The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen was the second restaurant I ever visited in Jackson. Over the past year, I've been back more times than I can count, and I always take my friends and family when I have visitors in town. The Manship's service, atmosphere, and plate presentation is really great, offering a wide variety of options for different types of eaters without making the menu overwhelming. Hands down, the Manship serves the best pork belly dish I've had in Jackson... and I've had a lot of pork belly. The Manship has daily menu rotations and seasonally modifies their dishes with local flare. Recommended: The pork belly, smoked Caesar salad (with extra anchovies), the Funghi, Farm Egg, and Bacon pizza, and any of half-fish specials.

One of the best additions to the food culture of Jackson in the past couple years. I had my rehearsal dinner here, and experienced exceptional service, food, and atmosphere throughout the whole thing. Their food is absolutely delicious, and ranges anywhere from a nice tender steak to a perfectly seasoned fish to a hot and sizzling pizza. They have food for every price range, especially if you hit up their happy hour when you can get discounted drinks and pizza. This will be one of Jackson's staples in the upcoming years if it isn't already.

I visited the Manship one afternoon for lunch. I ordered the shrimp po-boy and although it was slightly salty, I enjoyed it. I wasn't impressed with the parmesan fries. Very nice atmosphere and I definitely will eat here again.

Every time I come to the Manship, I try something different. And every time I try something different, I love it. This is definitely one of Jackson's best and most creative restaurants. Worth trying!

This is a really nice spot in Jackson - and while the vibe is casual, it does look fancier than most places. Our server was extremely nice, made some great recommendations and checked in on us from time to time. This is one of the cases where great customer service really made the overall experience so much better. Blue crab sandwich - this was a whole soft shell crab, inside a sandwich. I love crab - but I've never had a whole soft shell crab. This was interesting! It's a pretty big sandwich, and I managed to do some good damage on it, but couldn't finish. I think this was one of the specials - so it might not always be on the menu. It came with a side of parmasean fries - eh. I should of picked another side. These were very thin cut fries (I prefer thick cut fries). I know for next time to try one of the other sides that looked great. Ended the meal with some blackberry cobler - They have a free dessert as the Check In offer on Yelp! Got this one and it was delicious! Possibly my favorite part of the meal. There's a nice cocktail and beer list as well - I can see this being a great happy hour spot. Might have to drop in for a drink next time I am in town.

Very good, prices are a little high but you get what you pay for - worth the price. I had a wedge, shrimp and grits, and a baked apple. Would go lighter next time as my meal was a little heavy. Delicious nonetheless. Free Dessert with Yelp check in was a big bonus. I'll be back, no doubt.

Great libations and wild game! The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen is located on the first floor of the Belhaven Medical Office Building. The parking garage is accessible from Manship St. or Poplar Bvld. I arrived during happy hour when cocktails are half-price; I took advantage of that. I started with a drink called the "Best Damn G & T". My preference for a G & T is prepared with Bombay Sapphire Gin. This G & T was sweet and refreshing; it was not overly sweet. I saw cooper mugs at the bar and knew my next drink would be one of my favorites, the Moscow Mule. The bartender did a good job with the drinks. I like duck and had to try the duck wings. The duck wings looked and tasted like they were braised in a citrus glaze. Six meaty and tender drummettes, garnished with scallions and an orange slice. Although there appeared to be other good entree choices on the menu, since I like wild game, I ordered the rabbit ravioli. Ravioli stuffed with ground rabbit and topped with Pancetta and what looks like snap pea shoots; it was a great choice. There are a few selections for desert, I was deciding between the peach cheesecake or peach cobbler. I went with the peach cobbler. Prepared with peaches grown in Mississippi, the cobbler is served in a small cast iron skillet, topped with vanilla ice cream and garnished with mint leaves. The cobbler was on the cool side when it arrived at my position at the bar, but still good and complemented by the vanilla ice cream. The desert was on the house with my Yelp check-in. I would visit again.
(5)Lisa G.
Food was amazing as well as the staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, from explaining the artist & artwork on the walls to the best recommendations of what to eat. Jake was my server and did not disappoint with the rabbit ravioli with pancetta and chocolate silk tower for dessert! He even brought me a spoon to not miss out on all the goodness of the most flavorful sauce! Telling everyone at the conference to try this place out.
(5)Kevin W.
Duck wings and ribeye deckle will absolutely never disappoint. I chose the cowboy special tonight and am overly stuffed and happy. Throw in some crab beignets and this place is by FAR the best, freshest and imaginative menu in Jackson. Add the fact that the price point is perfect.
(5)Andrew B.
LMAO I just looked at the page and the special offer is for a free "desert" instead of "dessert". That advertising is paying off! Way to go Yelp
(5)Aminah M.
We found this place on Yelp and we were not disappointed. The ambiance and decor were great but the knowledgeable waitstaff and Delicious food are what make this place a winner for me. We ordered the Mediterranean shrimp salad and the farmers market pizza and added sausage. We ate at lunch and the portion sizes were great. Everything was super fresh and tasty. The salad was fresh, presented well and the shrimp were just melt in your mouth good. The pizza was a tad greasy, but it didn't take away from the flavor. We got the free desert for checking in, and ordered the cobbler. It was DELICIOUS. The crust was so light and crumbly I could eat 2 of those by myself. In short no complaints. My server Brandon was not only knowledgeable but he was also super friendly and just made our dining experience A1. I'll be back to check out dinner for sure

