The Manor Bistro

I wanted to take my husband out to a new (to us) restaurant for his birthday. When I called and made a reservation, I specifically said that it was for a birthday. The woman whom took the reservation failed to tell me that they do not acknowledge birthdays whatsoever. I've lived in Edmonton for 15 years and have gone to several different restaurants and never once have I eaten at a restaurant that didn't do at least some little thing for a birthday. When I paid for our meal, I asked the waitress about it (thinking that there may have been an error) and she said that they don't do anything for birthdays. She said that she could sing Happy Birthday to him if I wanted her to. My husband was already out in the car at this time. If you are out celebrating any special occasion, do not go to this place. Go to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse where they will have Birthday confetti and a signed birthday card on the table waiting for your arrival. They will also give you a free dessert. Most places will give you a free dessert or a free drink, sometimes even a free appetizer or a meal! Oh, also, the window that we were sat next to was cracked in such a way that there was a hole in it and had very sharp edges. There was cold air blowing in. Had it been a chilly night, it would have been very cold sitting next to that window.

Food was solid (all four in my party ordered different entrees and nothing stood out as exceptional, but good eats nonetheless). Service level the few times I've gone has been excellent. Atmosphere is nice and cozy but also a lot of oldies in attendance.

A fun place for brunch in this quaint converted house. Sometimes it gets quite busy so making a reservation during busy times would be good. Prompt food service. Noise level gets loud inside , even when not the restaurant is not at full capacity. The food was better quality and tasting the first time we went a couple months ago. But the food was good either way.

You can tell that a lot of care goes into creating the food at The Manor. The servers and hostess are all very professional, and work hard to ensure that each guest has a great experience. The atmosphere is casual as well as elegant which makes for a very relaxed and cozy dining experience. The servers are very knowledgable when it comes to wine, cocktails, and beer suggestions. A great place to enjoy good wine, and great food with friends.
