Manhattan

This is amazing place. I visit it every time I come to La Jolla. Every time I try something new from their menu and each time it is amazing. So far, I would strongly recommend NY steak with garlic and halibut. Try their vines, but ask waiter for their recommendation. The main advice- don’t try to guess, their people know which each person would like more... This is the best atmosphere for dinner in small team or for two.

I had the filet mignon Oscar, it was delicious and a very thick cut. With it, was asparagus and carrots and they were both very delicious as well.

Good quality exceeded expectations while enjoying the most beautiful sunset right on the beach. I still remember the fried calamari...ordered a second... Great wine list too.

The fillet Oscar was amazing. Loved the crab and sauce on the fillet. Our waiter was very kind as well. Live music was ripping as well. Great vibes

Headstones aren't cheap, even then I'd splurge the extra bucks if that was the only way I could inform the world that this place is worth the stop From Gretchen the bartender, to the piano player that fakes a smile the whole time while taking the request for Piano man at 9 o'clock on a Saturday. Didn't even mention the food, you already should know by that star count.

Came to celebrate a friend's graduation. Waited for a while to order, but other than that. Everything was 👌. Even though I wasn't paying, the food tasted very expensive (plus the menu doesn't show the price).

Delicious food. Picture is the Manhattan Combo. Lobster ravioli, veal manicotti, shrimp scampi. We had our food delivered to us to our hotel room at the Empress Hotel. 👌🙂

My wife and I came here for our anniversary. It was a Tuesday night, but everything was exactly what you would expect from a high end Italian restaurant. The servers were attentive and knowledgeable, the food was incredible. We loved the atmosphere. It was so cool to go into a piano bar in La Jolla with actual brick walls. The house specialty Cannelloni is a specialty for a reason. We got tiramisu for dessert and it was honestly the best tiramisu we've ever had. We were blown away all around.

Great food, great bar, fantastic entertainment. We went to hear Roman Palacios and we'll go back for the food and drink.

So fun and a great local hang. Live music in the bar combined with delicious cuisine makes the Manhattan a fun drop in on Friday night!

From the moment you walk in your transported into a upscale jazz infused aura. The decor is tasteful and entrancing. The live music was a wholesome touch really drawing you in. Then the food arrives. Of the 4 dishes we ate there was not 1 ingredient spared. Every dish was made with love and care and you can taste it. The customer care is insightful and has great recommendations. I wish there where more stars to give as this place is truly a treat and in a lane of its own. Will be making it one of my staples for the city.

Great little gem!!! Fantastic food and staff and always a good time. I saw a wedding reception, had a flaming steak and enjoyed the piano music for hours

Manhattan's has long been a cherished favorite of ours, a go-to destination for special occasions and hosting out-of-town guests. Last night, we returned to celebrate my bride's birthday, and it was truly a magical evening. The staff greeted us with warmth and friendliness, and the exquisite food never fails to impress. Our waiter was so friendly and quirky, sometimes he got a little busy and we had to ask for him, but nothing that ruined our experience. The enchanting Jazz Band created a captivating atmosphere, perfectly embodying a classic evening of elegance. Manhattan's is truly a place where one dresses up to savor a remarkable meal, making every visit an unforgettable experience.

Just walked in and was greeted by live piano music and singing, giving off a classic piano bar vibe. The dark, vintage decor feels straight out of an old-school Manhattan restaurant. Guests were dressed up, making my Crocs feel out of place, but no dress code here! The food is fantastic and worth the price. The complimentary bread was fresh, and the calamari was one of the best I’ve had, packed with squid heads. We ordered the Manhattan Trio pasta—lobster ravioli was a highlight, and the sauces were so good I wiped them clean with bread. The NY cheesecake was authentic, though I still prefer Yanni’s. This place is perfect for a romantic date, especially if you appreciate vintage charm. Definitely a hidden gem!

