We were looking for a quiet place to have lunch with friends from out of town. It was the perfect location to meet and the restaurant served the purpose for our meal and visit. The waiter was good about telling us about the specials and checking on us without being intrusive. He did take a picture of our four person group and was very nice about doing it. The food was good. I would recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for a place to have lunch in the area. More...

Good food and great service. The hard=surfaced bar area sends too much noise into the dining room.

I chose Manitou specifically for a gathering for my birthday because of the good food, the good service, that I could get a reservation and because I like it! Our server was friendly, patient and did a great job! More...

A little trouble with the appetizer being over cooked. Sent it back and the manager along with the wait staff was very apologetic, it came back as it should have and tasted good! There were a few things happening this evening, a twins playoff game and a wedding in the upstairs event center. Kind of an odd place to have a boisterous crowd for a twins game. When we left, the patrons were outside the back side door smoking, we had to walk in the middle of the crowd of smokers and no one seemed too interested in moving out of the way for us. Very uncomfortable situation let alone having to walk through a cloud of second hand smoke. We have been to Manitou many times over the years, the menu is somewhat eclectic, Irish Food, Italian entrees, a few steak options, some comfort food options, burgers, lighter fare of soups and salt combos. They used to have a terrific chicken pot pie but it is no longer offered, which is why we always went there, now its kind of hit or miss if we go there, only as a third resort. Bring back the pot pie and we may be regulars again. More...

Very pleasant atmosphere. The food was very good. We came in part to hear some music and were not disappointed. Skilled guitarist who could also sing well played mostly 60-70's acoustic stuff. We had a fun evening!

Due to a change in our reservation (24 hours prior) we were not able to be seated in a regular chair or booth. I was told when the reservation was changed that I would not have a choice of seats BUT we would not have a high table as one of my guests has double knee surgery and is unable to climb up.

The food just isn’t that great. The waitress knew nothing about your drinks. I be been here before and again your food isn’t great.

Always good food, but if crowed the noise can make it a pretty miserable place to be.

Great service - food was very good - three time dubs had the special. Just wish the weather was nice so we could have sat on the beautiful patio. We’ll be back.

We decided to go have lunch on Labor day. Many restaurants were closed and so we used open table to find this place. It was close and open. Parking was easy and location was easy to find. The restaurant is big and can certainly hold a big crowd. It was quite that day. This place has indoor and outdoor seating. The food was good and I would recommend Manitou Grill. More...

Good food, good prices. The patio faces the busy street but parts of the patio are a bit more secluded so that doesn't matter.

We sat on the patio. Lots of flies...I guess to be expected? Our waitress was overly busy and not attentive and had to send other staff to take care of the bill.

The Manitou grill is nicely appointed and has friendly staff. we were only here for beverages, but if we are ever in the area again we will definitely try a meal. I accidentally posted something else and deleted it because it was actually about the lounge down the street. More...
