I had visited this restaurant when it was relatively new, and haven't been able to return until now. Highly recommend stopping here if you're visiting Manhattan, the brunch menu is fantastic. The dining area is spacious and the decor is unique. I really enjoy the open kitchen and being able to see the kitchen staff working on our food while we wait.

They have a nice assortment of both hot and cold brews, made using the hot water drip method. The Van Latte was really good, made with whole milk, sweet condensed milk and vanilla, served in a large mug. I finished it pretty quickly because it was that good. The sandwich was tasty and fresh. It's a nice space to get some work done or meet a friend. Service was friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend this spot.

We were a bit less than impressed with our service this time as there were some obvious regulars that the bartender spent most of her time with, which is fine, but we had a short beer and left.

The fun part is you get to press a button and they buzz you in. Then you walk down these stairs and enter into a cute little, intimate space. I was totally blown away by how friendly the staff are. The staff was very helpful and I felt welcomed and at ease. We also came in quite late but they were still able to accommodate a charcuterie board request after their kitchen closed. Overall I would definitely recommend this place if you're ever in the area. The drinks were interesting and quite strong to say the least. And Omgggg you must order the charcuterie board. The mustard is the best darn thing in the world.

I am a student at Kansas State. Naturally, this is not my average meal as I would consider this…read morepretty pricey. However, it was worth every penny that my family spent on my birthday, ha. I love eating for free. Being in downtown MHK, it's a relatively small joint. However, the spacing is easy to navigate, and the decor is very mature. They take themselves seriously, as they should! Anywho, tapas is a very European dining style, with small plates designed to not fill you immediately, so you're able to try several items on the menu in one night. After several visits now, I can say with full confidence that everything on the menu is worth trying and worth the money. The drinks are well measured and nicely balanced. They have experienced staff who know their menu, in the sense that their explanations are very informative. Please, treat yourself and get that basque cheesecake. It's pretty amazing! I'd recommend this to any alumni or parent taking a weekend to watch the cats give a beat down on the gridiron, and looking for a nice, memorable dinner with the family. Once again, students beware! This one isn't cheap! Lol.

The fam always loves this place and you should never let down the fam. Just frickin pleasant and ish XD

This is not a quick service bar. They actually make everything fresh from scratch, it's an amazing spot to find in MHK. 2. Start with a drink with a base liquor you know you like, then move on to something more adventurous. Every drink is balance and on the menu for a reason. 3. Try anything on the food menu; it will be delicious with an element of surprise. From a light snack to a full meal, you won't be disappointed. 4. Tell your friends. Bring your friends. Repeat.

We were staying in Manhattan for a couple evenings and wanted to try something local. Yelp brought…read moreus to Arrow Cocktail Lounge. It looked really cool as we walked in, late on a Saturday afternoon after an afternoon of sightseeing, although we were kind of surprised that it was not at all busy. We chose it more for the selection of cocktails, because we had eaten a big lunch and weren't that hungry yet. We told our server that, and she let us linger over a cocktail before even asking us if we were ready to eat. She got it! It's a lovely setting, in an old, beautifully renovated space. We were ushered to the area behind the bar and seated at a table. When we first got there, we were the only ones in the room. But as we stayed and sip our cocktails and eventually ate dinner, it filled up nicely. As usual, I drank Manhattans. Seemed appropriate especially because of where we were. Their Black Manhattans were perfectly crafted and very tasty. For dinner I had the Harissa Pork Ragu and my husband had the Fish Tacos. Both were very good, and right-sized portions. Overall, we loved it! We're hoping our travels bring us back through Manhattan sometime so we can come back!

It was a little late, but they were super busy with a large party in a private room. Once we got in and got seated, the delightful server took excellent care of us. My wife wasn't really hungry so she just nibbled off my plate. I started with a half of a wedge salad, which was delicious. They had a special on a piece of paper that night, which was a smoked pastrami, burnt ends sandwich with homemade rye bread. It was glorious! Very creative and fun. Since I don't love fries, they were kind enough to substitute deviled eggs as my side dish. I didn't know there would be an up charge for that but it's okay because they were delicious. We each had two drinks from the bar and they were made very well. They have a huge wine, seller and a great selection as one would expect by the name of the place. This restaurant has other locations in Lawrence and Wichita and I would eat at any of the three. Very cool menu and an amazing wine selection. This is really good food.

I love all the skeleton decor too. So glad we came here tonight.