Manhattan in La Jolla is all about incredible food and flavor. Every dish comes out hot, fresh, and perfectly prepared. You can truly taste the passion and pride Chef Toney puts into his cooking—he is absolutely fantastic. If you’re craving rich, delicious, high-quality meals, this is the spot. Hands down one of the best dining experiences in La Jolla, located inside the Empress Hotel. Highly recommend!

Located inside of the Empress Hotel in La Jolla, this a very nice restaurant and a local favorite. The menu is extensive with a wide array of options. The veal chop Florentine was delicious and make sure to order a Caesar salad, the staff brings a cart table side and makes the salad right in front of you. On the weekends there is live music and a lively bar scene.

My family and I have lived in La Jolla since the early 1990s and I’ve been coming to this Manhattan‘s of La Jolla since the mid 1990s. I love how it is a time capsule in that it has not changed much over the years but in a good way. I will say that they used to have a double cut veal chop and now it is a single cut and that’s what we went for specifically every single time for decades so I’m hoping that they bring that back. Aside from that it’s located on the ground floor of a small boutique hotel in the village of La Jolla. Parking is fairly easy in this part of town, your best options will be street parking for free or valet. Our server was extremely polite and honestly service here is always terrific. It used to be filled with older Italian men that would sing Italian love songs but now it is more of the standard full service restaurant service. It’s also very dimly lit and kind of reminds me of a steak restaurant you would see on the East Coast. It makes for a much more private and enjoyable experience. As mentioned, we would always come here for the Double Cut Veal Chop but for some reason, it is not on the menu anymore. PLEASE BRING IT BACK! I started off with the Carpaccio di Manzo and thought it was terrific. I’ve been getting this dish since I was a little kid and still get it now in my adult life. For my entrée as always, I got the Veal Chop Fiorentina however it was half the size as it were was every other time we had been here. The flavors were still great though, and it was packed full of garlic and juicy flavor. I would highly recommend to anyone in San Diego searching for a great dinner location and it’s definitely someplace that I would consider a hidden gem and is usually filled with us locals.

Shrimp scampi was dry and flavorless. No garlic or butter or olive oil taste. They did give a free dessert to say they were sorry. The lobster Manhattan was 99% spaghetti with 3 bite size pieces of lobster and three bite size pieces of crab on top. The flavor was great but for $49, it was quite pricey. Still love this restaurant and will go back again. The bananas foster is to dye for!!!

Delicious food, live jazz band, great service. Fettuccine Alfredo, lobster ravioli, New York strip, fried zucchini and last, but not least the homemade tiramisu. Everything was excellent, a bit pricey, though, we’re definitely going to go back there. We enjoyed it so very much.

A true gem in La Jolla! The food is outstanding, and the cozy, intimate setting adds to the charm. I highly recommend trying the veal piccata - it’s exceptional. 5 out of 5 stars!

To all of my Tri-State East Coasters that are either visiting or now living in paradise here in San Diego: This is it, the Italian food/vibe you wanted to find while you’re here. Firstly, the food…I’m not kidding, guys. This isn’t only a taste of home; it is an elevated version of home. Canneloni like nothing you’ve ever tasted, filled with piping hot and wonderfully spiced meats and tomato sauce like nana makes; vegetable sides that are as good as the entrees themselves; CHICKEN FRANCESE! IN CALIFORNIA! AND IT IS JUST AS GOOD, IF NOT BETTER, THAN HOME! And every single person here, whether it’s the boss of the sauce, Gretchen, my spectacular server Harper, or the best-in-class friendly busperson Cayenne, these folks are here to learn your name and your story, share theirs, and provide an experience that will remind you of where you came from, with a Golden State touch. I promise you, this will be a weekend MUST for me. I can’t recommend it enough. Get ready for the best Italian food in San Diego.

Manhattan is a wonderful place to go for an upscale dining experience. The food is excellent as is the service. My family and I have celebrated special occasions there and plan on continuing to do so in the future.

I attended a vow renewal ceremony tonight at Manhattan of La Jolla. The staff did a wonderful job. They were extremely attentive and kind, which really set the atmosphere. I’d like to especially thank Gretchen, Asline, Dawn, and Chad for their superior service. I hope they get the proper recognition for their hard work.

