4.6 / 5.0(2,002 reviews)
The food is delicious with good seasoning. Excellent service. Waitress very friendly, professional and courteous. I recommend Burgers were good. The server was very intense and pushed a lot for a tip. This was at night at about 12:00 PM. At around 12:45 PM they will start pushing you to leave, since they are no longer 24 hours and instead close at 1:00 AM. It was odd because there were new customers sitting as we were getting pushed to pay and leave. Well another round of chemo and a great lunch at Manolo’s. It’s my breakfast and lunch go to spot when I am in Santo Domingo! Today we had the spinach dio for the first time and we devoured it in no time flat. It was better than expected or we were just that hungry. My date had salmon with arroz con habichuelas and I had the Cuban sandwich (never disappointed)!

Amazing Staff * Tasty Food * strong drinks I had an amazing dining experience at this hidden gem — the kind of place tourists never hear about. It took me over a year to find it, and no Dominican tipped me off! Unlike many spots in the DR run by foreigners or managed by Dominicans (full of scams), this place delivers: delicious food, fair prices, and fantastic drinks. The bartender crushed it. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Great place, friendly service with a large variety of dishes, which are offered at a reasonable price and great quality. The Sancocho is very recommendable. Great dishes in general. There is open terrace and air conditioned sala with nice ambience. Also a free parking space with very attentive service. We really like this place. A recommendation.