This place is straight up fantastic. I've been for lunch, brunch, and dinner several times and have never been anywhere close to disappointed. Everything is masterfully done. Let's start with the atmosphere-- the restaurant is relatively small, but still maintains a spacious and open vibe. There's seating at the bar as well as some high top tables for smaller groups when you first walk in. Then, in the proper dining room, there are both booths as well as tables. This is an excellent location to bring a group, especially if you're celebrating. Situated right in Belhaven between Fondren and downtown, this place is central to all the going's-on's here in Jackson, and is a perfect place to start your evening. But let's talk about the food. I eat out relatively often and can be a bit of a food snob, I'll admit. This place regularly blows me away. Everything I've had has been phenomenal. The first time I ate here, I had the steak and it was by far the best steak I've had in town. Better than any of the restaurants "known" for their steak! Since then, I've had a variety of dishes from salads to brunch to pizza and everything has left me raving. The menu changes regularly, and features a bevy of local vegetables and produce which I LOVE. I wish more Jackson restaurants would do that. It shows a certain pride in this city, which goes a long way with me. This is a fantastic date locale. It's classy, not stuffy, and quiet enough that you can hear yourself chat but not so quiet that no one chats. Their bar is fully stocked and their drink menu is extensive. They offer a fantastic variety of wines and beers, but I've always been most impressed by their unique and finely crafted cocktails. Service, for me, has always been great. The only time it's ever been a bit slow was when I stopped in for a late lunch but that's to be expected at any restaurant when the wait staff is switching from lunch to dinner mode. Even when it's a bit slow, the wait staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful-- always ready with a recommendation or a menu suggestion. Overall, I can't say enough good things about the Manship. It's one of the most excellent restaurants we've got in town, and I'm so glad to have it here in the neighborhood. Check it out! You won't regret it!

The manship is one of my favorite sit down dinner spots in Jackson, and it's my all time favorite happy hour! Half off pizza's and drinks- YES! Every pizza I've eaten so far has been divine, and the porch-swing and heat index always hit the spot. As for dinner, simple sides like potatoes or and veggie dish have satisfied my appetite. The duck and the filet are terrific. We used the Manship for our wedding rehearsal dinner and were so pleased! The services were great, and all of our guests were extremely happy with their food. I recommend them for events, for happy hour, and for a fun date night! Definitely in my top five for favorite Jackson restaurants.
(5)Rob J.
My wife and I love to use yelp to find not so hidden treasures across the country. Today, we found Manship! The Duck wings and greens were excellent. You should share your meal and be wise...and leave room for the cobbler! Nobody does cobbler like Mississippi!
(5)Ryder T.
Soon after The Manship opened, I had dinner there and was very impressed. Jackson has had a lot of good restaurants (and still does) but this one really took the cake in all ways. The food was amazing, the service top-notch and the atmosphere felt like I was in a much bigger more impressive city. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food! They have an excellent brunch - probably the most creative and tasty brunch in Jackson right now. The happy hour is also not to be missed. Half off cocktails and pizzas is perfect for an after work drink and snack or a full blown early dinner date! The last time I went to the happy hour, the mixologist (I only use the term because he was actually our waiter at the time, not the bartender, though he had come up with many of the cocktails) was happy to hang around and tell us about how the cocktail combinations had come about. The staff is always knowledgable about where the food comes from and how it is prepared. The only issues I have had with them is weekday lunch - but this is a more difficult time for most restaurants. The food was excellent, of course, but the service was a little lacking. That is to be expected at a busy lunch place like this, however. MAC & CHEESE LIST - This Mac & Cheese is different. It is not your standard comfort food style, so if you are looking for Velveeta (no judgement zone - sometimes we are!) this is not your place. Today it was Pancetta Mac & Cheese (see pic) which was awesome, but it has been a different formulation in the past. Definitely good, but lighter on the cheese than most places. Worth getting for sure though. MUST HAVE DISHES IN JACKSON - The Best Damn G&T. Like the name says, it is the best G&T you'll have, at least until you figure out how to make it yourself. They make it with top notch gin and Jack Rudy tonic. I wouldn't advise the new BDG&T version 2.0, the tonic is gross.