Took a date here and we had an absolutely magical night. The atmosphere was incredible, as they had a live singer performing all night. The staff and clientele were classy, but not at all pretentious. The highlight of our night was our server, Manny. He was a delight to talk to, and he made sure our dinner was special. Towards the end he even introduced us to the owner, who was an absolutely lovely lady. Overall, it was a 10/10 dinner.

Aslin was incredible with recommendations and service- She literally knew the menu inside and out and helped us decide as if she was a card reader. Anna is the most gift bartender can craft any cocktail of your dreams. This is the best place to go. What do you want appetizers and a cocktail or a fabulous pull on 10 star meal do not skip it. It must be part of your Lajoya night owl

Table side Caesar, calamari fritti, seafood stew with grilled bread and cheese cake. The entire staff takes traditional hospitality and classic service to heart… one of the best kept secrets of La Jolla!

This was our first time to the Manhattan and to La Jolla. We had a wonderful time! The service was really great, and the live music really set the vibes. The food far exceeded our expectations and the portions were large for the main entrees. Our only gripe was that it was so loud in there that it was extremely hard to hear each other from across the table and even right next to each other, but we also went on a Saturday night and were seated in the center of the restaurant, so we weren't too bothered by it. All in all, it was a beautiful restaurant and we would love to come back the next time we're in La Jolla.

It is overpriced. The food is good but not excellent. Service is ok.

Old school Italian restaurant located in the Empress hotel. We were there on Wednesday night and they had folks singing Frank Sinatra in the bar area. The food was very tasty. Service was excellent.

This is hidden inside a hotel in La Jolla San Diego. It’s upscale Italian. There was live music with a lounge singer. I had the veal Marsala, lobster bisque and I highly recommend the Ecstasy desert which is White chocolate gelato with liquor and raspberries. It’s more filling than it looks.

Desert is huge, rather smaller and better presentation Stuffs are so friendly and sweet, good entertainment

As expected, Manhattan is definitely more old-school New York Italian than Italy Italian, which makes for some great comfort food as a native New Yorker. We went for our anniversary, and enjoyed all our dishes: beef carpaccio, Manhattan combo, lobster Manhattan, the Italian sodas, and almost heaven (gelato). The restaurant was so nice and not only wished us a happy anniversary but also brought us out a plate of tiramisu, which was delicious. Service was also top notch. There's live music, which was a lot of fun but also means it's incredibly loud in parts of the restaurant. I had to yell for my partner to hear me and it was really difficult to hear the waiter. This is the one thing about the experience I'd definitely change - if you're looking for an intimate dinner or are sensitive to sound you can ask for a booth in the back apparently.

The food was delicious! We came here on a Saturday for dinner and requested to be seated in the bar area. They have a piano player that provided live music around 7pm. This place was bustling after 6pm. They do not have valet parking but there's public parking across the street for $15. I ordered the pasta combo for dinner. It came with shrimp scampi (2 big shrimps), lobster ravioli (about 3), and 1 big cannelloni. We also ordered the fried calamari and the shrimp scampi appetizers. We table side Caesar salad, bananas foster, and cherry jubilee desserts were all delicious and fun. I highly recommended ordering the Caesar salad and Banana Foster. Service was ok from our waitress. She wasn't very friendly and warm. Service from the young man doing the Caesar salad and desserts was much better. He was very nice.

I hope this was an exception, but I went to Manhattan tonight and the experience was so much worse than I’ve ever Had there before. They couldn’t get our drink straight and brought one drink instead of two. I had to cut my veal’s scallopini with a bread knife because they didn’t bring the proper utensils. People were standing around doing nothing but when he asked him to do something, they did it wrong. The food seem to lack its usual flare as well. I hope this is an exception.

Old-school Italian with polite, friendly servers. The chicken marsala was tender with a rich, umami sauce of mushrooms and herbs. The pastas were fresh and nicely prepared with fresh al dente vegetables. The beef carpaccio was like thinly sliced roast beef--not my idea of carpaccio, but the capers and parmesan were on point. The cheesecake was a fabulous indulgence. The deep, rich wood paneling, vaulted ceiling, and tropical fish tanks bring elegance and relaxation to your dining experience.

