Restaurants near American Swedish Institute

Recommended. Hasn’t disappointed me yet. Foods always fresh and good. Good presentation. Service is attentive.

It was the first time eating at Manny’s Steakhouse for all of us. We were NOT disappointed. One of us went for the Ribeye w/ Bearnaise while the rest of us had Filet Mignon w/ Bearnaise. Then we all shared Asparagus w/ Hollandaise, Loaded Hashbrowns, Cheesecake and Baileys Cake. Not a meal for someone dieting! The steaks were AMAZING!!! I love my red meat with Bearnaise, so it was absolutely heaven. The asparagus and hashbrowns were done to perfection. And the deserts were quite tasty. The only thing that was “off putting” was having someone clear plates while others were still eating. I did not say anything tonight but if it happens again in the future, I will politely ask that they wait until everyone has finished before clearing (Hospitality Rules 101). If I were at Perkins, I wouldn’t have bat an eye; but at these prices, I expect perfection, and hospitality rules to be followed. Which brings me back to the food. PERFECTION!! It was fantastic! And I’m already thinking about the next time to go. Their Brunch menu looks amazing, and I saw the Crab Dumplings close up and definitely will be ordering those in the near future!

We all started with happy hour margaritas, generously sized, and had the walleye with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans, followed by the chocolate coconut tart and coffee. Yummy all around.

Our server was wonderful and the food was amazing - pistachio salmon especially. Feels like a special event. Ambiance was like a nice business lunch in New York..been a while but you get what I mean. Linen tablecloths, positive upbeat vibes, welcoming host, great service. Ok, maybe not like NY, exactly, lol

From drinks to dessert our food and drinks were outstanding. Service was exception and we really appreciated that our server allowed us to sample the wine before we ordered a glass. She also surprised us with a birthday candle with the dessert we ordered and a gift code for the picture booth! Again, she made it an exceptional experience for all four of us! We will definetly be back.
