There's no reservations- but when we went, we were seated right away. The service is exceptional. Very friendly, attentive. But the food isn't the best for the portion or price. :/ But I hear the baked goods were exceptional. SMALL PORTIONS!!!!The newly opened Mano has occupied the previous place that was Linguini Fini. It's located in the ever popular and ever expanding foodie haven: L Place. It's a grand open space. Huge, in fact. Apparently, the coffee is famous...and the baked goods. But, ho
The newly opened Mano has occupied the previous place that was Linguini Fini. It's located in the ever popular and ever expanding foodie haven: L Place. It's a grand open space. Huge, in fact. Apparently, the coffee is famous...and the baked goods. But, how does the cooked food fare...Lets see..
2 Cafe Mocha's and 1 Cafe Latte (there's no skim milk here...for those who request it...it's a whole milk type of place)
Jie's Baked Spring Chicken w/ Roasted Potatoes. $118 It was a pretty small portion, a bit dry....but tasted very healthy! Definitely great for the health conscious eaters...
I ordered the Pick 2 salads sides....Butter Nut Squash and Garlic Infused Broccoli. $80. I'm on a diet...but the portion was SO small. I had no idea that's what it meant... :/ Both sides were really tasty though! I loved the juicy, sweet, and healthy butternut squash...But it was practically like eating nothing, my fault on not ordering enough correctly... :/
Scrambled Eggs, Smoked Salmon and Toast $108 Brunch Pick. My mom ordered this...but it came out looking like an smoked salmon eggs benedict. Again, the portion was quite small. And, my mom didn't especially like it. The eggs were cooked well though- fluffy, runny, milky and extremely creamy.
The 3 of us were all still hungry and added an order of Baked Salmon atop butternut squash salad $128. The fish was cooked rather nice. Lightly grilled, juicy and refreshing. Yet again, this was easily split among the three of us with only one bite each. :/ Again, super small portion.
It's not too pricey at all for lunch, but for the 3 of us....eating such small portions...its not the most bang for your buck. Maybe come back for a good convo over the coffee and freshly baked goods. They are still very new...perhaps after a few more weeks...I'm sure this place will get much better!
