    Our family of 5 were there for Christmas Eve dinner. We had reservations at 5:15 pm and were seated promptly. The service was very nice and took our drink orders and appetizer orders right away. We've been here many times before and had always enjoyed the ahi taco and calamari. This time I also had a Caesar salad which was good. The bar ran out of Bombay so could not have my usual Bombay tonic but substituted Tanqueray which was fine. The entrees included the Duke's fish, steamed fish and shrimp in the banana leaves, a filet medium rare and the seafood hot pot. And of course, you can't finish a meal without Hula pie. Our only wish for Christmas: have Prime Rib like they have at Duke's Huntington Beach. Otherwise, the experience was enjoyable and we shall be back.

    We have been coming to Manhattans for years, we always sit at the same two tables, and usually have exceptional service .Our waitress this time seemed as though she didn’t want to be at work. When we asked questions about the entrees she responded with sarcasm as if we were stupid and didn’t offer suggestions of any kind. It was a very special birthday that we were celebrating which made the service even more of a disappointment.
