Manhattan Steak & Seafood Restaurant Review

: Manhattan Steak & Seafood is a sophisticated place off the beaten path to drink strong cocktails and enjoy notable wines and refined French-California comfort foods. The classic yet sumptuous décor encompasses two main dining rooms, tiny and intimate. The lunch menu includes the Manhattan French dip with sweet caramelized onions, tangy Swiss cheese and pungent horseradish cream. Afternoon tea offerings of Champagne, mini sandwiches, and hot and cold teas allow patrons a unique way to soak in the stylish surroundings. At dinner, start with a specialty cocktail like the refreshing pomegranate mojito. Then try the slightly sweet French onion soup, fresh oysters or the palate-opening beet salad. Main courses may range from mango-glazed Chilean sea bass to Wagyu filet mignon. Or get adventurous and try the herb-crusted wild boar chop or the wild elk rack. The wine list is mostly comprised of French and California producers, along with some by-the-glass selections. Don’t feel like driving all the way to Orange? Manhattan has a complimentary shuttle for guests located anywhere in OC.

Fantastic Little Gem

I was recently here with my husband. We were very impressed by the decor of the restaurant. It is gorgeous inside. We came here on a suggestion from a friend, and I have to say, I was doubtful at first. The location just threw me off. But once we were inside, I was definitely impressed. The French onion soup was just like they do it on the east coast. The duck breast was just perfect. Too many times with duck breast it comes out too rubbery- this one was heavenly! You might not know about this place or you might not think it too be that special or out of the ordinary if you have not been a guest recently, but I am pretty sure that you will be very happy if you choose to dine here.
 
Loved it!

This place is so nice inside. I was shocked at how great it looked. The staff is so friendly and was there when needed. I thought I would try the couscous chicken consomme and I was not dissapointed. It might have been the best soup I have ever had!
I was told to try the Colorado rack of lamb, from a friends experience, and it was to die for. I suggest the rack of lamb to anyone. Also, we went on a Monday night so there was no corkage fee.
If you aren't to far from here it is worth coming in! We loved it!!!

I came on a Thursday night and sat in the lounge for a while with my friends. The bartender "Tra" mixes the best drinks! They have live entertainment from 6pm to 9:30pm. It was great. We got the oysters and they were out of this world. You didn't need to add anything to them and they were displayed so beautifully. I also loved the pizza. They have happy hour from 3pm to 7pm and the lounge menu is 1/2 off. Later, we got a table in the "wine cellar" room and the staff was very professional and trained well in fine dining (they weren't stuffy at all). My friends got the Chilean sea bass, the salmon, and the wild game. They were delicious! I got the lamb chops and not only were they beautiful to look at, they were prepared perfectly and tasted awesome. I am definitely coming back again!
