Reviews The Manship

Outstanding! In town for work and gave it a try off rating. Salmon croquettes are phenomenal! So flavorful and despite being on the small plate menu it’s a very generous serving accompanied by delicious orzo pasta. It’s more than enough to be a full meal. But I also tried the prosciutto pizzeta which was excellent. They don’t skimp on the prosciutto! I sat outside but the interior is chic and loaded with personality. And the cherry on top was the outstanding service!

We were quickly seated on a Friday evening. I do not like sitting at a table out in the middle right in front of the kitchen doors. Would have preferred to be seated at a booth. I didn’t ask to change seats. I think that they should ask the guest their preference before seating. Service was extremely fast and courteous. We loved our waitress. At first, I thought I was under dressed. Then we saw several folks wearing their scrubs and hoodies. (The hospital is next door.) Alright then! That made the atmosphere feel a bit more relaxed and accepting. Spanish Home Fries and Boudin Balls were awesome. My husband really liked the pickled veggies. Frozen Porch Swing was good but very powerful lemon flavor. Not too strong alcohol though. Sweet tea lived up to Southern expectations. Lasagna was still boiling when served. Wonderful sauce and extremely cheesy. My husband’s lemon rotisserie chicken breast was a bit dry. (I have no idea why he ordered that.) Overall, we felt that our service and food lived up to our expectations and were pleased. We got in and out fairly quickly. Had plenty of leftovers as well. Just passing through. Glad we chose the Manship Wood Fired Kitchen.

We had a difficult time finding this restaurant (ground floor of Belhaven Medical Center facing State Street). We walked in for lunch around 1:00 PM. We were immediately greeted and sat. Everyone was friendly, our server was attentive. The food was delicious. I had the BBQ Shrimp & Grits. The grits were done perfect with Parmesan. The shrimp were fantastic and the sauce went well with all of it. Tom had red fish that was ok. One of the 14-year olds ordered the Margherita pizza that was super tasty and the other had lasagna that was oh so yummy. Our server mentioned Saturday/Sunday brunch, and we enjoyed our experience so much we made Saturday brunch reservations before we leave town.

Two of my friends and I arrived at this restaurant to have brunch on Sunday afternoon. There was a wait because this was during their busy hours. We ordered shrimp and grits, dozens oysters, smoked salmon, and chicken & waffles. Food was amazing!! The cocktails were strong and tasteful. This is a nice place to go to for brunch, I’m not sure if you can make reservations. But if reservations are available please make sure you do so to avoid the wait.
