Who we are:

Manny's is an Upscale Casual venture situated in the Lincoln Center neighborhood of Manhattan's Upper West Side. Opened in 2020 after the manager of the location's previous incarnation, Bistro Cassis, took the restaurant over, new owner Manuel Colon has since worked tirelessly to "take the restaurant to a new level." The project is now embarking on a transition to a more elevated take on the classic French Bistro concept, and the charismatic and knowledgeable Server will be a keystone of this endeavor.
