    The flavors on this visit were completely flat. The filet steak had absolutely no flavor and the service was no where near the level of our first visit. We were left disappointed.

    We enjoyed our family dinner night out at Mankas Grill. The food was delicious as always. We had the spinach dip with bread, truffle fries, Ora king salmon, rib eye short ribs, and chicken pasta along with some peach bread pudding. Amazing! Our server was very attentive and took care of everything we needed. Thank you! The atmosphere was cool and relaxed because we were down stairs dining. Thank you allowing us to dine at your fine establishments again.

    The ambience is good and the servers were decent, but the food just wasn’t good, outside of the appetizer (bruschetta and honey butter). I had the Fish and Chips, which had no seasoning and my gf’s chicken flatbread crust was soft at the bottom, instead of being crispy/crunchy. The price doesn’t justify the food here. Was pretty disappointed. Will look elsewhere.

    We had a great dinner at Manka’s Grill. Our server Tanner was great- very nice and great with help answering questions about the menu and making suggestions. I had the salmon-delicious and served with tasty vegetables and a quinoa/wild rice mix. My husband had a special-flank steak, which was also excellent. The restaurant is in a nice wine country setting. We’ve enjoyed this restaurant before, and we plan to go back more often!

    Excellent food and service. We had the pleasure of having Jenny a new hire, and she was outstanding. She passed the test of serving a very loud and chatty group celebrating several birthdays. Thank you Jenny for your warm customer service.

    Straight up, the place has really good food, but you will pay for it. A lot. A party of 4, with two cocktails each and two desserts shared was $480 before tipping. That would be OK if the service was worth $480 before tipping. The last couple of times we have been in, our server was not a happy camper at all. We had to ask to have water refilled. Had to ask to clear long empty plates. Had to ask for a dessert menu. One cocktail that was ordered didn't land until a 30 minutes after dinner. We had to ask for to go boxes. Had to ask for the check.... It is a loud place. You can't have a conversation there. There are always large parties. We are really trying hard to support Manka's Corner, but sheesh...after tipping for dinners and a couple of cocktails, it was $550, The only way to eat here is order a $25 burger with fries. Don't have a cocktail.
