All were very good. Austin was our server and he was amazing. He was so friendly and attentive! I was so glad he was our server and it helped to make our night more enjoyable.

The owner runs around taking your orders and making sure everybody is happy. This woman knows how to run a restaurant. The servers were fantastic. We started with the tacos for an appetizer. They were an explosion of deliciousness. I had blackened walleye, which was a special for the evening on a bed of creamed spinach with a mound of delicious mashed potatoes covered with a tomato confit. Unbelievable! My cousin got the pork chop with stir fried noodles and veggies, and it was amazing. We had flourless chocolate cake with coconut ice cream and blueberries for dessert. Their wine list is one of the best I've ever seen. I asked the owner to just pick me something white from Italy and she did not disappoint. I can't wait to come back when I visit in August and I will be working my way through the rest of the menu. There was even music and it was a Monday night. I'm sure this place is packed on the weekends. If you like unique , full of flavor food and great ingredients give it a try.

Soups, salads, burgers, steaks, appetizers, pastas, and the timeless entrees that come with either a soup or salad. In addition, there are layers and layers of martini flavors, mojitos, and even a small mocktail section. The website is robust allowing guests to make reservations in advance along with ordering takeout. Dining in, expect a darker atmosphere due to the supper club vibe. Personally, I like sitting outside in the summer months. The front patio is lovely and it's fun to see the hustle and movement of West 7th. There's also some magnificent hanging flower baskets too. I made a 6:45 pm reservation for a Tuesday and was able to adjust my indoor spot to an outdoor one when I arrived. The service is top notch as staff caters to the customers. I started off with a NA blackberry mojito along with the spinach and artichoke dip which was served with mini toast slices and super fresh and creamy. It was delicious. For my entre, I opted for the meatloaf dinner which came with mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetable and then my choice of soup or salad. I got the house salad with french and blue on the side. The portion was large so I was able to take some home. My server was lovely and attentive. He helped me when I couldn't decide between items and had the perfect balance of checking in and allowing me to do my own thing. My only hardship with Bennett's is that they charge a 3% fee if you pay with plastic which 99% of the world does today. It would be nice if the credit card fee could be removed. Outside of that, lovely all around!!

Not sure why it took so long to make it here but we finally did it. Isa was our wonderful server/waitress who made the night unforgettable. They had a lovely sweet touch by having a happy anniversary card at our table signed by the entire staff. They must know how much I love snail mail. LOL. We were also treated to a complimentary glass of champagne right away. For drinks, I ordered the Hemingway Special which had Rum, Tattersall Sour Cherry, Grapefruit, and Lime. It was delish and in a beautiful cocktail glass. Later in the evening I ordered an Espresso Press Martini that really hit the spot. It included Proper Vodka, Loon Coffee Liquor, North Forest Maple Bourbon Pecan, Creme de Cacao, & French Press. Hubby ordered a glass of the Pinot Noir and then an IPA. For our meal, I ordered the Side Salad and the Moules à la Creme (mussels). The salad was good but just a tad salty for my taste buds. The mussels were some of the best I've ever had. The broth was perfection that I just wanted to sip that up at the very end. They were also great with dealing with my gluten allergy and replaced the sourdough bread (as a side with the mussels) and gave me French fries with ketchup and aioli on the side. Lovely touch. Hubby ordered the Roasted Pork Loin and I even took a small bite of that and it was tasty...came with broccolini. The beet glaze was a great addition and not too overpowering. Last but not least they also brought out a slice of their cheesecake for us to celebrate our big day. Though not completely GFree, I was able to take the filling and eat that. It was great. Highly recommend Manger and can't wait to come back.

I've been fortunate and privileged enough to travel throughout the Western world, both for work and…read moreleisure, and I've been a "cook" since I was 12 and a winemaker. Before going into detail about the menu and service, I want to emphasize that I was disappointed by the restaurant's ambiance. I expected a more French setting, to do justice to its name, Manger. The walls were bare, the seats uncomfortable, and the chairs looked like church pews. I expected more French decor--at the very least, chairs in that style. Even a little French music, which is so lovely and romantic. The croquettes were delicious. I ordered the French fries and was disappointed--they were mushy and tasteless. The aioli was a nice touch, but the ketchup sauce was completely out of place. What I thought was very well prepared was the Trout Veronique. The flavor of the sauce and the clams was absolutely fantastic. As a connoisseur, I have to commend the selection of excellent French wines. It really bothers me when I go to restaurants that claim to be Italian or French but only have California wines. I have nothing against California, but as connoisseurs, we know there are many more options around the globe. I was amazed by the variety of spirits and the house-made cocktails at this place. The Old Fashioned, prepared by Erin, was absolutely delicious. Whenever I go to a restaurant that serves Crème Brûlée, I try it. I have my own Swiss recipe, and I've been disappointed before. That wasn't the case here. The dessert was prepared with the utmost delicacy and had a perfectly smooth texture. The caramel was executed with the precision of a great chef. The service is very professional, and you feel welcomed by their sincere hospitality. Erin is a true professional. See you next time.
