American restaurant in an upscale, yet approachable setting. Seasonal, locally foraged menu and a robust bar program. Described as "American cooking is rooted in survival, it is rugged, it is wild and somehow it is elegant. At manna we use local, regional and American ingredients almost exclusively. We are trying to paint a picture of American food that uses colors that are only born and hued here and the result is often very pure and often stunning. Come see America through our eyes."
