I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet--I come here all the time! Whether I need a change of scenery to get some work done on my laptop with a good cup of coffee, or I'm stopping by for dinner, this spot never disappoints. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I also love the newer additions to the menu, including lunch and weekend brunch. There truly is something for everyone. They also have a DJ on select days, which adds to the already great atmosphere. Be sure to subscribe to their email announcements to stay updated on upcoming events. This is a fantastic addition to the NoMa neighborhood, with an excellent ambiance that keeps me coming back.

I've been here a few times with friends for happy hour on the patio and drinks in the restaurant and plan to continue! The atmosphere is laid back but classy and the music is always a vibe. Each item I've had to eat here has been tasty. I don't know what it is about the arugula salad but I need it every time. read more

Manifest is one of the best dining experiences I've had in DC. Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food was excellent. I went for restaurant week and enjoyed the three course meal with cocktail pairing. Every dish was so flavorful and well balanced. Compliments to the chef, the hard work crafting those dishes really shined through. The cocktails were also really delicious. I recommend making a visit. read more

anifest 002 is the perfect location for a special occasion. Whether you enter through the barbershop, the café side, or the hallway foyer, the moment you head downstairs you're instantly immersed in a whole vibe. The lighting is intimate yet intentionalily setting the tone for the underground, modern, and sleek décor. The menu may be limited, but it's thoughtfully balanced and gives the feel of a chef's tasting experience. Every dish is designed to be shareable, making it easy and fun to create your own table tasting by selecting something from each category. Lex, our server, was absolutely the best. Personable, engaging, and full of great recommendations, he made genuine connections with our table and truly elevated the experience. His energy and attention to detail added to an already amazing night. To top it all off, plan to stay for a nightcap at the restaurant's speakeasy, After Hours, the perfect way to wind down, recap the evening, and savor every moment of a memorable dining experience. read more

If you liked the original Manifest, you'll love the 2.0 version. It's larger, more open, and feels bright and spacious while maintaining the same signature design. This location includes a barbershop, coffee shop, clothing boutique, bar, and full restaurant all under one roof. I stopped in just for a drink, but the restaurant was already buzzing for a Tuesday evening. The hostess and bartenders were friendly and welcoming. The cocktail menu is creative, though next time I may opt for a custom drink instead. I loved ending the night with French press coffee and a delicious chocolate cake. My only drawback is the parking--there isn't much nearby, and with all the surrounding construction, Uber is definitely your best bet.c read more

What a beautiful space and concept. Popping in for a latte and to work for a bit, Manifest is more than a cafe. It's a design-forward store with clothes, fragrances, and more, a bar, and an underground restaurant. Since I went for just coffee, I can only speak to the cafe. First of all, I really enjoyed my latte- strong and creamy. The barista was very nice as was each staff member. There's a long table to sit at or at the bar with a few outlets nearby. The wifi is easy to connect to and is strong. I'd go back for sure! read more

Manifest brings the vibe the DC scene needs! I always return to their first location for the drinks and enjoy bringing family and friends there! The new location is next level! Love the interior design, aesthetic, and layout. I hope they are able to take advantage of the space and host more events like Hanifa and wellness activities. I went to Manifest to celebrate my boyfriend's promotion with some cheers and bites! I enjoyed the white bolognese. 4/5 my boyfriend was skeptical about the food saying they are not an establishment for food but you'd be quite surprised. It was the star of the show! The cocktails were good! I was looking forward to getting my black savant drink I always get at their other location but note that the drink menu is different as there is different management I believe. So in that case, again, give the food a try! The host was kind in helping me communicate with my cousin which part of the location to make a reservation. If you are looking for the speakeasy it is the lounge/after hours. The bar is extension of the dinning area as pictured. I recommend everyone go and see for themselves the vibes and what Manifest has to offer! read more

