The Manhattan Steakhouse and Bar

“Went for my anniversary ❤️ will definitely be back for more. What a whole vibe with friendly service and delicious food. Must try the potato skins.”

“Loved it! The owners seemed very humble and down to earth. They were dining a table over from us. All of the employees came over and gave them hugs. The chilled prawns were huge as well as my prime New York steak. The baked potato was huge and soft all the way through. Green beans were crisp and well seasoned. The chocolate layer cake and New York cheesecake was delicious! We will be frequenting this establishment from here on out. 😋”

“We came here for dinner and left feeling like family... It had been awhile since we'd been to the Manhattan so we decided to have dinner there Christmas Eve, much to our dismay they were closed. Disappointed, grabbed a reservation on the 23rd... Let me tell you, that is the absolute only thing that wasn't absolutely perfect about this experience (and honestly who can fault them for wanting to be with their families for the holidays?) We arrived to a mostly full dining room, but that didn't stop service from being excellent. Our server was prompt, knowledgeable about the menu and attentive to our party's needs the whole night. The new owners Mike and Heather were present this night, and while waiting for our drinks Heather stopped by to introduce herself and make sure that we didn’t have any questions about the menu and made sure we knew they were on-site if there was anything at all we needed. After ordering and receiving our entrees, the other owner Mike stopped by shortly after to make sure everything was to our liking, these people legitimately care about your satisfaction.. Now, there's a reason they only serve prime cuts, these people know steaks! All 3 steaks were cooked to absolute perfect temps and managed to be tender and juicy at the same time... I almost exclusively order steaks when I eat out, and this is something NOBODY else in Fresno can currently manage to do for whatever reason (No melted butter does not magically make a tough steak decent, I'm talking to you Ruth Chris!). If you want to want a mediocre meal at an inflated cost, go elsewhere.. but if you're in the market for a premium cut of beef along with service to match, the Manhattan is your place, I no longer have to drive to Jocko's in Nipomo just to get a decent steak.. Great job guys, this was the perfect opener to our holidays! Thanks for everything.”

“My family hosted a surprise birthday party here for about 40 guests, and it couldn’t have gone better! Rhonda, the event coordinator, made the entire process incredibly easy and seamless. She was such a pleasure to work with and ensured everything came together perfectly. The staff was very accommodating, and our guest of honor - along with all the other guests - thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. I would absolutely host another event here in the future!”

“Went on a Friday night and fell in love with Karen. Outside of the dining experience, she was wonderful, welcoming and made you feel like family from the moment you walk in. They have a great menu to satisfy all palettes so it's okay for a picky group of diners. The bar is everything!! They serve great great drinks at reasonable pricing and they are nice and strong. I got the Steak with the garlic and black peppercorn sauce. It comes with a hashbrown but I asked for mashed potatoes. Next time I'll stick with what they pair it with. Wasn't a fan of the mash but the steak was nice and tender and the string beans were good. My girlfriend ordered the salmon special and liked that as well. I would love to try the pasta with the sundried tomatoes but since it was my first visit thought to go with the steak. They are booked and busy so you need a reservation but definitely great ambiance, great service and great atmosphere for a date night. They offer 2 large private rooms as well for more intimate events. I see why they are a Fresno staple. Karen is Manhattan! We loved her 💜”
