Manhatta

Why we recommend Manhatta in New York

We keep Manhatta on the short list of New York dining rooms worth a standalone night rather than a squeezed-in pre-club meal. Michelin or James Beard-recognized Manhattan dining destination. Outside Las Vegas, MyRSVP focuses on nightclub and pool-club bookings rather than restaurant reservations, so this page is written as a city guide: the room and its point of view, the menu cues, the practical timing, and the fastest way to reserve your own table. Use it alongside a MyRSVP nightlife or pool booking to stack the full evening.

What to expect in the room and on the menu

Positioned on the 60th floor of 28 Liberty Street, Manhatta delivers unobstructed views across Manhattan—from Midtown’s towers to New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty—framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that redefine the dining room backdrop. Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group operates the Michelin-starred venue, with Executive Chef Jason Pfeifer driving a seasonal, inventive American menu built on premium ingredients: think Oysters Manhatta with uni and Champagne sabayon, seared dry-aged duck with persimmon purée, and grilled NY strip steak. The $128 multi-course dinner showcases the kitchen’s precision, while the wine and cocktail program ranks among the city’s strongest—the bar itself functions as a nightlife destination with live music and creative cocktails like the Manhatta Mule. Design splits the difference between sleek modernism and warmth: open kitchen, warm wood throughout, intimate sightlines. The chef’s counter offers a front-row view of the action. Timing matters here—prime dinner and weekend lunch seats book out 28 days ahead, though weekday 5 p.m. slots and late-evening tables tend to open up. The room accommodates business dinners, romantic tables, and private events with equal composure.

Reservations — how to book Manhatta

A quick note on how to use this page: Manhatta sits on our curated New York dining shortlist, but MyRSVP doesn’t hold restaurant inventory here — that concierge service is Las Vegas-only. For the reservation, book direct with the venue on whichever channel they use (their own site, OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or phone). For a nightclub, pool day, or beach club layered into the same New York trip, that is the part where MyRSVP picks up — submit the form on the relevant venue page and we will coordinate that side of the evening with your dinner reservation as the anchor point.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

Here is the practical layer for Manhatta — the details you need before booking. Hours of operation: Monday–Wednesday and Sunday 11:30 AM – 9:30 PM; Thursday–Saturday 11:30 AM – 10:30 PM. Dress code: Smart casual — guests typically wear jackets and slacks or dresses; no shorts or t-shirts. Reservations tighten around Fashion Week (February and September), UN General Assembly week; on those weekends, plan to book two to six weeks out depending on the seating type, and ask about chef’s counter, bar dining or private-dining allocations if the main reservation book reads fully booked.
