Mana - Leavenworth

Mana is hands down the best restaurant in Leavenworth, and it was the perfect place for our wedding anniversary celebration. From the moment we walked in, the romantic atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The food was nothing short of art—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. What truly made the night special was the personal touch from the chef, who took the time to visit each table and share his story and the inspiration behind Mana. It was a heartfelt experience that added a unique and memorable dimension to our evening. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate such a special occasion. Highly recommend!

We were only on course 2 of the 7 course prix fixe dinner, and I was wondering if we could come back for a second night. The food is presented beautifully, a work of art, with an emphasis on the fresh, local, organic, farm to table ingredients. The entire dinner was a culinary pleasure for the eyes and tummy. I got the non-alcohol pairing while my husband got the wine pairing. I enjoyed the variety of drinks from the Huney Jun Raw drink to a Butterfly Effect to a Spicy Watermelon Recharge with the Mana Love Blend tea for dessert. For the August menu, the Abundant Garden, Smoke Beet, Hyssop-Hempseed Dressing, Dragon Tongue salad was a unique blend of different flavors of crisp crunchy flavors and textures which made it an absolute delight. I could get this all week, and I don 't even like salad, was my thought. I also enjoyed the Miso Black Cod with green garbanzo risotto, ponzu foam and fried capers. Inside was a simple, modern environment and the outside seating looked lovely with the lovely and widely spaced tables, perfect for a romantic evening. I saw a Facebook post by Hans, owner of the Obertal Inn, who had come here for his birthday, and the food looked amazing. I research local restaurants before I go anywhere and had not seen Mana before. I made reservations, and I am so glad we came. Mana will be the top of my list for reserving when we come to Leavenworth again! I loved the spiritual fortunes or notes at our place by the menu, such as Thank you for focusing on LOVE and expanding it always. You are full of love and spread love everywhere you go. Thank you for spreading love through your food and restaurant!

The prix fixe menu is excellent. Each course is thoughtfully prepared and executed, accompanied by perfect wine pairings. While dining here is more of a splurge or a special occasion for most, it's an experience you won't forget.

I had another delightful dining experience with a different menu (our third this year) and wine pairing on Saturday with friends. The standout dish for me was an incredibly flavorful beef dumpling served in a rich bone broth. My dining companions favored the miso-glazed black cod with ponzu foam. As always, the freshness of the ingredients was evident, and the imaginative combinations of flavors and textures made the entire experience truly remarkable. I'm already looking forward to returning to see what new delights Mana will create for us next time.
