• private room dinner

  Amazing experience in a private dining room with killer views and an amazing caring and attentive staff. Thank you.

• private dining events

  I’ve been to Manhatta a few times, both for private dining and hosted events, and it’s always a great experience. The panoramic views over Lower Manhattan are hard to beat, especially around sunset or at night. Food is solid—everything I’ve had has been well-executed (though not particularly memorable)—but it’s really the setting that makes this place stand out. You’re paying as much for the view and ambiance as you are for the meal. Service has also been consistently excellent. On one visit, there was a small mix-up with our reservation, but the staff handled it professionally and went out of their way to make things right. Their attentiveness and hospitality really elevated the experience. If you’re looking for an unforgettable view paired with good food and attentive service, Manhatta is definitely worth a visit.

  Private party but food excellent despite size of the group. First rate view of NY harbor and comfortable reception area.

• birthday dinner

  Disappointing Experience at Manhatta: Poor Food and Unprofessional Service I recently celebrated my sister’s birthday at Manhatta, and I must say it was a deeply disappointing experience. We had made a reservation well in advance, anticipating a memorable evening, but unfortunately, that was not the case. To start, the food quality was far below expectations. Each course, from the appetizers to the main dishes, was not only small in portion but also lacked flavor and quality. At $120 per person for a three-course meal, we expected a far superior dining experience, but the dishes were simply unappetizing. Another major issue was their policy regarding outside cake. We brought our own cake for the celebration, but were shocked to find that they charged $8 per person just to bring it in. When we attempted to have the cake sliced and served, they attempted to charge us again, this time $8 per slice. This felt not only unreasonable but also quite exploitative. To make matters worse, there was confusion with our course selection. Despite opting for a three-course meal, we were initially billed for four courses, and only after pointing out the error was it corrected. This left a sour taste in our mouths, as it felt like an attempt to overcharge unaware customers. The service was equally disappointing. When we chose to not leave a tip due to the poor experience, the waiter questioned us about it, which was unprofessional. Tipping is optional, and this kind of behavior was unacceptable. Additionally, the wait staff and hostess seemed frustrated with us for not tipping, which only added to the discomfort. We also faced issues with seating. We had requested a window-side table, but were initially seated farther away and only moved after half an hour, with the condition that we had to leave by a certain time. This disrupted our celebration and left us feeling rushed. In summary, while the view from the 60th floor was indeed beautiful, the overall experience was marred by poor food, unreasonable policies, and unprofessional service. I would not recommend Manhatta for special occasions.
