Manuel's Bread Cafe

Went there for dinner and I ordered the prime rib special. Never had prime rib ½" thick and completely well done even though the server asked how I wanted it cooked. I said medium rare. The chicken piccata was dry and overcooked.
You would think a special would be delicious, it was not.
Their dinner is overpriced and the quality was terrible.
We had New York cheesecake and pistachio cake and both were delicious. From now on we will only eat dessert!

Absolutely fantastic food. Call and make a reservation, or you may regret not doing so. I had the exotic burger with homemade fries and a small salad that all came with burger, my wife had the Salomon cake burger, and our friend had the French dip. Two ice teas and iced moca. Their desserts looked fantastic, but we were too full to indulge. A must try.

My wife and I had not been here in about 2 years and had the time and opportunity to go there over her Christmas break. The food was absolutely delicious and our server was excellent. He suggested dessert and the Banana pudding was to die for. Make the time to go here...you will not be disappointed!!

I expected quality food when I came to this restaurant. The shrimp and grits were awful. The biscuit was hard. The service however, was excellent. Our waitress was superb which made the experience much better.

Way over priced for the quality.
Highly disappointed in less than average tasting food. Dry and no flavor. Presentation looked good… server was ok.
The bread tasted like it was microwaved.
The tomatoes in the caprese salad were thin and old. The salmon had no flavor…The grouper entree was dry…
I could go on. Needless to say, out of the 4 of us… not one of us was impressed by what we ordered.

It’s unfortunate that i have to leave this review. I’m giving it a three instead of a two because my first experience was pretty good. The waitress was pleasant, the creme brulee french toast and fried ravioli were so good. This made me this wow this is a great brunch spot in a quaint neighborhood…could go for a nice walk after. I’ve found a gem!

This second time however, I wondered whether there changed the chef. One of the people in our party is a vegan…they have nothing vegan in the menu and made it plain they don’t care to accommodate anyone vegan. Once I inquired, the waitress’s (Kristen P.) attitude changed. From there it went downhill. I asked for home fries with the creme brulee, she brought out fruit. Ok, no big deal, likely a mistake. Shortly after she dame with a plate of lukewarm home fries. The fruit looked like they didn’t wash it and the “vegan” plate….the person asked for olives, peppers, onions, mushrooms on bread. I wish I took a picture, it looked so sad, they made no effort…at the very least they could’ve toasted the bread or something.

The creme brulee was definitely not as good as it was the first time, burnt areas and they used like the ends of the bread so there wasn’t much moisture.

Truly disappointing as I had to change these reservations in the past and was hoping it would've been enjoyable as we were celebrating a birthday. My child asked if we were going to have cake there…out of the question. They lost our business. The only thing flavorful was the reggae they were playing in the background.

First time here and I enjoyed the ambiance. Service was great and food was delicious. The only thing I wasn’t too fond of is that inside seating is kinda crowded. I felt like I was sitting at the table with the party beside us. Besides this overall experience was good and I will def go back.

Love Manuel’s. Yummy food and coffee! We came for breakfast on Saturday so it was busy and the food took a little longer, but we enjoyed our experience. Do wish there are more diverse menu items and less items that include pork.

We are new to the area and are trying out all the restaurants. This is our worst experience so far.

Every single staff member was hurried and not very polite. The server barely checked on us. We were there two hours with a baby because everything took a very long time. The portions were VERY small. No milk substitute for my latte (lactose intollerant here). The bathroom was horrendously gross. We ended up taking our dessert to go because we were informed early on by the hostess that our table was reserved for someone else at noon (we wanted to leave much earlier I assure you). In their defens3 on this one our reservation was for inside but they accomodated us (with a roll of their eyes, to sit outside).

The ONLY aspect of our visit that was enjoyable was the cake that we couldn't eat until we got home because of the lack of to-go silverware.

I regret tipping the server. I left feeling hungry. I know this is harsh but it is honest. I hope they can clean the place up a bit. The area is very quaint. For the price I really expected more.

The flavor of the food was good. However, they have limited food options for vegan. Loved the place. Just wish that they did more for vegans.