10s, 10s, 10s across the board! Food, Service, Vibe! Had a fabulous girls night at Hour(s) Dining Room within Manifest! Manifest has a cafe/bar, gallery for shopping, restaurant and speakeasy lounge. Let's dig into restaurant: Do I have to break down all the food? It was all 10s! Grilled wings, White bolognese, Collard Green Rockefeller Oysters, Brussel Sprouts. Order it all! The only thing mid was the complimentary bread service. The bread gave store bought dinner roll! The butter was a candle which was so adorable. They did not miss on the details and providing an upscale experience! Make a reservation! Parking is non existent . Manifest is located on a one way street with limited parking. It's about a ten minute walk to a parking garage within Union market. Dressed for the experience for Manifest, they need to have a Valet or Uber. There were reservations for the speakeasy when I made my dinner reservation and thought I won't worry about it and see if there is a seat to not rush dinner. Rookie move! Make the reservation for the speakeasy at the same time! Needless to say I will be back! read more

(h)ours was an absolutely gorgeous bar experience. My friend and I got reservations for 6pm on a Friday, and loved how the space came alive as the night went on. Every design detail is studied and intentional; it's a futuristic kind of Miami Art Deco vibe. It reminded me of Glossier. As for the drinks and the service, they were unmatched. For the quality and complexity of the drinks, the prices are a steal (they were around $20 apiece). I didn't try any wine, but the wine list was carefully curated, and I liked how much Wonderwerk they had on the menu. I liked both of what I tried (in particular the first item on the menu, some acronym name that has a nut-forward taste). read more

Went here to try out their drinks as I heard they're good value. And I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment. I ordered the rose green tea drink and loved the flavor + size you get for $5.50 (including tax). Indoors, the place is chic and very clean. I would probably not use their barber services or try their restaurant downstairs, but I would absolutely get more of their drinks in the future. read more

I've always loved The Office at Manifest and I remember thinking that adding food to the menu would be such a dope idea. The new Manifest Union Market with (h)ours is a beautiful, contemporary dining concept. It's perfect for date night or a small group outing. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, and the overall vibe was relaxed yet elevated. We ordered the brussels sprout skewers, chicken dumplings, and candied yams which were all delicious. The candied yams comes with this beautiful sugar glazed lattice that sits on top. It's a true masterpiece to looks at. I also got to try the brisket, which ended up being my favorite dish of the night. Overall, I would definitely consider this to be an incredible addition to the Union Market area. Great food, great service, and the same energy from the flagship location in Adam's Morgan. Looking forward to coming back to check out the after (h)ours speakeasy next time! read more

Cool hipster place-nice to work out of but the music can be a little loud if you face meetings. The speak easy was cool-not too lively but nice to have an intimate night out. The drinks were $20+ no matter what you order. Workers/service were nice-except they're pretty strict at the speak easy one time. The quality of everything is upscale. Spacious, clean, modern. read more

My homegirl and I came from a late night pick me up drink and ended up ordering half the menu. The gnocchi and vodka sauce almost had me licking the bowl! So flavorful. Our espresso martinis were perfect! The vibe is cozy and sexy. I love the secret entry. I wish the music wasn't so loud, as the night progressed we practically were yelling at each other to hear. The service was very fast though and the waitresses had great recommendations. We will definitely be back! read more

Manifest 002 is the sister location of AdMo's 001 - this 2-level spot in NoMa has shopping options, a cafe bar, and a barbershop. After an appointment for the barber for the hubs, we decided to check out some of their eats - try the Caviar-topped Peking duck bites and the Penny Candy & Pickles beverage! We enjoyed their selection of clothing! Online booking is super convenient, and staff were friendly. Located in Union Market, there's plenty of parking in the area, both street and garage. +barber services +cafe bar +designer clothing available +located at the Union Market read more

The concept of the space is so creative, I love the barbershop play on a bar as well as street wear upon entry. The restaurant was located around the corner. The food pleasantly surprised me, even though the menu was small, everything we had was fantastic. My favorite dish was the roasted black cobia. It was so flavorful and each bite was so delicious and the fish was so buttery. The wings were also super delicious as well and perfectly seasoned. The Brussel sprouts with the sauce were also extremely tasty. I would 100% come back it's cute for date night or an intimate dinner with friends! read more