This place is great! It has only been opened for a year and half, but they have received awards such as Best New Chef, Best Restaurant, even the sous chef has gotten accolades. The Manship is a huge space, but also welcoming with a more than competent wait staff. The drink menu is extensive and eclectic. The shrimp and grits were out of this world, the pimento cheese is a perfect creamy texture with a little heat. My crawfish pizza was amazing. The crust was just crisp enough to hold up to the buttery sauce. They have a great happy hour with half price pizzas. The strawberry tart with ice cream was the perfect compliment to finish the meal. The Manship is one of the very few reasons to visit Jackson again.
(5)Abigail H.
Favorite happy hour in Jackson. Incredible food, great drinks. And the service there is wonderful. Take any recommendations they give you.
(5)Shay R.
Filet was delicious! I got my order To-Go and the steak was perfect. Fried okra was also delicious.
(5)Allen T.
This place is excellent. If I have someone visit from out of town, this is the place I take them. Menu always changes and I have never had anything I do not like. Great service and great food. If you are in Jackson, you should not leave without checking this place out.
(5)Amin A.
Actually a 3.5 star Was visiting Jackson because corporate hq is centered here and had to attend training. Prior to arrival I mapped out all the restaurants that I wanted to try and Manship just so happened to be first on the list. Day one after training I went to the hotel, changed, and went to manship to check out the Jackson food scene with 2 other colleague . The decor was beautiful and the restaurant very clean underneath a hospital it was apparent that the customer attraction was young professional- the restaurant was very busy- we were seated immediately. The waitress introduced herself and said that the restaurant had many different foods but many dishes have a bit of Lebanese twist and spice added., since the chef was Lebanese. We ordered the tuna dip, and duck wings as appetizers. The duck wings were very good and greasy but had barely any meat on them. The tuna was actually a very good dip. For an entree I ordered the Rabbit pasta- to my surprise rabbit was a little salty of a meat- but furthermore the pasta dish was incredibly small- this was unexpected for a 18 dollar dish. My colleague got the strip steak which tasted remarkable but was a very little bit. The third colleague ordered a pork shoulder- which I cannot comment on because I do not knowingly eat pork. The desert was the best thing i got Tiramisu which was free with checkin was absolutely delicious maybe the best thing I got Anyway with 2 appetizers, 1 entree, 2 drinks- 62 bucks. Not bad - it just didnt really satisfy portion wise. Regrets: I would get the pizza. I would return.
(4)Cherry D.
Had lunch here on a Saturday afternoon with a couple of friends. We ordered the chicken, pork, and beef entrees, as well as a couple of alcoholic beverages. The pork was a little on the sweet side for my liking, so I ended up not eating my dish. The beef had a good Mediterranean flavor and it was really moist. But the chicken was on point! I would definitely go back for the chicken. My mouth is salivating just thinking about the chicken. Can't wait to go back.
(4)Brenna M.
Yelp has not let us down yet! It helped us find this awesome little restaurant, Manship Wood Fired Kitchen. We had Grouper with Polenta & Tomatoes/Veggies, Italian Crab Claws, Parmesan Truffle Fries & their Brisket as well as a Pepperoni Pizza with 2 Fried Eggs. Ridiculous. Food Porn. Oh, and their Bread with Seasoned Olive Oil is fantastic. Our three year old devoured the Italian Crab Claws & Brisket!
(5)Claire S.
Extremely mediocre and pricy not for the portion but because it was kind of gross. Chicken was terribly dry with no flavor whatsoever, yet sitting in fat. Pizza suffered from the same dry chicken and artichokes were incredibly tough. Waitress never did a quality check, which was probably the worst part. She didn't have a full section and never once asked if everything was okay. Mac and cheese was probably the best part and even then - it was 2/10 at best. Won't be back. Won't recommend it to anyone. Best part was the drinks, which were well made.
(2)Melissa M.
I've wanted to try this for awhile and happened to be nearby today. The place is bright, clean, and well appointed. Love the abstract art from local artists hanging in their gallery. Our server was quick and friendly. We'd gotten a gluten-free menu from the host, but our server went the extra mile and took it back to the chef who told him the dish we wanted was not gluten free and also cooked in the same oil as non gluten-free items. Fortunately we aren't that sensitive but we appreciated his thoroughness in verifying the items. I ordered the salmon salad but asked for the kale to be changed for the local lettuces, omit onion, and add feta. They did this without a charge (although they did leave onions on - no problem as I could easily remove them.) My dining partner had the simmons catfish with parmesan fries. Our order came quickly given the lunch rush. My salad was very good. The portion was relatively small, but it ended up being enough. It included lettuce, finely diced cucumber, kalamata olives, roasted red pepper, and a feta vinaigrette. My son had 3 nice sized filets and a cup of fries. He liked the fish but really raved about the fries. He said the parmesan permeated the entire dish, not just the fries on top. Being yelpers, I pulled the listing up and saw a free dessert with entree offer with check in. We had the chocolate mousse. It was excellent and a nice sized serving. It was a complex dish with several layers and flavor profiles - chocolate, crust, ganache, cream, raspberry drizzle, and mine. And it was complimentary, so there's that! I will go back and try something else. It was above average food and service. Prices were a little steep for lunch (2 entrees, no drinks was $35 with tip) but it was very good.

