Having been there several times, and only when someone else's corporate credit card was on the line, it appears Manny's exists solely so wealthy west suburbanite males can puff out their chests, say "I just had a 32 ounce porterhouse at Manny's" and think they just did something "cultural" and masculine. News flash fellas: there's better steakhouses in the Twin Cities, and what passes for "humor" at Manny's isn't funny. The place is tired and screams pre-dotcom crash economic excess. I feel like someone should be giving me the hot tip on "pets.com" everytime I have to go there.<br /> <br /> Better steaks are readily available at St. Paul Grill, Capital Grille, Jax, Kinkaid's, Morton's, Ruth's Cris and any number of other places. And far and away the best steak I've had in the Twin CIties was at Gianni's, so all you Lake Minnetonka types should skip Manny's, save twenty minutes on 394 and a fill-up on your Escalade, and try the food right there in Plasticland. I mean Wayzata. Would someone please explain the attraction of Manny’s?

Both times I had rock star parking right in front.<br /> <br /> Red Stag totally agree, good food, poor service. A friend was there on Friday and had absurdly bad service.<br /> <br /> Where on Nicollet Mall are the tamales or Manny's tortas? I've got to get over there this Thursday. Wait, back to food.
