Mallie T: Can't beat the foie gras - a perfect, balanced bite. Tender elk melts in your mouth. And the biscuits that come with the meal were a crowd pleaser!
Judith Cheun: Must get the bacon wrapped elk with the corn bread balls. Their hot sauce is to die for.
Amelia Lukiman: We enjoyed our entire experience at Manuela. The space is beautiful and the food was outstanding. A couple of our favorites were the redneck deviled eggs and the chorizo fried egg sandwich.