Now that I have a toddler, we have to make every date night count. The Manship is our most consistent go-to spot for a great experience. You can enjoy The Manship any way you'd like: cocktails and small plates, pizza and beer, or steak and wine. Whichever route you choose, you'll find fresh, local ingredients and the wood-fired grill accentuating everything. We've had excellent service every time, and the decor is bright and clean, contemporary but still comfortable. The open kitchen adds a nice buzz to the room.
(5)Luke C.
Regular spot for me and my wife. Always pleased with the food and service. The local sourcing of ingredients is particularly appealing. You're doing it wrong if you don't order the au gratin potatoes.
(5)Molly G.
I love this restaurant! Happy hour is a great deal... Pizzas for $5 and cheap fancy drinks! The best drink is the Porch Swing. It's a sweet adult lemonade with alcohol. Careful, though, the drinks are strong! I also love the Jerusalem artichokes and the broccolini. The tabbouleh is thick and mushy-- you might want to skip this dish. The bread is to die for.
(5)Jess D.
four stars because it looked and smelled awesome, but don't let the two dollar mark symbol fool you. it is very expensive. at least for my budget. but restaurants with same symbol have half the price

We were in town from New Orleans celebrating our anniversary so the pressure was on to find the perfect restaurant. The restaurant and bar area were full when we arrived with one party waiting but we were sat right away thanks to the convenient reservation I made on my Yelp app a few hours earlier;) On to the service/food experience... First of all the seasonal menu is amazing and I had a really hard time narrowing down my choices because I wanted one of each! We asked the server tons of questions and he answered all of them patiently and honestly. After thorough discussions with the server, browsing through Yelp photos and some meditation, we ordered: the white bbq wings, marinated crab claws, burrata apps, ribeye deckle, parm reggiano fries, mushroom bacon egg pizza entrees and for dessert the chocolate mousse and tiramisu. If youre having as hard of a time deciding as we did, here's the breakdown: Wings were delicious, nothing out of the ordinary though Crab claws are the only thing we wouldnt order again. They were tasty but we expected them hot which thru us off The burrata was the best Ive ever had. Ribeye deckle are medalions that melt in your mouth and is AMAZING. The pizza had generous amounts of exotic mushrooms, nice chunks of meaty bacon and a perfectly cooked poached egg that just made the bite velvety deliciousness. I am a french fry connoisseur and I wouldnt change a thing about these. Perfect size with perfect amount of salty cheese in a perfect portion. I even left a few which is hard for me to rationalize still today. Our desserts were complimentary thanks to our yelp check in! The tiramisu is more of a dulce de leche with a slight taste of Bailey's. It was good, just not your typical espresso soaked. The mousse was excellent with a dollop of raspberry that complimented it well. Overall it was an awesome anniversary dinner and we would recommend Manship to everyone in the area. ($160 after tip: 3 andygator draft beers + 1 heavens milk martini not mentioned)
(5)Christine G.
I was brought here after a job interview, absolutely fantastic food! It was nice enough to sit outside. The staff was nice and accommodating, always a plus. I got the beef Poboy, absolutely delicious. 2 others got the chicken shwarma and nothing was left. The Spanish fries were amazing. A touch spicy, but that's ok. For the dessert, I got Tiramisu. A little on the creamy side than what I'm used to, but that's ok (others weren't a fan). There was also this lemon tart thing with sherbet which was also delicious. If I ever end up back in Jackson, definitely a place to go!
(5)Elizabeth C.
Great food! We were totally stuffed but still had to order some of the delicious desserts. Our server, Alex, was a doll.
(4)Krystal C.
This establishment was great. Well lit, clean, excellent atmosphere. The bread brought to the table was fresh and served warm. I ordered the chicken wrap. The chicken was well seasoned and juicy. The pita was fresh and toasted just right. The tzasiki sauce was excellent. The truffle fries were fantastic. I wish I could have snuck an extra order home for later. My husband enjoyed his fried oyster po boy and home fries as well. Highly recommended.
(4)Vicky O.
Our evening at The Manship was not good at all! Our waiter never introduced himself as our waiter (he just appeared and asked for our order) nor told us his name (our receipt says his name was Brandon). In fact, his first few words to us included labeling my friend 'sassy'. We should have known then what would follow... Let's back up...I made a reservation, arrived on time and still had to wait to be seated. Not very long, maybe 10 minutes, but what's the point of a reservation if you have to wait? I wasn't a big deal so I let it go. Anyhow, as I was led to the very back of the restaurant (by the kitchen) I passed by 2 open tables that could have fit our group. I let that go too. My friend and I waited at least 20 minutes to place a drink/appetizer order along. Thirty minutes later only one of the two appetizers had been received. The other appetizer never appeared and our waiter was so inattentive that we had to flag down another server...whose only response was that he would ask our waiter about the food. After an hour of bad service we did not bother ordering entrees and took our business further down State Street to Surin, where the service was EXCELLENT! Also, if you choose to eat at The Manship (which we will no longer be doing) DO NOT EAT THE BREAD! Our table was in the back next to the bread station (the worst table possible even though we made reservations and there were other tables open!!!) and ALL of the servers handle it with their bare hands. Gross. Gross. GROSS. The funny thing is even though we were so close, our waiter never bothered to provide us with any bread during our one hour stay. And when we asked for our check, instead of asking what the problem was or if we wanted anything else, he handed us our checks (the only thing he did promptly) with a vibe of 'good riddance'. That is not okay. I will say that the pork belly was pretty good (Table 100's is better IMO) but the culture of bad service is unforgivable for any dining experience. We will no longer support this business and I plan to share my experience, good and [mostly] bad, with other Jackson foodies.

