One of the great dinners of my life. – I recently enjoyed a fabulous birthday dinner at Twenty Manning in Philadelphia. The food was incredibly well prepared and presentedit will be remembered as one of the great dinners of my life. The service was very friendly and attentive. What really makes this restaurant special is chef Kiong. Twenty Manning is steeped in the chefs warm, gracious personality and love of people - from the first moment you meet him you feel as if you are in the company of an old friend. By all means, che... read more

Usually good, sometimes very bad – The first two times I went here I had a great time - the first time was for a company-sponsored event, so we had copious amounts of food and alcohol. The second time I tried the $30 prix fixe menu which was also great. After two good experiences I was surprised by the reviews noting bad service, but the third time around was terrible. It was the weekend of my graduation, so I made a reservation three weeks in advance. That evening I arrived and they had no idea what happened to my reservati... read more

Cool Location, Bad Food – It's a little hip spot that looks like a NY joint. Unfortunately the service was mediocre and the food not very good at all. Not recommended.

Terrible – I have been to Twenty Manning at least five times because it is a cool place and each time I hope that the food and the service will improve, but it doesn't. This past Sunday was my last time. Every single entree at brunch was AWFUL and the service was terrible. Two of us got out entrees 30 minutes before the other eight at the table. Another person had to send her omelet back because it was inedible. It was one of the most unpleasant dining experiences I have had in Philadelphia.

fabulous! – I had a fabulous time at Twenty Manning. The food and service were excellent. This is definitely a splurge place though. I thought it was too noisy to be romantic, but if you get an outdoor table, it would be much more date-worthy. I'll definitely be back to Twenty Manning.

Trendy hot spot, interesting dining choices. – The sleek, cool interior of Twenty Manning can get pretty noisy and packed, which is why I didn't rate it highly as a date spot. Still, the bar mixes some good cocktails, and the menu is overall fairly successfull. Seared tuna is set off nicely by coconut black rice and sweet potatoes; sweet crispy shrimp make a nice appetizer; fried calamari are tasty if slightly greasy. The beef over noodles, while good, tastes no better than what you can get in a Vietnamese noodle house elsew... read more

hot nights at the manning – can't reccommend this place enough. sleek atmosphere to go along with the beautiful people...the customers as well as the staff! right out of the pages of vogue. located on "the other side of the park" the manning" as it is known around the neighborhood is a great spot for late afternoon or late night. in the summer time the entire restaurant opens its windows to bring a little slice of the outside in. seating for both inside tables and outside is plentiful. just make sure you call ahead for a res... read more

good times. – I really enjoy this place... the people are great, the food is tasty, and the atmosphere is wonderful and relaxing. I love going here for dinner or just a drink. Outside seating and open windows make this place great in the summer. Highly recommended.

I approve – Usually not too crowded. A nice place to relax, get some food and drinks, and most importantly, meet people. Kind of a not so secret neighborhood spot.
