We stumbled on Manhattan Bistro today when tired and hungry in Soho - it was the first place to sit down. We came with no expectations and what a great surprise - contrary to everything written before the food and service were great. This was by far the best eggs florentine I've had in NYC in years - soft english muffins, perfectly runny eggs, smooth hollandaise sauce and fresh blanched spinach - for under $15 - pinch me! When my wine selection was out the waiter brought over a sampling of something he thought I might like. I will definetly give this place another try. The table next to us said the gazpacho was excellent.
this was the most disappointing resurant I've ever been to. The waiters were clueless of what you wanted. The pasta was so over cooked that there was no need to chew. The chocolate mousse wasn't chocolate mousse and have no idea what it was. The creame boule was just pudding in a dish with out the hard sugar coating... The best part of the whole meal was the bread and coffee. So if that is what you like to eat this is a great place for it.... NOT WORTH THE TIME OR MONEY