Manifest was meticulously curated to provide so much in one space. It definitely leaves you wanting to come back. When we walked in we were immediately greeted by a hostess. Past the hostess stand was their coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating, I must come back to enjoy. We were then escorted to a winding staircase which led to the restaurant. The restaurant had dim lighting and simplistic but well thought out decor. The servers were well versed on the menu and provided great suggestions. To start we were served bread with cheese, a meat(I don't eat meat so I can't remember what it was), and candle melted butter. The bread was moist and the combo was great together. For the table we ordered plantains and Brussels sprouts. They both were great. But the star of the day was the Lobster and Shrimp which was I believe was accompanied by an aioli made from scratch. The owner came over to our table and gave us a backstory of his vision which made me definitely want to come back and support them again. read more

My first time trying manifest (002) was on my birthday timeframe. It was a soft opening of the restaurant in September 2025. All of the food was amazing. The creation of how the food comes out was also tonight 10 it was literally edible art the char grilled oysters were by far my favorite jerk wings as well 10 out of 10 and the waitress was amazing. She was so sweet personable so much fun. They definitely made a joyous for my 36th birthday. One of the owners even stopped by and copped a really delicious dessert. I am going back tonight with a friend of mine who just moved into town I know people shouldn't expect anything from anyone, but from the experience I had last time. and the experiences my friends have had while hosting parties there and going for happy hour. I actually expect nothing less than amazing. You should definitely go and stop by if you're in the area. read more

Dined here last night and it was nothing short of amazing. When you enter through the main entrance, the setup of the venue is really nice--inviting colors, a great layout, and an overall great vibe. At the bottom of the steps, we were met by the host, Dina (Manager of After (h)ours), who greeted us warmly and showed us to our seats. Along the way, she even took a moment to point out different parts of the restaurant, which was a nice touch. Once seated, we were helped by Rudy, who did an excellent job explaining the menu and recommending items for us to try. The service overall was outstanding, and we had no complaints at all. Will definitely be back. read more

(h)ours hosted a group of 10-15 of us in the bar area and the service was top tier. It was an amazing experience and the music was a vibe. The bartenders were friendly and the cocktails were out of this world. Most of us ordered drinks, but I also ordered the wings and they were tasty too. This one of the most unique spots I've ever visited in Washington D.C. Highly recommend this spot if you're trying to get a group of friends together for a gathering! read more

Manifest is one of those places that just gets it. From the second you walk in, the vibe is on point--welcoming, cool without trying too hard, and clearly built with intention. Huge shoutout to KJ, the owner, who brings genuine hospitality and pride into everything about this spot. You can feel the care from top to bottom. And let's talk about the short rib burger because WOW. Easily one of the best burgers I've had--perfectly cooked, insanely flavorful, rich without being heavy, and absolutely worth the hype. It's the kind of dish you keep thinking about after you leave. Great food, great energy, and even better people. Manifest is doing it right, and it shows. Can't wait to come back read more

I went to Hours at Manifest for the first time and had an amazing time with my friends. Our waiters - Harrison and Paul - were so kind and attentive and gave us great food & drink recommendations.

We stumbled across this restaurant by accident. We were browsing at clothes and were suprised when we went downstairs & saw this restaurant. We sat at the bar and Telly was our bartender. He gave us a great rundown of the menu and suggested the best drinks & meals. He then suggested that we return on a Saturday to try their brunch. He did not lie! The French toast was sooo good! We had French toast, the short rib burger, and the fish sandwich along with their house made sodas. Sooo good! THANKS TELLY FOR PROPERLY INTRODUCING US TO THIS RESTAURANT AND EVEN SUGGESTING TO TRY THE BRUNCH! Food/atmosphere/customer service was 10/10 would recommend read more

Truly one of a kind--Manifest 002 is DC's best-kept secret. My friends and I loved every sip of the Guava Mimosa, Pineapple Spritz, and the Hibiscus Sangria (not pictured, but unforgettable). I followed that with the ricotta pancakes--fluffy, decadent, and perfectly sweet--paired beautifully with airy eggs and crispy bacon. The music set the vibe, making the entire experience feel fun and effortless. What really stood out was the hospitality: the owner personally visited each table to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. From start to finish, it was an exceptional experience. A solid 10 out of 10. read more

