Reviews
Highly recommend! I had an incredible dinner at Mána. The food was delicious—honestly, everything we ordered was great, but the tzatziki avocado was indescribable. I could have happily eaten just that all night! It was served with perfectly warm pita bread.
The portions were very generous and the meals were fabulous. Beyond the food, the drinks were on point and the vibe was excellent, complete with live music.
What really set the experience apart was the service. Brianna was an amazing server, and the fact that the owners and the chef made a point to stop by our table made the evening feel so personable. Dimitri truly has a gift! If you’re looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the spot.
We’ve been to the Greek islands several times and mána is the total package (atmosphere, music, food, hospitality)… it all sends me right back on vacation, but a few blocks from home.
That said, mána is a true authentic Greek experience and I can’t recommend them enough. We booked our restaurant week table this morning and I’m super excited for the visit.
I’ve been wanting to check out more spots in the suburbs and mána did not disappoint. Every bite was an explosion of complex flavors. We enjoyed cocktails, croquettes, sea bass crudo, chargrilled octopus, and tzatziki avocado. everything hit, zero notes. That bass was one of the best crudos I’ve ever tasted. 50/10. Honorable mention to the tzatziki that we continued to dip our dishes in throughout the meal. We finished with the rice pudding creme brûlée which put me right to sleep. I cannot wait to return and try some of the more indulgent entrees. Biggest thank you to Fernando and Kimi who made us feel safe and taken care of.
We started out with cocktails. Of course, the guys had old-fashioneds and the girls had martinis. My cocktail was so tasty with mezcal, prickly pear, thyme liquor and lemon. The four of us shared the fava dip, the saganaki and the grilled octopus appetizers. Olives, grilled bread and pita bread were brought to the table as well. The fava dip was flavorful, the octopus grilled to perfection and the saganaki a huge disappointment. This classic Greek cheese dish is usually flamed at the table so it’s melty gooey goodness. Unfortunately, there was no flaming and it was served in a wedge instead of a square or rectangular shape. It had a crust to it that was crispy and when you cut into it was dense and not soft and gooey. I can understand if the restaurant does not want to be flaming cheese at the tables, but it should be done in the kitchen and served immediately so it’s not hard and dense. It was a total miss for me.
Next up salads. My friends had a traditional village salad and my husband and I shared the charred beets with almond ricotta. The village salad was as you would expect, and the beets were excellent although could have been cut into smaller pieces and served with more ricotta for the amount of beets on the plate.
For dinner, I had the charred wagyu meatball appetizer, which I could only eat one. They were so good and huge! My husband had the wood fired branzino (delicious) with a side of vegetables. The fish was moist and flaky. Our friends ordered the Greek butcher board, which was huge and had all sorts of meats with crispy potatoes and accoutrements. The four of us could’ve split that board and there would still be leftovers.
At the end of the meal, Kristin brought us shots of Greek Lightening, a cinnamon honey liquor, I believe she said the owners made. It tasted like a smooth Fireball shot. Nice touch!
Please note that the restaurant adds a 3% service fee to their bills. Unfortunately, the restaurant charged us $20 on a $400 bill, which was an upcharge to a 5% service fee, not the 3% as stated. I did reach out to the restaurant after discovering it the next day, and they wanted to correct it asking for my charge card, but it wasn’t worth my time to try to correct this. I just wanted them to know that they need to be careful and they made an error. I’m sure that this service fee is not manually entered, so I wonder how many people are being charged more on their service fee not catching it like me until after the fact, if at all. More money in their pockets?
with that said, I will definitely be back to Mana. I loved most everything about it.