To start you must try the Porter. Brewed just down the road in Hattiesburg. Best I've had in a long time. Nora, Caroline and I shared the pasta with lamb special, the shrimp with grits and two veggies, spinach and asparagus. All first rate. I started with the Caesar. The dressing was a bit under done but still good. The croutons were great. I usually don't eat them but these are a don't miss. Afterward we had ice cream with strawberry tart. The tart is really tart but the perfect compliment to the vanilla. I'll be back.
(5)James H.
Their Gin and Tomic is great! I haven't had anything that I haven't loved. It's quite good. Prepare for a short wait at times though.
(4)David M.
On my first visit, I had the fried catfish plate and Parmesan reggiano fries. The catfish was extremely hot and fresh. The coating was unusual - a little heavier than what I'm used to but still very good. The fries were the best part of the meal - covered in just the right amount of parmesan. The environment is really nice. It's clean, bright, and casual but still feels like fine dining. As it was lunch, I didn't try the cocktail menu but they had a wide variety of interesting options. I think what I like best is that it's locally sourced as much as possible and everything is really, really good quality. I'll be back to to try the dinner menu soon.

Visited Manship for the first time early on a Sat evening. Parking is a chore at the Belhaven building. The interior of the restaurant is clean and modern. Even though they weren't yet busy, because I had no reservations we were placed next to the bar. I chose Manship not because of the menu online but because of the outstanding pictures of actual dishes they post on Facebook. There is nothing on their appetizer menu that appealed to me. I heard people mention the tuna dip and the waiter recommended it. It really is tunafish with a smoky taste plus saltine crackers and some fancier bread crisps. It tasted OK but I would not order it again for $13. For a salad we ordered the wedge and Mediterranean. The wedge was standard, but I was not impressed with the Mediterranean. I guess I was expecting a Greek salad but this was very different. It had little dressing and was crunchy due to the chickpeas. I would not order it again. Finally for the main courses we had the duck breast and red snapper special. The duck was tasty yet a little chewy as duck often is. The snapper was outstanding - a light flavored fish over risotto and a few squash slices in a wonderful broth. Both dishes need a side so we shared 3: broccolini, fried okra, and tabbouleh. All 3 were terrific. The broccolini was well seasoned, the tabbouleh was good with a little more tang than is usual, but the standout was the fried okra. This should be on the appetizer menu. They were delicious whole fried okras with a roasted red pepper dipping sauce. They are addictive. Overall the Manship was a nice experience. It's too bad the standard menu isn't more to my liking - lacking in appealing appetizers and a larger selection of seafood entrees. But the main course was outstanding - I definitely would return again. Even though we had 3 different people try to take our drink order, the wait staff was pleasant, friendly and attentive.
(4)Brandon M.
Went in tonight for dinner and the meal was terrific. We started with the pork belly which had a fantastic flavor. Our party had the pepperoni pizza, Amberjack, salad, potatoes au gratin and spinach. Each was perfect. We finished the night with blueberry cobbler which was a perfect end to the night. Mitchell was our waiter and all his recommendations were on point. Stephen, the GM, made sure to check in with us several times to make sure the meal was great. All in all this was an outstanding meal!
(5)Christian And Angela C.
Excellent food. Don't forget to check in for the free dessert. We had the red fish, lamb pizza, and rabbit ravioli. Also the Jerusalem artichokes, carrots, and braised greens as sides. All was excellent. Fish was light and flaky. Pizza wasn't too greasy but the lamb is strong just as a warning. Rabbit ravioli was a bit small but again not too greasy and the rabbit isn't too strong. Just slightly chewy and very tasty. Artichokes aren't actually artichokes but actually sun chokes like fingerling potatoes. Carrots great. Greens good but a tad salty. Minus one star bc my parents didn't like the server Patrick and the tirimasu was pretty meh. To be fair two people recommended the apple cheesecake so must try that if ever back in Jackson.
(4)Christopher S.
When this place opened, there were long lines for lunch and dinner...with good reason! This is an excellent restaurant - upscale, great food, local products in the dishes, and full bar. The Pimento Cheese appetizer is outstanding - fresh and homemade! This is American - Mediterranean fusion, meaning they have woodfired pizzas, brisket specials, sandwiches, and some typical Med dishes (some Med Chicken and other dishes...to be honest, I can not get past the salads, pizza, and sandwiches...oh and the daily specials are excellent). You probably will need a reservation, and they accept Open Table (love the iPhone App). Good service, good food, local ingredients, full bar - 5 Stars.
(5)Patrick C.
Outstanding food & bartenders! See Brian and Josh. Very knowledgeable & experts in mixology!
(5)Emma D.
4 adults came for dinner. We arrived early to beat the crowd. The bar was fairly crowded. We all ordered something different. The Frito Misto, a fried food appetizer, had a few nice plump oysters and some regular size shrimp along with many popcorn shrimp or something fried, plus some fried squash, artichoke hearts and some very tough fried asparagus. It was accompanied by two OK dipping sauces. The pizza was so-so; the filet was a filet. Other than an overpowering sauce the duck breast was tasteless despite an appropriate amount of fat. The salmon was bland. We shared side dishes. The roasted cauliflower was charred but essentially raw and barely warm throughout. The spinach had been barely wilted and contained an overabundance of stems and garlic. We enjoyed excellent coffee and the house merlot was good. All in all I would not recommend The Manship and do not plan to return. The music was not well chosen and was much too loud to allow for pleasant conversation. The desserts were all quite good - tiramisu, chocolate mousse with raspberry sauce and cobbler with iced-cream. The cobbler was remarkable for not being too sweet. Our service was excellent.

