The best restaurant in La. Every dish was incredible and the service is always superb. Cannot recommend enough. It not only lives up to the hype, it surpasses it!

Manuela in LA’s Arts District was a highlight of our visit—terrific food and superb service. The barramundi sea bass and signature venison burger were outstanding. Don’t miss the Archie cocktail or the tequila with macerated yellow peppers. And coming from Southerners, trust us: the biscuits are to die for! We’d happily return.

One of our favorite meals out in a long time -and we eat out a lot! Food is delicious - had the rainbow trout with creamed spinach. Trout was cooked to perfection and the spinach was delicious. Grilled bread with butter and cheese was great - Perfect char on the bread. I love the wine list. Smaller production delicious - selected with care and reasonably priced. Love the vibe on the river. Oh - and service was AWESOME. Definitely going back. Looking forward to trying the Fried Fish sandwich which apparently is on mondays?? YUM

This isn’t just a meal… this is an EXPERIENCE. From start to finish the food will exceed all expectations and the staff’s presentation of each course comes from a place of passion and knowledge. This will be my new date spot… I’m still thinking about the food I had and I want to get back there immediately.

We had heard about this restaurant and decided to try it out for our anniversary. We were treated so kindly and welcomed with bubbles to celebrate our day. The food was delicious. My husband told our daughter that the best potato dish EVER is at this place. We really enjoyed our meal and the bottle of Cava. We will definitely be there again.

Definitely coming back. Fairly compact dining area, but nice and open. Our server Ian was on point, very friendly, and was helpful with menu insights. We had the Caesar and scallop cake for openers. Great combo. They had a special "Dever steak" cut which I sampled, and it was fantastic. Seasoned really well, and multiple forms garlic garnish. My wife went mushroom risotto, which was also done exceedingly. Scalloped potatoes as a side was also a great call. Overall, terrific experience. Definitely a trip back.
