    The Manchester is a teeny hidden gem in LA. It sits in small building with a couple other businesses, you definitely need to look to find it. The interior is dark and moody, perfect for a date night. I visited with some coworkers and we are big sharers haha, so we got a couple of things to split. We tried the cacio e pepe potato chips and dip, Sichuan chicken wings, the Manchester burger, charred broccolini, and short rib stroganoff. The chips, wings, and burger were all on their great happy hour menu - these items were such a good deal. The burger was classic and simple but yummy. My favorite thing was the stroganoff so so good!

    I see this bar gets crowded for dinner time. I was just stopping by for a quick drink. Would definitely come back to try their food!

    Been here a handful of times. Time to drop a review. Made it here last Friday, during the World Series Game 6 (Dodgers and Blue Jays). No TV's here by the way. Arrived early enough so I found a spot in the lot. not much space and don't park in the KFC lot. Park on the street if you have to. Just be mindful that there are a few displaced encampments on the sidewalk behind the restaurant and you may want to just park over near Bristol Farms and walk over. Service has always been awesome here. It's not a big place so it should be easy enough to keep tabs on the guests. This last visit, even though only me, I was offered a table which I accepted leaving me room - not being stuck with two different parties at the bar. See pics. Food has always been good. Like I said, been here a handful of times. It's likely more because it's very close to home. And I may have forgotten to check in and or take/post pics on a few visits. I'm almost thru the entire menu and even when I've had everything - I'll still make it back. Food is good. Service is great and it's close to home. It's not really comfort food for me but just all around a great experience every time I've come here.

    We sat at the bar to enjoy happy hour which is offered every day from 4-6 pm. Balam was very attentive as we worked our way through cocktails followed by wine and the happy hour chicken wings and steak frites. Wings were flavorful and didn't even need the smoked soy ranch dressing. Steak frites were perfectly medium rare and with fries and baby greens was a full on meal. Prices are in line with portions (especially happy hour) and parking is easy. Pay via the inkind app for discounts. And bonus for no TVs so you can enjoy conversation. Deserving of 5 stars overall.

    Very friendly attentive establishment. The food was okay and the drinks were very strong LOL my steak and fries were cooked perfect. I'd definitely recommend the steak and frites. I didn't care much for the appetizers. Partner ordered their tuna tartare and I ordered their whipped ricotta board. I'd give this another try.

    We were lucky to find this gem. It was hard to find the front door but once in, we immediately knew it was our vibe. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was relaxing. The owner stopped at our table to see how things were going. I think that is a classy move and more owners should do that. We will definitely be back.

    A bit of a hidden gem. The service was excellent! Drinks and food came out quickly. I love the menu. The energy was popping on a Friday night.

    It's hard to pinpoint exactly what type of food joint this--gastropub or just elevated bar with some great offerings. Whatever it is, the food and drinks were excellent here, as befits the price of most of them. There was not one dish that was a letdown or somewhat lacking in any way. My steak frites came out quite medium rare where I didn't wish it could've been more one way or the other. And the other standout dish were the clams, which were a good counterpoint to the beef. Our waiters had us covered and were checking constantly for anything else we might need. And the whole night was just memorable.

    Signature Manhattan.

    Another delicious evening at The Manchester! I've been thinking about their steak frites all week and my friend finally convinced me to go. So good! Happy Hour cocktails to start followed by my desired steak frites. Such a wonderful local restaurant with stellar employees who take the best care of you.

Started off dinner with their famous bread which was highly recommended to me. It was very good, but definitely not the best bread I've had. The bread and butter, unfortunately, was the best part of our dinner. The salad we ordered was good and plentiful. Large enough for 3-4 people to share. Nice and fresh lettuces with a nice vinaigrette. The salmon crudo was also very good and we really enjoyed the "real" wasabi that comes with it. We actually saw them grate the wasabi. Aged king salmon and fresh wasabi, very tasty. The duck was another dish that stood out. Well seasoned and it had a nice sear on the fatty side. Unfortunately, the steak special of the evening. Was a total disappointment. The best part of the steak special were the sides that came with it. Don't come here for the steak! At $6 an ounce, I expect a tender well seasoned steak. Steak was tough, too fatty, and full of sinew. Not worth the price! Tomat, this experience could've been a lot better if the steak was better and the food came out warm. Although the duck was tasty. The steak and duck were cold by the time we got them. Kitchen staff should improve their timing and get the food out as soon as it's cooked. I saw our steak sit in the kitchen while the duck was being finished. I wish the owners of Tomat all the luck in the world. I hope they get their kinks worked out and continue serving their community. For me, I think it's probably a "one and done." Good luck!

It's located inside a hotel and the rooftop was decorated with florals and there were couches near the fire pits. If you sit at the fire pit, the table is going to be super small by the way. I ordered the grapefruit grove, but they ran out of grapefruit so I had to sub for pineapple. The drink still tasted good. My friends ordered the bird of paradise and the LA fruit cart and they liked their drinks as well. For food, we all tried the flora fries, garlic parmesan wings and the ahi tuna poke nachos. This is where it was lacking. I only liked the flora fries. They were crispy and garlicky. However, the garlic parmesan wings were extremely bland. I couldn't taste any flavor, we had to ask for some salt. The ahi tuna poke was not what i was expecting. I literally got 4 small pieces of tuna on some crispy wonton chips and it was $23 lol. Overall, if I were to come back, I would just come for drinks and ambiance but not the food.

We sat at a high table by the window and the kind young bartender took our drink and food orders. We had arrived in time for happy hour, so we chose the charcuterie board and two orders of the salmon sliders, both reasonably priced at $9.50 each. The sliders were spicy and delicious. The charcuterie board was not as impressive. It didn't seem particularly fresh; the grapes especially were a bit wrinkly and sad. We could also have done with a few more pieces of toast to go with the pieces of smoked Gouda and Brie, and the couple slices of salami and prosciutto. There were also a few dates and dried apricots on the board. Well, whatta ya want for $9.50 in L.A., I guess... Overall it was a pleasant and chill experience, and our bartender/waiter was quite attentive even though the place started to fill up the longer we stayed.