So glad to see that more and more local-focused restaurants are coming to Jackson. It's been a while since I've been back to the city, so I was pleasantly surprised to see to the new Belhaven building. We tried to make dinner reservations for my sister's bday at Manship for Saturday night, but they were full, so we went for lunch instead. So glad we did. First off, the ambiance is wonderful--very laid back but well thought out decor. A huge blackboard is displayed right next to the open air kitchen--listing the locally-sourced ingredients at Manship. I had the Fennel Sausage pizza since they have a wood fired oven. It was delicious as it sounds. The crust was crispy and flavorful just as it should be. My sister got the duck leg, egg, and polenta brunch special--that was out of this world good. And the boys went with the Italian Panini sandwich and Roast Beef sandwich--which they were really pleased with. The waitstaff left something to be desired--didn't refill water until we asked, switched up the order, and almost spilled the sandwich on one of us. That's the only reason I knocked off a star. Otherwise Manship is well worth going to.
(4)Kent S.
I cannot believe how amazing this meal was. Truly exceptional! The duck wing appetizer is confit and the crisped and tossed in a perfect soy citrus glaze. The scalloped potatoes were possibly the best potatoes I have ever had anywhere. The special tenderloin small plate they had was amazing too. cooked sous vide and then grilled, topped with a curried jicama concoction. We went here on the way to New Orleans. We went to quite a few highly recommended restaurants while we were there and we thought this was the best meal of our whole trip.

As a foodie, I thoroughly research via yelp Restaurants trying to find a great choice. On our way to Florida, stopped in Jackson MS. Manship was everything the reviews said; it is so worth the stop! From the porch swing drink, the pork belly app, and the Egg, bacon pizza, everything was delicious. It is so refreshing when a chef takes passion in the fresh, best ingredients and takes pride in using them in the most creative and delicious way! Spectacular!
(5)STEVEN W.
Great happy hour prices. I had the Scallops, they were a little salty and would not recommend. However, the server asked to redo them and I ate them as is. The bread before the meal was great. They have a huge selection of alcohol. The pizza was great and looked delicious. I would try this place again.

Oddly enough EVERYTHING was great . I had a bone in ribeye with a veal reduction sauce with a farm fresh fried egg on top. My goodness was it good!

I came here on a Monday night, definitely a little crowded but we were seated immediately. My friend recommended the "porch swing" OMG. Heaven sent. It was amazing and had a great flavor - not too overbearing with lemon. We ordered the pimento cheese and bread as an appetizer as well as the pork belly over creamy polenta. Both were great and not much was left on our plates. The pork had great flavor and the pimento cheese spread was a great addition to the garlic bread. I ordered the gulf shrimp as my main course. Angel hair pasta with olive oil and Italian spices with lots of shrimp. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and the spices on the pasta really topped it off. Our server was outstanding as well. This place definitely stands out as a favorite! Will be back the next time I am in Mississippi!
(5)Maddie P.
Excellent! We split the the small house Italian salad and the fried soft shell crab BLT sandwich. Both were wonderful! The fried okra was the whole okra stalk with red pepper relish and my favorite thing we ordered. They have an unofficial kids menu and my picky kids loved the hamburger and cheese pizza. The hamburger looked good, but one taste of the pizza and we kept sneaking bits from the kids! Excellent, friendly and fast service.
(5)Beth P.
I have now eaten here often for both lunch and dinner, my best test for is a local place going to be consistently good - and this place passes with flying colors! Service and staff always friendly and the food from salad to sides to entree has never disappointed.
(5)Jonathan V.
My family and I went to the Manship last night and we were absolutely blown away by everything they had to offer. The service and the food were impeccable. I highly recommend the Ribeye Deckle or the Duroc Pork Shoulder for your entre. After having a bad experience the first time we went I was hesitant to go back, but I can honestly say that after the amazing time we had last night we will be going back on a regular basis.
(5)Jose R.
This place is a true gem. Stopped by with friends and the appetizers were flawless(do not miss the duck ham and the pork belly both were to die for!) The entree portions were delicious and we ordered the range of steaks, duck and fish, all were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The side portions can be shared and the risotto shiitake and grilled cauliflower were simply delicious. We ordered two desserts to share and they were also outstanding, this place is fabulous.
(5)Josh C.
This place is a breath of fresh air to the Jackson dining scene. Had a great meal here, and was treated so well by the staff. I recommend grabbing a few things, and sharing them. (Mary Katherine was a really fun, and knowledgeable server. She really helped us hone in what we wanted, and if I could poach her for my restaurant, I totally would have!)

