Still working out the kinks
Place was jumping..got there at 9 and had no problem getting a table and having a light dinner. Nice atmosphere, clean, and the place has great potential. I could see getting there earlier and spending a couple of hours w/ dinner and dancing. Parking was a little crazy...someone needs to build a parking garage! Great to see so many people out supporting these businesses. LBGT consumers will support business that deliver a good product...and the Manor is doing it.
The "Kinks" Should be Ironed Out by Now
I was at the Manor on a Saturday night, about 11pm. I went to the bartender, $20 in hand, and asked for water. His response: "We're out and the barback hasn't broke any more". I say: "Tap is fine". His response: "My manager says if we serve tap water, we'll get fired". So, I simply left the place and walked down the street to a bar that knows what they're doing. The Manor is a joke. They've been open long enough that this type of thing shouldn't happen.
Brand new, ambitious & charming
This is an ambitious upscale investment in the, now, booming gay community along Wilton Drive. A coffee shop, club, bar, and restaurant, banquet rooms, a stage, and even a pastry case. If you can tolerate some new restaurant glitches, I'm sure these will be worked out. It seems the staff was a bit overwhelmed. I believe they have only been open for a month. I just have to compliment them on their commitment to this wonderful new gay mecca. (my first time here) The thing that most struck me was how respectful everyone was to each other. There was a strange mix because there was the restaurant crowd mixing into the dance crowd coming in, and apparently there was a lesbian comedian on stage earlier and some sort of meeting in the banquet hall, but it all worked. There were all ages. The youngest of twinks to elderly gay couples, a couple of dogs at the outdoor tables, men and women. The dance floor/sound system is probably not the things circuit parties are made of, but more for friends to gather and enjoy. I'm sure the staffing problems will be worked out. Patience and smile ladies. The absolute best looking bartenders in town! (shirtless in the dance floor). If you want to grab a bite and dance with your friends without being mobbed (so far) this is the place. A place you can have a conversation. The balcony upstairs overlooking Wilton Drive was fabulous. The ocean breeze almost made e cum! I sincerely wish them the best of luck!
Mediocre food, nice place
We visited The Manor on a wednsday night and there was nothing remarkable about it. Its a great building and beautiful decor but the food is mediocre at best. Calamari appetizer had no taste, house salad had a great presentation but dressings tasted like cheap bottle dressings. I ordered a burger medium rare with seasoned fries and it came out extreamly well done with regular fries. Waitperson dissapeared so never got chance to return. This is a place that wants to be many things at the same time but unfortunately a good restaurant it is not. For the price it charges, i would go somewhere else.
Exceptional atmosphere, exceptional experience!
I was extremely satisfied with my Christmas dining experience at The Manor; so much in fact, that I immediately sought dinner reservations for New Year's Eve. The Manor was an excellent choice for both occasions.
