Manuela in LA’s Arts District was a highlight of our visit—terrific food and superb service. The barramundi sea bass and signature venison burger were outstanding. Don’t miss the Archie cocktail or the tequila with macerated yellow peppers. And coming from Southerners, trust us: the biscuits are to die for! We’d happily return.

    What a great way to start our day! The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. We loved the great playlist and overall atmosphere. My son even declared it the best fried chicken he’s ever had, which says it all! We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!
