SPICY TUNA TACOS BBQ OCTOPUS
Lindsay C.

Both dishes were delicious. Very fresh great flavoring and plating. Rooftop is very nice to sit at. Drinks were good and service was attentive. Would definitely come back.

Probably not a new favorite spot.. they bussed a table for our reservation but sat us when it was wet and sticky. We never got silverware so we had to get up and ask the bartender when our apps came. Calamari tasted like it was frozen. It was bland and tough. The Aioli was good. The sushi roll is ok, expensive but not special . The scallops were the Star, perfectly cooked with a delicious corn sauce of some sort. The cous cous didn't make any sense with it. The bell pepper really overpowered and the fava beans made it bitter. A garlic or more mild cous cous would've been a much better pairing. It's a bummer because the scallops are the best we've had on the island. The ahi tuna entree was ice cold in the middle. Yes it was ordered rare but it really should be room temp. Our waitress was sweet and drinks were fine. Overall just ok I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

SHORT RIB TAGLIATELLE
Kristin C.

Came here last night and asked for a seat at the bar. I love the roof top patio here. We weren't sure if we were just having a drink or getting something to eat. We ended up staying for dinner and we weren't disappointed. The beef short rib was really good. I was not expecting it to come on a bed of pasta though. Probably should add that to their description. Definitely a $$$ type place. Inside is gorgeous and you can totally have a romantic night here with your significant other

Penne vodka

Love the options on the menu! The soup was amazing! Honestly though Buffalo Wingless was cauliflower- needed a little bit more blue cheese The salads were yummy- love how big the portions were!! French onion gnocchis weren't the best- the pasta was way too mushy and the taste wasn't there for me. Lots of drinks options- good price and were strong!! Service was decent. Had a lovely view from the rooftop! Would come back to try more!

Menu

Lunch time at the Jersey shore and a cloudy day with occasional showers so out to lunch and spotted this place driving down the Blvd. This restaurant is attached to a hotel and upon arrival at 12:00 the place was empty so we were seated promptly. Looking for a Light meal and kicked it off with calamari, golden crisp, not greasy or chewy with a couple sauces. Next up was a ribeye cheesesteak sandwich that really had thinly sliced steak, provolone and crispy onion. The the sandwich was so big I could only eat half and ignored the fries that were also crispy and very tasty, not oily. Had a couple more meals, a Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich and a Pecan Crusted Goat Cheese & Local Beet salad and feedback was very positive. Service was great, staff friendly and the place was clean and well maintained.

FRENCH ONION GNOCCHI

Went for some apps and drinks the rooftop bar was nice at nite.we where pleasantly surprised with the awesome food choices we tryed the spicy tuna tacos , buffalo tender bites and the French onion gnocchi the chef at this establishment creates some culinary delights and we will be back great service food and atmosphere

Kids pasta
Atticus S.

Must visit for LBI, very average kids food but adult food was great! Very nice Ambiance and looks great, that includes the bathroom, trust me I've been in some bad bathrooms. Great service, my server Colten was very friendly!

Sunset vibes

Food is great service is good. The rooftop is fun. Great espresso martinis it is a shame you can't see the sunset from the rooftop but if you walk down the block. There it is!

See all

This, for sure, has to be the single best meal we have ever had on Long Beach Island. When we…read morearrived, we were seated promptly and were given a large table to accommodate our party of seven. Ben came straight over and introduced himself and told us some of the specials and allowed some time to peruse the menu. We knew that we had to get the children their food first for us to enjoy our meals and we ordered pasta and flounder for the girls and a cheeseburger and fries for the little boy. It's hard to imagine that a restaurant can be very classy while being at the beach and a very casual atmosphere but people were mixed in their dress with those of us who were more casual, but somewhat dressy and others who got dressed to the nines to enjoy their meal out with friends or family. We decided on the advice of Ben to get some duck confit and also some tang tang shrimp and also Nice chopped salad which was fresh and crisp and also some tacos and then we were off to the races with our entrées. We all decided to choose something different and give a little bite to each of the members of our adult party. While I had seared sea scallops my buddy had salmon. My wife chose a salad with some grilled shrimp And my buddies wife decided to have a plate of muscles that she enjoyed immensely. The staff was fantastic in that they took away dirty plates and replaced them with new ones and made sure that the kids had everything that they needed for us to enjoy a quiet and adult conversational meal. Compared to Long Island, NY the prices were really very fair and the quality of the food was very very good. My scallops were excellent and the other plates that I tried all were cooked perfectly. I want to give a special shout out to Ben, our server, for being very friendly and his demeanor while explaining the menu and offering suggestions. I really do look forward to our next trip back

There was one guy playing guitar music, not too loud, which made the atmosphere cozy. They have a great cocktail list if you want to try something new. The wedge salad was large and had a twist- it had a different type of dressing, crispy onion on top, and traditional blue cheese crumbles. The cheese steak comes with thick-cut fries, and the crab cake main had coleslaw on the side, which was crisp and served with a light dressing. Looking forward to dining again soon.

We weren't 100% sold because of some of the reviews, but still gave it a shot. We made a 6pm reservation online and were able to park in the lot adjacent to the restaurant. We were seated immediately and the hostess gave us a table by the front window. Nice, out of the way, allowed us to chat and people watch. We were initially shocked at how empty the place was for a 6pm reservation, but by the time we were done the place was packed. Out waitress came over and took our drink order (she never introduced herself, which always kind of annoys me). I ordered the Barrel -aged Manhattan (it came on the rocks though I ordered it up) and Wifey ordered The Maverick - gin, Aperol, lemon, Ginger, mint. For starters we had the Steamers special - in a white wine garlic butter sauce with grilled or charred shallots and Chargrilled oysters with spinach, panko, cheddar, and hot sauce. For our entrees Wifey had the NY strip with seasoned potatoes and I had the Crab cakes. Steak was excellent...the crab cakes were small for the price, but full of meat. Delicious Cole slaw. Appetizers were also great - my steamers were different than I've ever had because the flavor of the shallots really added a ton of flavor. Drink prices are ridiculous (they are everywhere on the island, but especially for the size of the Maverick. Food was great, service was ok (though our waitress wasn't very enthusiastic), you'll pay Island prices here, and place gets VERY loud so be aware.

The waiter was caring, friendly, and professional. Secondly, the food was great, and actually even better than the last time. I started my lunch with a cup of their Chicken Tortilla Soup, which had a lightly spicy tomato-based broth infused with loads of shredded white meat chicken and garnished with a few tortilla strips. It was flavorful, comforting, and a perfect vehicle in which to dip their crusty Italian bread. Now the real improvement came from my selected entree. While the Asian Shrimp Salad that I had ordered previously was just mediocre, the Seared Tuna Salad that I got this time was delicious! The plate included mixed greens, sliced avocado, julienne cucumbers, pickled onions, cherry tomatoes, and sesame-crusted, sushi-grade tuna, which I ordered seared to a medium rare. The fish was tender and perfectly cooked. Cups of wasabi and Asian dressing were served on the side and further infused a tangy heat to the dish. It was colorful, textural, and simply delicious. It was a real winner! Manera's Restaurant provided yet another enjoyable meal with dedicated service in a classy, yet casual, atmosphere.
