Manera's Restaurant

My husband and I chose to stop here for dinner while running an errand to Manahawkin. We're from out of the area so we used google to find a good gluten friendly restaurant. We were more than pleasantly surprised with the friendly staff there especially Gio our waiter who was very helpful and informative! Thanx Gio! Then came the food.. My husband said he had the best crabcake sandwich hes ever had in his life! I myself had a very tasty steak perfectly cooked with delicious sides. Also really loved the salad and my husband really loved the french onion soup. After a delicious cup of coffee we left the restaurant completely satisfied and carrying a container with my yummy leftovers! 5 stars all the way!

We made reservations. They seated us on time. Table for 2. When we were seated at the table, the had us get up and move to another table. Not a big deal. Was wondering why because the table they moved us to was a 4 seater and they set up another 4 seater table in our place. The apps were excellent and the main course we're excellent. The desserts were a little miss leading. We ordered strawberry shortcake which didnt look like strawberry shortcake. And the brownie Sunday was a chocolate moist cake with fudge on top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The desserts were very good but not really what they told us. I thought for what we ordered the price was very reasonable considering we didnt drink any alcohol. They do offer gluten free options on the menu and they do have a children's menu. If you need to used the restrooms they only have 1 womens and 1 men's. There was a line to use the restroom because of the crowd. The rating overall was a really good experience. I would recommend to everyone! A+++
