I had happy hour this time. Read my previous review for this restaurant here

I usually don’t have high expectations for franchise restaurants that serve “American” cuisine (burgers, pasta, rotisserie chicken, etc), but Manzana did better than I anticipated. Just so you have an idea, I liked Manzana over Claim Jumper’s.

I liked the presentation of the foods and appreciated the freshness of ingredients. If you know what I mean, the dishes didn’t seem like prototype dishes you’d find at franchise restaurants. That said, it was still a little overpriced in my opinion (I know, I know, it’s Bellevue).

The service was good, though, and I had a good experience. I’d go back to try their $2-$4 Happy Hour appetizers!

5 of us came came for Sunday brunch. Lowlights were burnt French toast, an absentee order of huevos rancheros, and occasional waitress tag for table service.

On the upside, the food was average and the price was fair given where we were. And it still beat the 30+ minute wait at Chace’s: I’d go back again given those options.

I go to Manzana at least once a week. When it first opened, i think a little over a year ago, i literally went there every other day. I always sit in the bar, but it’s like sitting in the restaurant because there are plenty of booths and it’s super comfortable. Their happy hours are great, although no drink specials for you alcoholics, just great food specials. There are about 15 dishes all in the range of $1.99-$3.99. Good portions too! They also start Happy Hour a half an hour earlier than the nearby restaurants so if you can’t wait for McCormick and Schmicks, head to Manzana – waaaay better setting and much more welcoming!

They also serve breakfast starting at 6am. They’re located at the bottom of the Westin so it’s to provide a breakfast place for hotel guests.

I’d read about Manzana from other user reviews, so we decided to give it a shot for happy hour and were pleasantly surprised. The location is a tad hidden and out of the way from the rest of the businesses in Lincoln Square.

I enjoyed the dark, pleasant bar atmosphere and the nice booths surrounding the bar area – it’s one step up (and less crowded) from the other happy hour options in the area.

This is a very laid back place for happy hour. I come here often with my friends, portion is big and the server remember you! I think that’s most important for when the people remember you, make you feel welcomed.

I usually come here on weekdays… usually the servers just give us the controller to change channel for what we want to watch…

I like the wings and cheeseburger sliders best.
Sliders only cost 1.00, the wings are less than 3… and have lots of sauce….
