeye steak was cooked to perfection requiring no added sauce, pairing perfectly with my rose wine. The ahi tuna was another hit-- the wasabi-mixed sauce with every bite made it better! Portions are generous, and prices feel fair for what you get. Drinks are also a highlight -- solid cocktails (cold & hot), good beer options, and a nice selection of wines by the glass. Service was friendly and attentive, even though the place was busy. It has a lively feel without being overwhelming. Overall, Manhattan Restaurant & Lounge has really stepped up from last year and is now a great go-to for hearty food, good drinks, and a relaxed vibe. Definitely a spot I'm coming back to.

Nice ambiance and service. A little slow at the bar, but we weren't in a rush. Yummy broccoli tacos!read more

Food took maybe 10 minutes not long at all. I got the steak frites. Again the fries were not crispy at all. The steak was good, perfectly medium and I couldn't see the sweet bbq sauce on it but could taste it. The dish is not worth $38 though. I'd rather get a baked potato or mashed potato's than fries for it to be that price. Steak was good but nothing amazing. No ad ons for it. It was pre cut into slices. Did t care for the kale salad it came with either. The fresh horseradish sauce was good though. I also got the frankenberry cocktail. They are very small too.