I'm from California I found this place on yelp while visiting family here Jackson. Driving up it was hard to tell what everyone is talking about, but when you walk in its a beautiful restaurant. I came here on Friday and like it so much I came back on Saturday. Tried the BBQ wings, the greens, the duck, and the mac&cheese. Everything was so good and the waiters and staff were really cool. Everything here is fresh and local. If they ever decide to build one of these in L.A.
(5)Javan C.
All I have to say is "meat and cheese" the selection here was awesome and simple. I had the five selection of meats and cheese it was great. For desert had the peach caramel dessert. A must try if your I'm the area.
(5)Dan T.
The pork belly app is the best thing you could ever eat.
(5)Sam L.
New restaurant in new Baptist Medical center. Staff is friendly and very responsive. The lunch entrees we got were the special of the day of brisket, potatoes, and Brussels Sprouts with bacon. Tasted fresh and a great deal for $11. The steak kabob could use a little more refining. Price of $14 comes with 1 side but no starch (rice pilaf would go great) which can leave you leaving unfulfilled. The meat was cooked very well, but 2 main drawbacks: way too much oil is left in dish intended to be part of the sauce and not enough bell peppers to add some crunch to the dish.
(3)Jason M.
Casual fine dining, pleasant atmosphere, excellent service and outstanding food. Had the 8 oz filet and it was out of this world. If you're looking for a classy evening in Jackson that won't completely destroy your wallet, this is it. Will definitely be back again!
(4)Rich R.
Couldn't believe I found this in Jackson Mississippi - the food was amazing, drinks superb and service to boot. The bacon, mushroom and egg pizza rocks.....what the won't tell you on the menu is the pizza has a nice hint of truffle on it.....excellent.... Ask the bartender for a signature cocktail to start, you won't be disappointed. Apparently the largest selection of spirits in Mississippi - maybe but I can't confirm that badge but I can confirm they are well stocked with whatever you want, even small batch varieties of gin and bourbon.
(5)Peter C.
They know how to cook here. Most everything I have had here has been delicious. Some of my favorites are the duck leg confit, the pork chop, the pork shoulder, and the rabbit ravioli.
(4)Eats S.
My work buddy and I are foodies from LA and have been in Jackson filming a movie for the last month and only discovered this place this past weekend. We were greeted with a smile by our server/bartender Nick. Although he was very busy at the bar, he was always very attentive. The food was amazing and delicious! I was kicking myself wondering why I didn't discover this place EARLIER! We ordered the Pork Belly app, the Caesar, the mushroom risotto, the prosciutto pizza, and the Pannacotta dessert with Red Wine poached pears with a raspberry drizzle with phyllo crisps. Everything was spot on, plenty of flavor, and all the right balance of textures. The pizza comes with four silicone ramekins of condiments - fresh dried fragrant oregano, grated parmigiano, large sea salt flakes (Maldon?), and what every pizza should have sprinkled on it, red chili flakes. Nice touch! The prices are fair, you're getting great quality, delicious food so you should pay accordingly, you get what you pay for. We are here for another week and plan to be there practically every night till we leave! The manager Steven does a great job of trying to get to know all the patrons and makes sure that everyone is having a great experience under his watch. This place is truly a gem! Highly recommended.
(5)Christina M.
Upon entering the restaurant on a Friday early evening we were asked by the hostess if we were there for happy hour. We replied that we were really there for dinner and were seated in the back of the restaurant. The menu stated that happy hour was from 3-6 and included 1/2 price pizza and discounted cocktails. My husband ordered a beer and a pizza and I had the shrimp and grits. Service was ok. Food was good. However when the bill arrived we were charged full price for the beer and pizza. When we mentioned to the waitress that it was still happy hour time and could we get our discount, she replied "no, that's only for people sitting in the bar or patio" and would not give us the discount. She said this happens to a lot of her customers and the conversation is always awkward but there wasn't anything she could do about it. Not sure why sitting in one place qualifies for happy hour prices when another location does not, wish this was made clear by the hostess when we were seated.
(2)Elizabeth B.
The food at the Manship is wonderful; I've liked everything I've eaten. They also have a great happy hour with half price cocktails and pizza. The bartenders are really friendly and great at recommending cocktails to try, and their Best Damn G&T is to die for. My only complaint--and the only reason it gets less than 5 stars--is that the hostesses are absolutely abysmal. They're not attentive at all when you walk in. Recently, my friend called to make a reservation, and the hostess told her no reservation was needed that evening because the restaurant wasn't crowded or booked at all. Well, when my friend arrived, despite all but 3 tables being empty, the hostess said they couldn't be seated for 45 minutes b/c all the tables were for reservations. The hostesses really bring down what is otherwise an amazing restaurant and definitely one of the best in Jackson.
(4)Ryan D.
I rarely ever write reviews, but the Manship boasts amazing food mixed with great service. I tried the calamari (excellent tomato sauce) had the hanger steak with grits. Everything about this meal was perfect. The chef has opted to avoid superfluous amounts of sauces and veiling ingredients and has chosen to instead perfect the meats with basic seasonings. The entree sizes are perfect and the wide variety of addon side items allow for dozens of combinations. The atmosphere is also excellent and the staff is top notch. This is something Jackson has needed. Update: noticed that I had $20 tacked on to my final bill without any knowledge of why only to realize it was their corking fee. FYI
(5)Betty D.
Great ambiance, great service, great food. Fully loaded bar with lots to choose from. I've been on the hunt to find the perfect fries in Jackson, and my hunt has come to an end. Duck Leg Confit was also crispy and amazing. Highly recommended!
(4)Tiffany L.
Great atmosphere inside. Menu is kind of limited. I had a tuna panini and it was good. The roasted brussels sprouts were the best part.
(4)Angela P.
I have been meaning to try this place since it first opened, and I am so glad I did. Loved the food! The table bread and infused olive oil was perfect. All the food was seasoned to perfection. Had the okra and oyster appetizer, the corn & crab bisque, and the fungi bacon and egg pizza. That was one of the best pizzas I ever have eaten. I'm definitely coming back for that one.
(5)Justin J.
Great place. I had the brunch special. Baby back ribs. Different, but good. Go try it.
(4)Aaron Ray A.
The staff of the Manship will attend to your every need. The food is tasty and unique and the ambiance is fun and lively. If you are looking for a place to have a drink and appetizer you have found your place. The massive bar is beautiful. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
(4)Kris E.
Had the bone - in special cowboy ribeye. Fantastic. Nice people here too. Checked in for a free desert.

