Serving a wide range of vegetables, grains, fish, and game, Manuela also features an exemplary bar program, which serves classic cocktails using house-made bitters and tonics. Local beers are on tap, while the carefully selected wine list is designed to pair with the smoke and acid at the heart of Manuela’s menu.

    Recently my partner and I held our wedding reception at Manuela, and it was truly magical. The team worked with us to create the perfect chic, elevated farm to table evening. Hidden in the back garden, our guests felt like VIP as they entered the location, passing amazing curated art and a lively scene at the actual restaurant, (the restaurant is amazing and another hidden gem of the Arts District). With a perfect night under the stars, we sipped in the private garden with a lovely satellite bar and the team created some amazing cocktails, with fresh infused herbs from the very garden we were celebrating in. The food was a hit as well, exploring elevated fare with some Southern influence. The biscuits and the chicken really provided the wow factor. With speeches and some great music, we created new memories that everyone will take with them. This place was complimented throughout the evening, which made us feel good. The events team worked with us from food to floral to table set up and nothing was forgotten. When we arrived, the night was set. Thank you Manuela for a magical and memorable time.

  • Highly recommend-amazing taste, perfect service.
