We celebrated my mom's birthday yesterday, as we do every year because Manuels has been her favorite place to eat for the past 45 years. Our server, Grayson, took great care of us as well as the other staff that helped us out. The service, food, atmosphere, and extra birthday touches we all excellent. We highly recommend and look forward to returning soon and also to celebrating again next year. Thank you!
