Beautiful restaurant! Beautiful dishes! Everything surprised me, tasted amazing, and was presented so well! Currently writing this from my table because I was just so excited to talk about this place. Will definitely be back!

My partner and I got two drinks, the honey dew me and the huckleberry drink. The honey dew me is exactly what I aim for when I order drinks, no complaints, not too tart, not too sweet, well balanced, delicious. The huckleberry was tart and refreshing, just what my partner wanted.

For lunch we split a bunch of small plates. We got the smoked albacore dip (which was my partners favorite), the ocean trout tartare (which was my favorite, so refreshing), the sunchokes, and the bbq oysters. While I’m glad I tried the oysters and they were good, that was the only dish that we agreed that we wouldn’t order again. But everything else we will definitely be coming back for. Everything was fresh and refreshing and flavorful and fun in texture. Loved how the chickpeas added a crunch to the sunchokes. The bread and crackers were able to stand alone by themselves in the dip and tartare dishes. Absolutely loved our meal and will be back for more!

Ambiance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Located in the Arts District, the space is beautiful — semi-outdoor and filled with natural light. There’s an art gallery right next door, and the moment you walk in, it feels very artsy and thoughtfully designed. Super photogenic and definitely a place you’d want to take pictures.

Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Honestly exceeded expectations. I didn’t come in with super high hopes for the food, but everything was surprisingly good. The cream biscuit was a standout — probably the crispiest biscuit I’ve ever had, and it paired perfectly with the butter and apricot jam. The salmon with bread was also delicious, and the bread itself was a big plus — very crisp and well done.

Overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Came for the vibes, stayed for the food. A rare case where a “pretty brunch spot” actually delivers on taste. Would definitely come back again.

Out doors yet indoor canopy during rain! But don’t wait for the rain Enjoy now! Found street parking metered 2hr for 3$. Each bite so savory you want to relax and enjoy it before going to the next. Sat next to a beautiful pot.

We had a wonderful experience at Manuela a few months ago while celebrating a friend’s birthday, and we were genuinely impressed by the quality of the food and the menu. Based on that visit, we decided to return for dinner.

Unfortunately, this experience started off poorly. I accidentally selected the wrong reservation time and was unable to change it through OpenTable, which directed me to call the restaurant instead. Over the course of two hours, I called 19 times and was never able to reach anyone. Since a credit card was already on file, we did our best to arrive as close to the original time as possible, and thankfully we were still seated.

The food itself was disappointing. The cornbread was subpar, the duck breast was decent, but the small sliver of mashed potatoes served alongside it felt confusing and incomplete. The burger bun was completely burnt (see photo), and overall the dishes lacked the quality and execution we remembered from our prior visit. Everything felt very average.

All things considered, this did not feel like a $200 dining experience. Given how much we enjoyed our first visit, this was especially disappointing

We had a great server with top-tier menu item recs! The food, especially the Barramundi and Creamy Biscuits, we’re delicious! Highly recommend for a cute lunch date.

I’ve been to both brunch and dinner and Manuela always delivers. Great food, beautiful atmosphere within an art gallery. The popover benedict is superb and the albacore dip is always a must get. It can be a little pricy but it’s a nice place to take guests from out of town for a uniquely LA vibe.

I’ve dined at countless restaurants, but the service here truly stood out. Every member of the staff was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful I felt like royalty. Instead of being assigned to just one server, the whole team looks after you, making sure your water is topped off, checking in on your experience, and anticipating what you might need without ever being intrusive.

Great food, incredible staff, and a beautiful venue an outstanding experience from start to finish.

Loved this restaurant including the vibe. Impressed with the albacore spread served with a bold rice cracker that was so large , you broke off a piece at a time and spread the delicious tuna. Outstanding! Also the little neck clams in a rich broth served with delicious toast. I never wanted this to end! Try the BBQ oysters , you will want to order this again and again. So yummy! The cheesecake was very unique with a topping of

Fresh green plants everywhere, ample seating, great lighting and wonderful, knowledgeable plus friendly service. And the food is delicious. I would watch out for those delicious, buttery, flakey, rich, heavenly, satisfying house made biscuits with the side of honey butter!