Starting with the one positive, the carrots and haricot verts were delightful, very nicely done. Now onto the sins. The biggest sin was the linguine being overcooked, felt like I was eating Ramen noodles with tomato sauce. Then as someone who loves garlic I have to say that the whole raw clove made no sense at all. Garlic releases flavor when traumatized so at least smash them if you want that flavor in the sauce. The bolognese sauce was all-around decent, different than most, almost more like a vodka sauce. However the marinara sauce on the chicken parmigiana was very bland, like plain tomatoes from a can just smashed and heated up. Service was average though it did take some time to be seated even with a reservation. Last thing I have to suggest is to serve the butter at room temperature for the bread, serving cold butter is just such an obvious oversight and so easy to correct.

Manhattan of La Jolla; mixed experience (amazing start, disappointing finish) We made our reservation several days in advance and were genuinely looking forward to it. This was a special occasion, we got dressed up, and we Ubered 30 minutes to and from La Jolla expecting a relaxed, full dinner experience. We had an 8:15 reservation and were seated right away. Within about 10 minutes, our first server, Frida, came over with several water options and took great care of us, she was truly an angel and set a warm, welcoming tone. Unfortunately, after that, the service pacing completely fell apart. Our waiter came to the table but didn’t offer cocktails or ask if we’d like to start with drinks. We were ready to order two martinis, plus an appetizer and a salad, but we weren’t given a moment to place the full order so we waited… and waited. Eventually we ordered calamari (fishy, not crispy and undercooked) and a bottle of wine, and the tableside Caesar was lovely. But we still hadn’t ordered entrées, and by the time it was close to 9:00 PM, the waiter told us the kitchen was closing soon. At that point, we felt rushed and ended up ordering only one entrée just to get something in. Then the room started shutting down around us; lights dimming/turning off, music turned off… and all we could hear was a boombox from the kitchen. The whole vibe made it feel like we were somehow keeping the staff hostage just by being there… which, considering we had a reservation and arrived on time, was honestly a joke. On a positive note, the coffee was fairly hot and the cheesecake was decent. Overall, it was a disappointing end to what we expected to be a really nice night out. Frida was wonderful. The service pacing and the end-of-night shutdown atmosphere need serious attention. Overall unwelcoming. 👎🏽

Great atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, but disappointing food and service ⭐️⭐️. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and a lot of potential, but the food was extremely buttery and greasy. Even the broccoli seemed soaked in butter or some kind of oil. The veal, in particular, was very greasy. I mentioned this to the busboy (a young blond gentleman who was kind and attentive) and asked him to check the veal for oiliness. He agreed that it was overly greasy. However, when I brought this to our server’s attention, she said, “That’s just how it is.” She didn’t seem concerned and was not particularly warm or welcoming. There was also a noticeable focus on offering additional items such as paid water, wine, and dessert, but the issue with the oily veal was never addressed. I had hoped to exchange it for another option, such as shrimp, but that didn’t seem to be possible. I disagree with the server’s response, as I’ve had veal at other restaurants where it was breaded, crispy, and dry—not oily like this. I’m curious if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Went her for my partner's birthday and had reservations: took 15 minutes until finally seated. The waitress was real rushed, never checked on us, never brought the birthday dessert after many confirmations it would be. Chewy, the helper, was real kind though. Definitely subpar service at the expensive price.

Unfortunately the manager Nancy was quite rude or just having a bad day. She was less than accommodating. The food was not good. Food and drinks overpriced. We will not be back. Do not recommend.

Terrible food. Seafood wasn’t fresh. 4 shrimp cocktail for $24 and the shrimp wasn’t even fresh. For clam sauce linguini. Linguini didn’t have taste of the sauce and was purely bland. Clams weren’t cleaned properly and had sand. On top of that, clam was not fresh and overcooked so it tasted dry.
