I took my wife to Manning's for lunch today. We both had the angel hair pasta. She had it with shrimp and I had mine with shrimp and chicken
The food was very good. I don't like salty food and the way this was prepared was perfect for me. The wife needed to add salt but she also enjoyed her food very much. The food was a solid 4 stars.
The problem is the service was terrible. We were greeted at the door with a smile and seated immediately but that's where it ended. The waitress came and took our order and that was the last time we saw her until she brought the check. Someone else delivered our food and no one ever came to us and asked if everything was ok. We never got a refill for our drinks. We were never asked if we wanted coffee or dessert. This would have been ok if we were eating at a Waffle House. Not ok when we are paying $20 for a pasta dish.
It takes a lot for me to leave a bad review on a restaurant but this was just totally unacceptable.
Final thoughts: I don't mind paying a premium price for good food but I will not accept bad service no matter how good the food is.
We will not be eating here again.
