    Exceptional steakhouse. From when I walked in until I walked out the service, food and drink was outstanding. We sat at the bar for a cocktail before being seated and the staff and ambiance were great. I highly recommend Manny’s to anyone dining downtown Minneapolis.

    We had a delicious lunch. We shared three pizzas and an entree called Juk served in a bowl. The jasmine rice in the bottom of the bowl was like a warm porridge. It was so filling on a cold day. The short rib meat on the Juk was very tender. The shared entree was polished off. We opted for a spirit-free drink called El Santo because we were heading to a cookie decorating event afterward. The drink was delicious. The server recommended the drink, and she was spot on. We look forward to returning again.

    Our party of four found a lot to love about Milly’s, from the wine pairs and reasonably-priced pours to the many menu options that worked for every kind of dietary restriction to the desserts and dessert wines. The deviled eggs and bacon-wrapped dates were a great way to start, the flatbreads got raves and we wished we had room to try a cheese and charcuterie boards, too! We did get a chocolate board and crème brûlée for dessert. We’ll definitely return!
