Manahatta Temple Street Reviews Summary

Atmosphere and Venue

Pros:

• "Manahatta is such a beautiful bar. The aesthetics were gorgeous."
• "Brilliant venue and music for a celebration."
• "What a very stylish place this is. It's less an eating venue, more a fancy cocktail bar."
• "Great atmosphere, food was delish, our waitress worked really hard to look after us and the rest of her tables."
• "Great atmosphere, clean, great drinks choice."
• "Great venue for photos and Instagram/TikTok fans."

Cons:

• "Most of the place was empty with just 8 customers as such there is zero excuse for lack of customer care."
• "The service however was a little slow by the host today and we didn't get a check back to see if we wanted more drinks."
• "The music was great, however the food let the whole experience down, we were a large party so we had been advised to pre order however 6/12 meals pre ordered were unavailable due to insufficient stock."
• "The venue itself is nice but they have a severe staffing issue. The staff are more interested in gathering in groups and gossiping than servicing customers."
• "Very loud and noisy, not a place for a drink and a social chat unless you enjoy shouting."

Service

Pros:

• "Service was 100/10, faultless. Little did we know she was new otherwise we would’ve thought she had work there for a while based on her fun and top-notch service!"
• "Despite the venue being very busy, our host kept the drinks flowing and ensured we had everything we needed."
• "Staff very friendly and helpful. Massive shout out to Allison who looked after us so well."
• "The staff deserves a big shoutout they went above and beyond with their attentiveness and kindness, making us feel truly appreciated."
• "Ash our main server was absolutely brilliant - he was polite, attentive and just overall a smashing waiter - so friendly and welcoming."

Cons:

• "Most of the place was empty with just 8 customers as such there is zero excuse for lack of customer care, nobody checked on me to see if everything was okay."
• "The service was slower than expected considering the food (for a big group) was ordered in advance."
• "The service was poor unfortunately. A shame because the bar and food was lovely but the time waited between courses and to be acknowledged by staff was poor."
• "The venue itself is nice but they have a severe staffing issue. The staff are more interested in gathering in groups and gossiping than servicing customers."
• "The service from the bar and kitchen was extremely slow. More staff? Never seen anything like it in my life?"