Food was decent. Cobia was 5/5. Plantain bread butter and extras were 4/5; cool that the butter was in the candle but it wasn't salty as I like. Raw oyster kiwi mignonette was overpowering, 3/5. Jerk wings 5/5. Key lime tiramisu 4/5. I would go back. They had good music but kept on skipping bangers! Good service with explanations on dishes and comfy seats. Next time I'm in DC I'll check out some other menu items. read more

I love this new restaurant and feel grateful I got to go to their opening week! Lex was fantastic--so personable, really added such a nice touch to our evening. And my sherry-heavy cocktail was such the perfect flavor profile for me that I couldn't bring myself to try another one and had to order a second of the same instead! My partner's cocktail came in a beautiful glass that looked like a mix between a genie's lamp and a beaker, which was so fun. Then...the food is ON POINT. There is nothing that I wouldn't order again. But...I also want to try all the other food on the menu, so we're at an impasse. The bread, butter, and charcuterie service is super unique--I won't spoil the surprise! The chicken and dumplings were also different and fun, both in presentation and taste--definitely don't expect what your grandma used to make. The white bolognese had such an interesting flavor profile with the addition of berbere spice. The grilled chicken wings and slaw were my partner's favorite--the flavor slapped and they were so tender, I think maybe roasted under a brick?? Finally, my personal favorite, the Iberico Secreto--it was just decadent. I would have eaten a whole new order of it if I hadn't been so stuffed. I don't even tend to love/choose meat--and this dish proved me wrong. It was like eating candy. Can you tell I'm dreaming about it right now? We didn't even make it to dessert, so we clearly have to come back. read more

Recently visited for a weekend dinner reservation - website provides that reservations are for members and the reservations open up for non members on Mondays. It was easy for me to book a reservation online. We entered through the main entrance with an easy check in with the hostess. We waited about 10 minutes browsing the retail area and then were greeted by staff to walk to another entrance and enter an elevator down to the restaurant. Seemed a little clunky to walk outside of the main area to another door and down to the restaurant when there is an entrance inside of the main area. Hour(s) has chic and minimal decor and the layout of the restaurant is intimate. The restaurant is a little too dark for my liking making it hard to view the menus and even dishes as they arrive to the table. The staff is phenomenal - Lex our server had great suggestions and knew the menu well - he checked on us regularly without being intrusive and other team members made sure our water glasses stayed filled and empty plates were removed from the table. Very great service. The food was great and is served tapas style however I felt the dishes were very filling especially the fried lobster and smoked brisket (which are on the higher end of the menu at around $60-70 per dish). The menu is very thoughtful and the flavor pairings are really good. I truly enjoyed the Brussels sprouts skewers. The ambiance and atmosphere is so sexy and the playlist was top tier if you enjoy 90s vibes and the like. Hope to visit again in the speak easy or bar area for drinks. Paid street parking available and nearby paid decks (I'm unsure if they have valet) $$$ read more

review is mostly for the restaurant (hours, downstairs). cocktails are interesting, lacking a bit of finesse at the price point though. food menu is a bit scattered, but everything is tasty. the space is beautiful, the bar is separate from the dining room, which is a little more intimate/lower lighting. there's also a "speakeasy" type lounge/hidden bar. read more

Really cool "third place" concept that serves as an all-in-one stop for hanging out with friends or going out for a nice date. I recently came here two nights in a row.

We had such a wonderful experience at After Hours at Manifest. We brought some friends who were visiting from Houston and they loved it. The drinks were fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for some after dinner drinks. A special shoutout to our server, Rudy, who made the experience even better. She was so kind and went the extra step once she found out it was my friend's birthday. You can tell she truly cares about the guest experience. We'll definitely be coming back soon and recommending this place to friends and family. Thank you for delicious cocktails and even better service. read more
