Mana Restaurant

I love an omakase experience, so I was excited to find one in leavenworth. Of course there are dishes and flavors you love (skirt steak) and some that aren't for you (ravioli) but are nevertheless, excellent. My largest food-related suggestion would be a rethinking of the non-alcoholic pairings/mocktails. My partner liked 2 of his drinks, I only liked one. That has never happened to us before and it was disappointing. The flavors were not enjoyable at all. But the second suggestion i would make effected everyone at our table. It was freezing in the restaurant (and outside, as we were made to wait outside until staff were ready). And as the experience progressed, it only became more pronounced. We were all ready to go by mid-meal and putting our coats back on while we ate. So please, I realize it's winter but this can be improved upon for the diners.

We had an incredible meal to remember with friends. The staff and atmosphere were warm and welcoming. Every detail added to the experience, from the soft lighting to the abundant use of plants and the upbeat instrumental music. The food and wine were exquisite - learning about each dish before tasting made the experience even more meaningful. Worth every penny. Hope we get to return some day.

My Husband and I dined here for our wedding anniversary expecting a memorable and luxurious experience. We left feeling as if we over payed for twigs found on the side of the road. The food was horrible and honestly very disappointing. The best part of the dining experience was the wine. We have had much more memorable dining experiences elsewhere in Leavenworth save your money.

One of my top 3 favorite restaurants in spite of having eaten in many big cities at Michelin Star and James Beard award winning restaurants and celebrity chef establishments. Mana was exquisite from the food to service to atmosphere, I have very little to say that isn’t just incredibly positive. Their wine pairing was spot on and at an approachable cost compared to most fine dining. Many places claim to be Farm to Table but this often ends up being lip service, Mana truly embodied this with high quality veggies, seasonal variety, and a staff that was not only knowledgeable but completely enthusiastic about their offerings and where their food comes from. It’s such a gem for an area of Washington that isn’t anything like the bustling culinary scene of Seattle and I hope to be back someday.

We dined here for our wedding dinner and we were blown away! The staff went above and beyond to make our evening feel extra special. The combination of flavors and the creativity of the dishes were top notch. Being a foodie, this was such a nice treat; and something different to enjoy in Leavenworth (primarily having only German options gets old). We sat outside in a small greenhouse that had heaters. They also provided blankets. It was such an intimate and private setting, that we felt like we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Each chef came out and explained the different courses and food preparation styles. We also ordered the non-alcoholic drink pairings, and they were divine. We absolutely could not have asked for a better dining experience for our wedding day. We will be back for our anniversary!
