  Wing night Thursdays are an excellent time to go to Manos. The gulu gulu is a great craft beer as well

  Very salty food even after request for change. Very slow service. Waited for more than an hour in a non peak time.
  Good atmosphere, and very good music though!

  We went to this restaurant to celebrate my friend's graduation. I ordered a steak, and it took them exactly 58 minutes to bring my food.
  
  Once I received it, I wasn't able to eat the meat because it was SO salty; beyond description. Two of us had to return our plates and wait another 20 minutes for another steak to get ready. The second one was just as bad.
  
  I would have given negative stars to this place if it was possible.

  August 2017 was just here. It took an hour before our food arrived yet the place was nearly empty. My chicken was extremely overcooked and barely chewable and my salad tasted very old like it had been in the fridge for several days. When the waitress finally came around to ask how our food was, I told her and gave her my plate. She said that she'll check with the manager to see if there's anything that can be done about it. She returned 10 minutes or so later and said that I won't be charged for it. Hmmm...that's good since they had the dish. I ordered soup and was charged full price for it. Left the restaurant hungry and wondering if I should return.
  
  February 2017 Very good food. Nice interior with comfortable seating. It took 45 minutes for our food to arrive and the place wasn't busy at that time. We didn't see the server during this time but after the food arrived, she came to the table six+ times to ask how things were (a bit too much).
  
  May 2017 was just there; had fast attentive service from Jeremy.

  Came here with business colleagues and we were greeted by friendly servers and the owner himself. I ordered the Spaghetti and Caesar and it was actually really good! My colleagues had the Breaded Cutlets, Greek Dry Ribs, and Souvlaki and they loved it. The wine selection was superb and overall it was a very relaxing atmosphere and great dining experience. After our night here, I do think that Manos is the place to go to for amazing food, great selection of drinks and friendly service. My colleagues and I were impressed and we will be back here again. Thanks again Manos!

  I thought I'd give Mano's a try, since it's got some good reviews. Being in a hurry, I called ahead. This was fine, no issues here. The order was ready when I got there. I ordered the baked lasagna, and it was standard: Meat sauce, noodles, cheese. Flavourful, but nothing special.
  
  Overall, three stars for the overall experience. Minus one because nothing stands out about it, but also minus a star for service. Even 3 stars is generous, being that service is a very large part of a food service establishment.
  
  When I walked in the door, three girls were standing behind the front desk looking at me as if I had interrupted their conversation. There were no other guests waiting to be served. There were two take out bags on the counter and I looked at the one closest to me because that's where the payment terminal is, and I was waiting for the payment to go through. "Actually... That one's yours." She said somewhat in that snobby teenager way, sort of pointing at the small bag on the far end of the counter. No smiles. Bare minimum hospitality. So sad. :( Unfortunately, I will not be back.
  
  Reply:
  The focus here is the attitude of the host/servers, not the dining experience. The food can be amazing, but the attitude of the staff can be the game changer, or I can just walking away. After this experience, I can confidently say that I choose the latter.

  Great food and friendly service, consistently. Love the patio in the summer as well. EDIT: I think responsiveness earns a fifth star :)

  Booked a bachelorette party dinner here. The food was amazing, everyone raved how good it was! The service was impeccable and making a reservation was so simple and easy. We had a blast and I recommend this restaurant for all your special events needs.

  This is kind of like going home to eat. I love the lemon orzo / lemon rice soup. I can eat it all day. The steak sandwich is perfect every time. And don't get me going about the prime rib. It melts in your mouth and is always seasoned just right.
  
  This has been another mainstay in Saskatoon. The 8th Street location is absolutely beautiful. So very very worth it.
