Reviews for Twenty Manning in Philadelphia, PA
Great vibe. Food was good when it was good. Though Filet Mignon was overcooked and Entrée plate had to be re fired twice due to... kitchen problems and came out 30 minutes late. Servers having all tables rather than one seemed like it caused issues. Allservers were great but it seemed understaffed and disorganized. Drinks were phenomenal. Read more
The meal was terrific. This place plays around with middle-eastern spices and new techniques without going into the territory of... seeming like a "fusion" or a Europeanized experience. This is definitely middle-eastern flavors and spices with combinationtechniques that feel innovative and yet still comforting. The crispy dolma are memorable, and the fired eggplant was smokey withcomplex flavors. The fish (chard) was perfectly cooked, with a luxurious sauce that didn't overwhelm the flavors of the fish,but definitely gave it a kick. The vibe on the Manning street side outside was relaxed and cosmopolitan. It felt a bit likesitting on a street in downtown Cairo and eating a high-quality meal while people wandered past. We only saw one car on thestreet in the two hours we were there on a Saturday evening. Regarding service, there were no errors, and the pacing of themeal was quite good. It would have been nice for the server to check in a couple of more times, and we would definitely haveordered more if he had, but we were one of the only parties outside. Overall, though, the service was reliable and responsive. Awonderful evening with exciting flavors and an unforgettable ambiance. Read more
Cute spot. Good drinks and food
The place has a great ambience, full bar and neon signage. Defenitely cozy and trendy, great spot for a date. We didn't have... a reservation but were lucky to get seated immediately as it gets very busy. Our service was pleasant and attentive. Weordered 5 small plates and Dorado. Dolma and beets were simply fantastic. We enjoyed everything we tried. All dished wereserved were served with little time in between- just enough to clear your pallet and discuss flavors. We definitely will beback and will be bringing friends over. Read more
Tried this place out on a whim- cocktails are unique and excellent, food was excellent. The atmosphere is perfect for a charming... night. Will definitely come back. The lamb shank tagine was so so good. Read more
Very nice decore and the staff is friendly. The portion sizes are quite large. I will definitely come back for the drinks and... "snacks" but the entrees/dessert were nothing too memorable. The table for 3 in a banquet had a small table circumference, so wedidn't have a ton of room of everything. Read more
Four of us went for dinner and the food and service was quite good. Actually the service was better then the food. Started... with mussels, they were tender and done correctly, then had the cheese ravioli, again, it was good for the price. Others hadthe crab cake, it was fair, shrimp de avilio which was ok at best and other had short ribs. No dessert Read more
The ambience is really nice. Cocktails are 5/5- REALLY GOOD! However, the food is like a 2-3/5. My falafel sandwich and zaatar... potatoes were both really dry. I didn’t enjoy it or finish it. Lacked flavor as well. I’d go again for the cocktails, butdefinitely not the food. Read more
