We drove by and even parked in front of this restaurant and we would say we need to try Manna sometime. It is rather small and you need to make reservations, especially on weekends. The Chef uses fresh local ingredients available for that day. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and we will definitely be back there sooner... More

After Phun for lunch, we ended up at manna for dinner. 1) Delicious! 2) good service 3) nice wine and 4) did I mention delicious? We went straight to the food, a tuna tartar special and the Puerco Rico pork belly for appetizers, with sauces and accompaniments, then scallops with little potatoes and mushrooms and a pea and jalapeno sauce...

Made reservations for 4 of us, including friends visiting from out of town. The restaurant and staff are very chic and welcoming. Wish we had arrived earlier to enjoy a cocktail at the bar before sitting in the dining room. We had heard such rave reviews about their imaginative cocktail list so we started with a few selections off the... More

Over rated and over priced. Terrible service, quality, quantity, etc. The people who give it such high ratings obviously have never eaten at a restaurant without a drive-thru before. Not to mention the stories about one of Manna's owners in the 'Crime' section in the local paper....

Beautiful restaurant with fresh farm to table food. My family of 4 enjoyed different entrees and we were all very pleased. I had the daily fish selection which was mild, tasty and cooked perfectly. My husband had 2 appetizers, the mussels and the steak tar tar. Both were outstanding. Atmosphere was cozy but not stuffy. Service was attentive and staff... More

My Mom has wanted to try this restaurant for quite awhile, but she is a very picky eater and was intimidated by the menu. I wanted to take her for her birthday and took a minute to e-mail the owner for a special menu request. He responded promptly and helped us to find a meal that would suit her needs.... More

A friend and I took a overnight get-a-away trip to Wilmington and Manna was the highlight. We had the "Pork and Beans" appetizer, which was delicious. The lamb entree was also very good. The portions were large and the food was good, but our server made the evening. She was attentive and knowledgeable. She gave us great recommendations and made... More

The whole menu is based on selling rural low cost staples as high dollar fare. there portions are small and there stove is too cold. The technique and texture doesn't warrant the price.

Manna is not only my favorite restaurant in Wilmington, NC, but it is also one of the best dining experiences i have had in North America, Europe, and the Caribbean. I like everything about this place. Atmosphere, service, attentiveness, quality, attention to detail, friendliness, and more. I took my family there for dinner on Christmas Eve Eve and everyone raved.... More
