I haven't a clue how a fantastic restaurant like Mantee ends up with a 20 on here. In fact, I think this whole scoring system is warped. I've had 28s and 29s (food) and they paled in comparison to places like Mantee. I had a fantastic dinner at Mantee this past weekend. Having Armenian parents from Lebanon and growing up eating our traditional dishes gives me a spoiled palate. But the food was fantastic; decor charming; service perfection.
The appetizers are the things to get. The Mantee are a very al dente filled pasta served in a milky type sauce. They are very interesting. Everything we have had here has been very good.
good food. We thought the portions looked small but the flavors were so good that it satisfied everyone.
Best food I have ever had! The baked Mantee was unreal and the Grape leaves were insanely delicious.
I'm rooting for this little restaurant to hang in there because the food is tasty and the staff wonderful.
