text: After watching the prior tenant Bellasera Bistro try to open and never really do so we watched for what seemed to be months as Mannys tried to open as well Finally they have done so to great fanfare Well let us just say that they are at least opennnThe first thing that is a bit odd about the place is that they are perhaps Mannys Mediterranean Cafe or Mannys Neighborhood Grille I must confess that even after eating there I really do not know which There are signs for both in the place and there is even one sign that suggests that perhaps both are available for franchising I looked online and it looks like there are a grand total of five locations covering both concepts and no clear indicator of which is which or why So your guess is as good as anyonesnnWhen it comes to the decor there are mediterraneanlike pictures that may be Ancient Greece or just generic pictures on the walls There are LCD television sets tuned to European sports channels And there are seats That is about it Not a lot of ambiencennThe service is friendly if not especially helpful but that seems to stem from the company For instance if you look at the web site for help on the loyalty program you will find that it tells you about rewards That is about it No details or anything else At one point we were told that you can get ten points per dollar at which we should have jumped all over it because at another point we were told a off coupon and another you get a certificate after spending Now I do not really have any idea since even online it does not tell you much It seems to revolve around a base ten numbering system I thought those came from the Romans not the Greeks but it is all Mediterranean so who knowsnnAnyway when it comes to food it is a bit of a mishmash there as well The quality of the dishes we tried was good but it was an interesting combination and definitely more Mediterranean than Greek The hummus was tasty and perhaps one of the best things we had The Souvlaki was served with lamb rather than a more common pork around these parts The burger was fairly tasty and the pizza was good if a bit on the bland side Generally portions were described as large but I am not sure I would go there our teenagers easily took care of the shared calzone and could have done so individually as well
