I have been to this place a few times for a brunch. First time was about 10 years ago with college friends. Was there with my sister a year or so ago. It's always been decent food. Had brunch yesterday with my boyfriend. I wasn't immediately sure what I wanted and they took FOREVER to come back. I hate when the waitstaff leave you hanging just cause you want to think for a minute. Then I ordered the brunch special which comes with fresh squeezed OJ cause it costs a lot on it's own, so I figured do the special. Then I got a TINY glass when I expected a large tall glass. They offer you coffee or tea with the special too, but that hardly costs anything, so why do they skimp on the orange juice? I ordered the Leo Omelette which has lox and onion in it. Was good, but the lox was salty. Overall, it's a quiet street and nice place, with decent food, if you can deal with waitstaff that isn't the most friendly or attentive. And ask how your food is coming so you aren't surprised. Beware of the brunch special!

Was starving after a long shift and was craving my favorite breakfast food. A good eggs floretine is hard to find in general, but this was amazing and at 3:00am! The spinach was very fresh and the sauce was made just right. Service was fast and polite. Great job!

Overpriced, tasteless food, unless you count the taste of grease. Strange, indecipherable ingredients in some items, such as the "cocktail sauce." As for the environment, it may as well be a funeral home. Couldn't pay me to go back.

Some of the soup here can be excellent. Everything else is pretty much typical diner fare. They seem to think much more highly of it, however, judging from the prices. We recently ordered a large cappuccino (the typical size everyone walks around the city with) and were charged $5.40!! And this was sub-Starbucks coffee, sub- most other cappuccinos I have ever had. These people don't seem to realize they are running diner. Their food is sometimes a little better, soemtimes a little worse than a typical diner's, and I would be willing to pay better than diner prices for it. What I'm not willing to pay is Four Seasons prices for run-of-the-mill diner food and portions. We were shocked at the discrepancy between quality and price. Pretty arrogant, even if it weren't a recession.

It was a sunny afternoon on sunday, and Manatus was the perfect spot for a late breakfast. Pleasant atmostphere, fast service, and delicious silver dollar pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon! I'd definately return.

Went here because we were hungry and most other restaurants were crowded. That should have been a clue, although there were not that many empty tables. My partner had Chicken Oregetano with potatoes and a salad. It was not bad. I had the most tasteless burger I've ever had (even with lots of salt and pepper) and fries that tasted of almost rancid grease. Ugh. This is one place I'm not returning to.

After an late-night search of the better part of Soho and the West Village for a place to get a malted, we found Manatus promising us a malted made "extra-thick" for an additional fee. After we ordered, our waiter asked us to move to a small, two-person booth because our order totaled less than $10 whereupon he served us a runny shake in a water-glass with no accompanying metal container or spoon. And he was a jerk to boot. Fell disappointingly short of basic diner expectations.
