Editorial Review for Manuel's on the 28th – by Mary Meehan
The Scene
Situated on the 28th floor of the Bank of America building in downtown Orlando, Manuel's provides a stunning view of the city lights and the surrounding counties. Patrons often celebrate birthdays and engagements here, so the noise level rises as the wine glasses empty.
The Food
Outstanding entrees include the potato-tiled Chilean sea bass, deliciously grilled and seasoned with lemon and basil. Smoked duck confit is fire-roasted with squash and served with balsamic syrup. The sweet and flaky apple torte or refreshingly tart blackberry sorbet provide a sweet send-off. For something more extravagant, opt for the flourless cabernet-chocolate torte, with fresh fruit coulis and berries.

I went to Manuel's a couple of years ago, and I loved it. It is very highly priced, but the view is worth it. The staff was friendly & helpful. I know the food & the experience were both excellent, HOWEVER what is a must, is their lobster bisque. It is to DIE for. Since my Manuel's experience I have always tried to find a Lobster bisque as good as theirs and I still can't! Great dining experience yet pricy!
Pros: The View & Lobster Bisque
Cons: Price

From entry, to being greeted by a smiling eclectic face up to the 28th floor. The view over looking entire Central Florida by floor to ceiling windows was an awww. Upon seating was a knowledgable server complete with suggestions and excellence persistence. After recieving a great bottle of wine (with almost 300 different world class Grade A wines to choose from) was the suggested chefs brilliant appetizer for two. Followed entree's were the impeccable chilean sea bass as well the recommended lamb chops, incredible flavors. The best experience Orlando has to offer. Perfect for couples especially Birthdays and Anniversary's. Beautifull place, Thank you for the Perfect Experience. Will absolutly Return year after year!!!
Pros: Service, Food, View
