There was plenty of seating on the shady patio, but it was really hot outside, so we opted to wait for a table inside. We had a drink and watched the NBA finals on the TVs (there was no sound so it wasn't noisy). I tried the Mustang Sally cocktail and it was well balanced and delicious! We were seated for dinner pretty quickly. The only problem I had was deciding what to order. The luau shrimp salad? Meatball sub? I finally decided on the lobster mac and cheese. While the portion wasn't large, it was delicious! Creamy and mild with fresh lobster (not fishy) and garlicy breadcrumbs. My husband got the ribeye and was thin but large with great seasoning and veggies. I'm not a big steak fan but I really liked it. We ended up grabbing some beignets to go for the kids, which were really tasty and came with 3 dipping sauces (our favorite was the Berry, although we ended up eating most of them without sauce). The atmosphere was upscale, but very casual, quiet and fun. We saw families with young children, couples on dates, and friends enjoying a meal together. It was the perfect vibe that we were looking for, comfortable, but classy. And the food was high-quality and tasty. We will definitely be back!

A varied menu from appetizers to lunch and dinner items. These chefs have perfected every dish. Big portions... no skimping at Manderes. Top notch ingredients and just the right amount of seasoning. Special rotating dinner selections too. Just so many choices. The Mongolian pork chop is outta this world. The simple Angus burger is served between sourdough buns. No mushy regular hamburger buns. The fries are crisp, hot and plentiful. Salads, sandwiches, and mouth-watering appetizers. Someone is getting hungry just writing this!:) Happy Hour 3 to 5, Monday thru Friday. All the beer and wine selections are quality... with a capital Q. No crap on tap... as they say. Popular crab cakes, calamari, wings and more. You cannot go wrong. The customer service remains the best in the restaurant world. Seriously. Long time peeps who are pros. Every single one is incredible. You have their attention from start to finish. Hard workers. Manderes is not fancy. Ambiance is a cool, small, cozy area which includes a bar. Tables and high tops finish out the mix. Cool guitar memorabilia accents the walls and adds a cool vibe. And the juke box! Lotsa happy diners loving it all. Manderes has carved out quite the foodie reputation. It is not to be missed! Thanks, Brent, for providing a sensational community spot to meet, eat and be happy! Definitely locally owned! My lovely waitpersons: Amanda Angi Diego Ian Jen Mo Mandy Tyler Love you all!

Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised to find what looked and felt like a local upscale pub with a large bar with TVs and various tables scattered around. The menu offers something for everyone, and the portions are generous. I opted to start with the garlic bread with a dipping sauce, followed by the Southwestern chicken salad entree special. The bread crust had garlic baked onto it, and the dipping sauce was huge and flavorful. The Southwestern salad exceeded my expectations. It was huge! The chicken was grilled and blackened and cooked to perfection and served on a bed of fresh lettuce with black beans, chopped onions, and blue cheese with a spicy dressing that was fantastic. The dish was so good that I'm tempted to go back tomorrow night. If you're looking for a casual dining spot with a friendly local vibe and amazing food, Manderes fits the bill! I appreciated the fact they had a couple of NA beer options along with a nice selection of beer on tap. Highly recommend!

I was torn between two drinks, and the bartender was super sweet, she let me sample both and even offered a third based on what I told her I liked. I wish I remembered what it was called, but her recommendation was on point: super fresh, great flavor, and exactly what I didn't know I needed. The food looked solid from what I saw others eating, so I definitely want to come back and actually try it next time. The back patio was also a whole vibe! Lots of seating, games, and great energy. It was freezing the night we were there, but the big fire pits made it totally bearable. I can only imagine how fun this place is in the summertime. Hanging out here with friends on a warm night? Definitely on my list.

I've watched many people seat themselves at tables and leave 10 minutes later because no one asked them what they wanted. Yes, the decor is stuck in the 90's, but I actually like it. The double smash burger I had was excellent. The bun they use is awesome and they charred the patty perfectly. It tasted way better than Fleming's Prime Steakhouse burger I had last week, that's for sure. The thick steak-cut fries are awesome, too. Over salted but nothing a cold beer can't cut through. Highly recommend their smash burger.

