Au cœur d'Arts District, Manuela propose une cuisine inventive, raffinée et authentique. L'accent est mis sur les produits de saison : le chef ne se fournit que chez des producteurs et des fermiers du sud de la Californie. Au menu : des belles pièces de viande, des poissons et des fruits de mer, ainsi qu'une vaste sélection de légumes et de graines. Par ailleurs, chaque week-end, les habitants du quartier se rendent dans le restaurant pour son brunch élégant, où les crevettes au bacon et aux champignons frais côtoient des classiques tels que les œufs Bénédicte.

The menu was varied, with some support for vegetarians, and everything we ordered tasted great. Dessert service was a bit slow and no sugar/sweetener was offered with coffee but otherwise service was well-timed and friendly.
Manuela sneaks a surcharge onto the bottom of the menu, instead of just charging what it takes to pay their staff. Not so classy.
Environment
When you first walk in you get a very rustic artsy and airy vibe. The restaurant is located in a type of art plaza. It's unique because most of the space is outside with a bar located on the inside. A bunch of greenery that adds to the aesthetic. It's simply beautiful. Great for date nights, happy hours, or just a nice meal. I would go back just to be in the space and have a drink.
Service
Our server was great, friendly and very helpful with discussing with us items on the menu. and knowledgeable.
Food and drinks
What can I say the food was great. The cream biscuits and ham were delightful. The roasted duck breast was soo tasty especially with the tangerines. I enjoyed everything. Delicious. Next time I'm back in DTLA this is a go to spot.
Overall
Beautiful space, great ambiance and even better food. Will definitely be back
Food/Drinks: Food was delicious. Our server recommended the cream biscuits to start, and her suggestion was on point. Best flaky bread I've ever had! I personally ended up having their venison burger, and it has earned being one of their most popular dish for a reason. It was recommended medium rare and it was super juicy. However, the best dish we had was the shared roasted cauliflower dish. It was seasoned amazingly well and I highly would recommend this as your filler!
Service/Ambiance: Top notch. Server was really knowledgeable on immediately started recommending dishes. Throughout our entire meal, other staff members would come by and clear our dishes as we finish them and provided new utensils. Huge plus. And obviously cannot disregard the views/ambiance! Outdoorsy feel and not chilly since they had heaters on.
Rating: 10/10
Recommendations: Roasted cauliflower, cream biscuits!
