Manuela in LA’s Arts District was a highlight of our visit—terrific food and superb service. The barramundi sea bass and signature venison burger were outstanding. Don’t miss the Archie cocktail or the tequila with macerated yellow peppers. And coming from Southerners, trust us: the biscuits are to die for! We’d happily return.

We took the lead singer from the show at the Wiltern for that night to this restaurant because of its proximity to the venue. We were extremely pleased with the experience we had there. It made our city look GOOD!!

I dined at noon at NOE before my Opera perfomance which I usually do. The place is quiet which I like, the food is good and super reasonably priced, although a bit higher than several months ago. The service is always consistently excellent, responsive and caring! I had the Papardelle with scallops and it was delicious. They also always have my favorite Pinot Noir by Meiomi! I was a bit disappointed, however because LA Opera advertised a special Magic Flute cocktail for eating here and it was not available for lunch, but only dinner! Overall, I reommend this venue as I often come here and if I want to work, I can eat and do both!

    A spectacular meal. We did the Main Dining Room Tasting Menu. Every course was so carefully thought out, with unique flavors, top-quality ingredients and beautiful presentation. The trout and the lamb were two of my favorite dishes, but all were excellent. The traditional wine flight paired well and included a nice variety.

    It was our first time trying it and it was AMAZING! We went for an earlier dinner but it was becoming more packed as we left.
