AWFUL I had dinner there on Thanksgiving and it was worse then hospital food. Cold, bland and punishing.
There was also a nasty smell in the restaurant.
I advise staying away at all costs.

Breakfast in the Village I go to Manatus about once a month to meet friends for breakfast. It's always good -- not great, but fine. It's never particularly busy early morning, although apparently late at night it gets packed. Service is always fine and friendly. My main gripe is that the bathrooms never seem super clean.

Terrific deal for plenty of good food ... I've noted a few negative reviews of this restaurant ... and have also noted that they were written by folks who had a one-time (and unfortunately) negative experience with Manatus. Conversely, I've been a patron here for many years and have never come away with negative thoughts about the dining experience. I usually have dinner here and usually bring three to seven friends with me. No one, a... Read More On CitysearchLewisRC40 7/12/2008
A super bargain in West Village We love this place and never miss it on our trips to NYC. We head for it as quickly as possible.
Gay friendly, excellent service, amiable and fast but not pushy. Very good food, particularly items like their open-faced steak sandwich. Huge salads. Their cole slaw delicious. Too much food stacked on a plate, and you have to eat it all because it is so tasty. Excellent desserts. The outdoo... Read More On Citysearchclaudeintexas 10/22/2007
Decent Late Night Delivery, but Overpriced Decent fare when everything else is closed, I have had no problem with delivery and I order here regularly, but it is considerably more expensive then the other diners inthe area....Burger fries and mozz sticks 25 dollars!

My Favorite Place Manatus Restaurant is absolutely my favorite restuarant in New York City. Not only do I eat there about two to three times a week but I also bring my family and friends everytime they visit me in New York. They join me for a delicious dinner as well as a peaceful brunch. The food is always fresh and tasty. I never hesitate to try a new dish because I always enjoyed every type of meal I order fr... Read More On Citysearchbabylen24 1/13/2007
Eat at your own risk I have eaten here many times, and always thought the food was fine, nothing extraordinary. I ate here last night with my boyfriend and another friend. The friend and I enjoyed our meals, though nothing special. My boyfriend ordered eggs benedict and they arrived lukewarm. He sent them back, the waiter told him they would make him a new order. The new order came and he ate only a small portion of ... Read More On Citysearchdebtune 12/9/2006
AVOID AT ALL COSTS - UNPROFESSIONAL Worst place ever. Multiple times I have ordered from there and paid via credit card over the phone, and when the delivery guy gets to my apartment he asks for me to pay for the food, and when I tell him I have already paid, he won't leave until he calls the place to confirm I have paid, which takes LITERALLY 10 minutes. Completely unprofessional and ridiculous. DO NOT EAT FROM THERE OR ORDER FRO... Read More On Citysearchrosenrosen12 11/5/2006
Perfect for Brunch! I had brunch here last weekend and it was FABULOUS! I ordered the supreme crabmeat omelet, which was excellent. The waistaff was incredibly helpful and gracious, and the outdoor seating was perfect for people watching. Overall, I had a superb experience! Highly recommended!

Great Seafood Paella The other night my girlfriend and I were shooping on Blecker street when we decided to get something to eat. We noticed the Manatus restaurant and decided to give it a world. Boy, were we ever pleased. The atmosphere was friendly, alive and warm. The staff was very attentive and pleasent. We both had the Seafood Paella and loved it. The seafood was fresh, and the rice was so soft and fluffy. It's... Read More On Citysearchcottoncandy90 3/29/2006
Slow, but okay.. I work very closeby to Manatus, and my coworkers eat here a lot. The first time I ordered from Manatus was over the phone, to be delivered to me just down the street. I ordered a veggie burger. Cheese costs extra, and I did not ask for cheese, but it came with cheese on it anyway. On both sides of the burger! So it was impossible to scrape off. Called back, another would be sent two hours an... Read More On Citysearchvintagebarbie 12/27/2005
Cosy, relaxed and great value This is a great little place to eat with friends or for a relaxed evening with a date. The atmosphere is cosy, the service attentive but not intrusive and the menu choice is amazingly large but features pretty standard fare. Food portions are sizeable enough for most appetites, with prices which are terrific value. Definitely recommended! Read More On Citysearchlouiseuk 4/1/2004

Great Value Lotta Food Visiting from Alabama we just happened to wander in for dinner. The food was great, service was good, and the price was very reasonable. It had a nice ambiance also. Read More On Citysearchbluesrif 11/14/2002
Greek/American treat Cozy diner in the heart of the village. I've tried Paul's Palace's burgers which I found too soggy and Corner bistro's which are too pricey!
Manatus serves a tasty, juicy chargrilled burger(the bacon/mushroom is the best!) with a load of fries and onion rings and also a greek salad(with their own dressing which is out of this world) for about 10 bucks, enough food for 2 to share. This is what ar... Read More On Citysearchauersmacher 8/22/2002