If it wasn't for this "mission," there's a good chance I wouldn't have wandered in. I LOVE Sutter Street, but honestly I don't live nearby and don't have many reasons to come here. That said, I'm thankful for the mission and glad I dropped by. It's a super cute place and the bartender had a nice relaxed chill vibe to her. This is where I'd normally drop her name and give her kudos - but I didn't get her name. I thought her name would be on the receipt, but it wasn't! I assume her name isn't "Shift Night N" anyway, which would be weird - but that's what is listed for "server". Anyway... the burger... I liked it. I liked it a lot. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked (not expected or demanded by me) - but an observation that I toss in for comparison purposes. It was cooked to a solid medium, which is fine with me. Caramelized onions were standard - nice - but the tomato and lettuce were listed as 'optional' - and the bartender (Shift Night N) asked me if I wanted them. I opted in. The bun was above average - definitely a notch above the typical mass-produced buns often used elsewhere. I opted for sweet potato fries. They had good flavor. Personal preference-wise... I would have liked them to be cooked a smidge more. If/when I come back, I'll probably ask them to be crispy-er. Overall, thumbs up! I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try other things on the menu. #burgers

About 3 weeks ago after running into our Neighbor we had mentioned that we just got back from going…read moreout to eat and she had mentioned the same thing. Said that she came back from going to Corner Tavern & Grill and that the food was really good and that we should check it out. Being that we wanted to check out the Hype, we made our way down to the Restaurant today since it was only 3 miles away from where we lived. After walking into the Restaurant we were greeted by a Host and our Waitress asking if we wanted to just find a place to sit down. After finding a spot and sitting down we got comfortable and started looking over the menu. Our Waitress came over and started asking us about if we knew what we wanted to drink and my wife ordered a Mr Pibb and I ordered a Barq's Root Beer. After a few more minutes later the Waitress came back and asked us if we knew what we wanted to eat. I gladly mentioned that we would like the Bavarian Pretzel with the Beer Cheese and the Spicy Mustard. The waitress then mentioned she would bring over regular Mustard in case neither dipping sauce worked for us. A little while later our Bavarian Pretzel Sticks showed up and let me tell you they were hot, and very fresh. After dipping 1 Pretzel stick into the Beer Cheese, I had noticed that it had little pieces of Jalapenos in it and let me tell you that was very delicious with just a kick of heat. The Spicy Mustard on the other hand is like your normal Dijon Mustard type with a lathering of Horseradish and when you dip your Pretzel Stick into that, WHEW.. you're going to get a kick of spice and it may even help you open your sinuses. Probably about 5 minutes later our Waitress then came back and had asked how the Pretzel Sticks were and to our response was "Very delicious" and then we put in our order for a Salad to split and the Prime Rip Stromboli. The salad came out and let me tell you that the Gorgonzola Salad Dressing was so good on top of our Salad and when the Steak Stromboli came out it was hot, fresh and the Dipping Sauce was a Marinara sauce. From the beginning of our Experience to the food, to the friendliness of the Staff, and not just our Waitress because there was a food runner who ran out the food who was just as friendly, which is the main reason why I am giving this place 5 Stars. There was a whole bunch of other items on the menu that we wanted to try but that will be for another time. And oh by the way the Prime Rib Stromboli is Huge! If you have a Salad, the Bavarian Pretzels and then that, you will most certainly be full and you will walk away from that place very satisifed. So grateful that our Neighbor mentioned this place, can't wait to come back and try other food items.

