Age has many benefits. It makes steaks deep and wine-scented, and wines rich and complicated. In people, it brings out the ability to recognize the value of those aged steaks and fine wines--and, if they're lucky, the ducats to pay for it all. And in a steak house, age confers prestige and a spot on the dining shortlist of local power brokers. If you don't know how to recognize them, consider eating elsewhere: Tables here are so close together that other players may easily eavesdrop on your best-laid plans.
It's been a good week for Minneapolis restaurants and their celebrity clients. We recently reported about comedian and actor Nick Offerman tweeting his gratitude to Jax Cafe in northeast for fulf... More »
For all of the great advances and trends in local dining in recent years--fusion, small plates, exquisitely crafted platings, molecular gastronomy--for many meat-loving foodies there is still no exper... More »
What makes a Caesar salad worth $19? Seriously, I'm asking. Lettuce grown in Frank Gehry-designed greenhouses and sprinkled with Voss water? Parmesan cheese air-freighted direct from Italy, each wheel buckled into its own leather, business-class... More »
Dear Dara,Here's one for your "Essential Minnesota" project, and while it may not fit neatly in the category, I find that much of the enjoyment I get out of dining out comes from being recognized by the staff. This really only happens by becoming... More »
Amazing service, amazing steaks, great atmosphere. Try the bacon appetizer. It's two slabs of bacon! Yes, check out the photo......that's bacon......
If you're on a trip through Minneapolis, force yourself to go there. It's all a la carte. When you read about top 10 steak houses, you can give me anything you want - but Manny's is as good as it gets.
wonderful place to do business
Manny's must have cojones the size of those on the strapping bull in the painting next to its host's stand. The place thinks it can charge 19 bucks for a Caesar salad and nearly $100 for a massive, bone-in rib eye for two. And you know what, it can. Because even though that salad is utterly skippable and some of the sides are only so-so, Manny's top steaks are those for a carnivore's carnivore. Let's get back to that double rib eye, otherwise known as the "bludgeon of beef" for its... More »
Visitors to this venerable dining institution are greeted by a painting of a bull displaying a rather heavy appendage of masculinity. And in a way, that's fitting for what is, year-in, year-out, the best steak house in town. "We're a New York-style steak house," offers one of Manny's GMs, Steve Kohrer. "We're kind of edgy, masculine, and in your face." Apparently. There's a double cut of prime rib that would be mistaken for a roast in any police lineup, for $39.95. The legendary double... More »
The purpose of the steakhouse is to make you feel like the top carnivore on all of planet Earth, both in terms of scoring the finest red, red meat, and also in terms of scoring social privilege over the other bipeds. No place pulls this off better than Manny's. It's not just the steak, though we could go on all day about the excellent, deep, thunderous, winey, concentrated, specially cut dry-aged beef Manny's serves. It's also the social theater: There you are, in a dining room bursting... More »
If you're like most of us, chances are your pockets are way too shallow to accommodate this temple of dead cow's hefty prices on any kind of regular basis. Plus, it's not at all unlikely that the pinstriped, cigar-puffing examples of Carnivorus Americanus who congregate in its clubby environs might run more than a bit too boisterous for your druthers. But if a well-heeled relative is picking up the tab (or you find yourself holding a winning Powerball ticket), Manny's celebrated dry-aged... More »
One of the nice things about writing this blurb is the knowledge that it will never end up on the walls of the establishment in question, because the folks who run Manny's don't give a hoot what chump-change suckers who read (or write) free newspapers care (or write) about. Because if you've got $75 a head (not counting drinks) to blow on steak and potatoes and asparagus, you're probably too busy parking your Expedition on the backs of the working class to read a rag like this. But damned... More »
Some might ask: Why does Manny's win this category every year? Why do you even bother? What's up with you idiots, anyway? To which we answer: We keep at this category because we hope that the people who run the other steak houses will go to Manny's, find out what they're doing wrong, and heat up the competition. But they're spoiled, petulant, and temperamental, and they just won't--so don't blame us. To recap: Manny's serves dry-aged, perfect steaks, charges way, way too much for side... More »
