Manna Restaurant & Private Event Dining

Went back for lunch. A $ 25 pre-​fix. Had a hard time deciding as you get 3 selections for $ 25. My friend chose Eggplant, Potato Gnocchi and I chose Crab Cake and Cornish Hen. The Eggplant was exquisite. Potato Gnocchi was in a delicious, very creamy rich sauce with walnut and you could tell the Potato Gnocchi was homemade. Absolutely delicious! My Crab Cake was fabulous and the Cornish Hen was served with local root vegetables in a scrumptious sauce with Rosemary. You could select a dessert with the $ 25 pre fix but we decided to pay a little extra and try the two different types of Tartufo instead, so we had mint Tartufo and Chocolate Tartufo. Unbelievable! By far the best Tartufo I’ve ever had and I’ve had it many places. Again, superior service and wonderful atmosphere. All you heard in the restaurant was a collective exclamation of «mmmmmm this is so good!» Can’t wait to go back!

I was reluctant to post a review knowing how crowded this place is going to become once the word gets out. What a fabulous addition to the Hamptons dining scene. The ambiance is very comfortable (similar to Mirko’s if you remember that), the service friendly, attentive and professional and the food: amazing!
Tried 3 appetizers: Beet Salad with a Goat Cheese Puff, Duck Spring Rolls and Tuna Carpaccio. All were tasty, generous and perfectly prepared. (Note: The Goat Cheese Puff is addictive). I had the Veal Chop which was hands down the best I’ve had in ages. Its a beautiful cut, with the perfect char with truffle and mashed potatoes. Stellar. The Lobster Risotto was impeccable and delicious (and overflowing). You cannot leave hungry from Manna!
We were so full, we didn’t order dessert but they brought a «deconstructed cannoli» which we devoured like wild hyenas. So tasty and fresh.
I am so excited that Manna is here. I hope they remember me when they are taking reservations weeks in advance this summer!

Dear all,
When Mirko’s left Watermill we were very disappointed. Now that Manna has taken up their spot, we can attest that Manna is an excellent replacement. In fact, personally we feel it is even better than Mirko’s in many ways. If we found one thing even slightly off it was the portions were more than generous and while embarrassed to ask for a doggy bag, we did. NONE OF OUR FOUR DOGS GOT ANY!!! The veal chops were delicious and tender and cooked exactly as requested. The grilled octopus was sensational. The lobster risotto the same. In fact we did not have anything that we did not love. Please do try Manna. You will not be disappointed.