It just always makes me laugh when staff likes to make you feel bad for not having a reservation. Like, come on... there were SO many open tables throughout the entire 90 minutes we were there. Anyway-- I got a glass of the house red wine for the happy hour special, it was good. And we got to squeak in an order of the Ahi Nachos, which I believe are only offered on Happy Hour, and OMG, they were SO good. We were still talking about them the next day. The "nachos" were like a fried wonton. And just all around, the entire dish was delicious! Spicy jalapeños, quality tuna. Go to this place, even JUST for these nachos. The spicy crab (or lobster, I can't remember) bisque, was also really good. I'd recommend it. Mildly spicy, not crazy. My coworker got the caesar salad, and was very underwhelmed with it. For my entree I got the Pesto Scallop pasta. The scallops were overcooked, and underwhelming, in size. But I acknowledge that could just be the season. Doesn't excuse the fact that they were overcooked. The pesto sauce was yummy! I give this place a solid 4 stars, and would definitely revisit next time I'm back in the area. Ahi Tuna Nachos get a 5 star, though, for sure. Thanks for hosting us!

We were seated in the patio in the shade, so it wasn't too insufferably hot on this very sunny, warm day. Jägerschnitzel is my go-to at German restaurants and the one at Kathrin's is one of the best I've had to date. My plate was generous and the jägerschnitzel was tender, the spätzle was too, and the mushroom gravy that topped the jägerschnitzel was just so good. I cleaned my plate. I also got one of their small pretzels to start the meal and loved how soft and chewy it was, and the mustard had a good punch of spice. I thought it was cool that their pretzels are sourced from a local Bavarian factory. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the dressing on the green salad that comes with the jägerschnitzel. I'm really not sure what it was and can't say I've had anything else that tastes like it before, but it was strong and I was good after just a few bites. However, that wasn't enough to ruin the meal for me with as good as that jägerschnitzel was. While I was only here because I was visiting family who live in the area and recommended this place, I'd be happy to return if my family wanted to come back on a future visit.

The Monk's Cellar holds a different kind of space less about routine comfort, and more about meals…read morethat feel worth sitting down for when the occasion calls for it. This visit took place on a Thursday morning, May 28, 2026. My friend and I were there to celebrate his birthday, which already set a different tone for the experience. The restaurant was quiet. Being early in the day, there was no rush or noise, just an easy stillness throughout the space. We chose to sit on the patio, which felt like the right decision given the weather. I can't fully speak to the interior atmosphere, since I joined my friend directly outside. Service was handled by a staff member whose name I unfortunately don't remember, but whose presence stood out throughout the meal. She was attentive without being intrusive, consistently present at the right moments, and delivered a level of service that felt natural and well paced. The meal began with a rabbit dish ordered by my friend. It was my first time trying rabbit, and it left a strong impression. The preparation was juicy and well seasoned, with a depth of flavor that made it memorable. Looking back, that first experience with rabbit also set a high expectation for any future rabbit dish I might order myself. My main was The Monk's Cellar burger, one of the restaurant's signature items. I ordered it with avocado. It initially arrived without it, but once requested, it was brought out promptly and it was some of the most cleanly presented avocado I've seen served alongside a burger. The burger itself delivered exactly what it was meant to. The beef had a solid, grounded flavor, and what stood out most were the pickled red onions, which added a sharp acidity that balanced the richness of the meat. The structure was simple, but effective, and everything felt intentional rather than overworked. With the avocado added, it became a more rounded and balanced bite. It's the kind of burger that doesn't try to reinvent itself it just executes well. For me, it remains a staple when I return. For dessert, we asked the server to recommend her personal favorite, which led us to a caramel cheesecake. It turned out to be one of the most memorable cheesecakes I've had. The cheesecake itself carried a rich caramel flavor, but what made it stand out was the combination . Each bite brought together cheesecake, crispy banana, a hint of chocolate or cacao, and nuts that added texture and contrast. It was sweet, but controlled complex without feeling forced. Definitely one of my favorites dessert I had ever tried. I won't go into detail about the drink, as I ordered something off menu (Salty Dog) but good. By the end of the meal, the impression remained consistent with previous visits. The Monk's Cellar is not a restaurant I go to constantly, but every time I do, it delivers. I've ended up here more than once for celebrations, including birthdays, which says something about the role it plays for me. Not every restaurant needs to reinvent itself. Some earn their place simply by being reliable when it matters. This one has consistently been that. Daniel Salguero.