I'm not one to write reviews unless I really love a place or really dislike a place and am convinced the public should know. The Manship is different...I have a strong liking for it but left feeling a bit...uneasy or something like that. The good: The food really is good. The chef(s) did their homework. A simple presentation with eclectic flavors that stay true to their respective cuisines. We didn't order huge quantities of food, just a few dishes, but they were very well done. We had the Warm Castelvetrano Olives. These were spicy and properly drenched in a thick olive oil. The Oyster Gratin was flavorful...slightly more watery than I prefer, but still very good. The Oysters were good. We are more used to naked raw oysters. We are noticing that in this region, oysters are dressed up a bit. These were not overdone with being dressed up. The Redfish dish was very good. It was our first time trying Redfish so we have nothing to compare it to, but my husband and I shared this entree and were sort of fighting over the last bite. Also, they have a decent wine selection. The atmosphere is very nice. It's understated with a mix of Jackson-chic. Whatever that is...it worked and I liked it. Okay, for the less-than-good: This was a last minute date night. We had a babysitter for two hours--that's enough time to sit and enjoy food, but not enough to go anywhere else. So our time at The Manship was all we got. Perhaps that's where the real issue resides. The service was good in the sense that we were paid attention to. In my opinion, there are two major things that could go wrong with food service: 1) You are not paid attention to; 2) You are rushed. We were rushed. Perhaps the Saturday night two top table is one that is to get in and out. I've never worked in the restaurant industry, but I do know a few things. But, this felt like they really want to get us out of there. Our server made us feel this way. Therefore, I shouldn't say "they." It was almost comical. Of course, my husband who is usually pretty even-keeled lost it and made a comment to our server about being rushed. After that, our server would not look at us. My husband proclaimed that he will never return. Now, I thought that was a bit dramatic, but I think his point was that if you're going to go somewhere, feeling rushed and therefore feeling uncomfortable is just not worth it. Having said all of that, I think The Manship is still working out the kinks that all new restaurants encounter. They are good enough to stay around for a long, long time. I hope they read these reviews to help them. In the meantime, it's definitely worth a try! And I'll be back.
(3)Lincoln H.
by far the most innovative and new bistro in Jackson. Dined 3 times now and each time has been a good experience. I think their Pizza is the best thing on the menu. We have liked their wood roasted veggies. They try to source a lot of their food locally. Service is fast and friendly. Like all new places in Jackson you will need a reservation or show up early. Very noisy up by the bar.
(4)Tess W.
Had a couple cocktails at the bar and a to-go pizza. During happy hour, cocktails and pizza are half price! I am not usually a fan of gin and tonics, but it came recommended by a friend and the bartender. Did not disappoint, I had a second. I ordered the fennel sausage pizza, very delicious. I was able to split it between two sittings. Looking forward to going and trying more of the menu!
(4)Mike P.
The Manship is a fantastic little restaurant tucked neatly underneath the Belhaven wing of Baptist Hospital. The décor is warm, friendly and eclectic. I felt slightly under dressed at first--button up shirt and slacks--but the Northeast Jackson Socialite crowd kept showing up in 3 piece suits, gowns and clutch purses. I guess that's fine if you like to dress up for dinner but come on--you can buy pizza here for crying out loud. The silverware is wrapped in a dish towel -therefore tuxedo not required. Anyways, the crew easily accommodated my reservation for two and gave us plenty of time to select champagne, appetizers and entrees. Our table had the Traditional Hummus--it was excellent. Not too oily or too much garlic. The pita was warm, moist and not dry. I had the filet while my guest had salmon. The meals are served a la carte but thankfully they encourage sharing. We added broccolini to our meal and my guest selected a Cesar salad. It took maybe a tad longer than I would have expected for our food to arrive. However the presentation was simple and excellent. Filet and Salmon were cooked to perfection. Both meats lacked any type of significant flavor though. The brocolini was out of this world and my date's salad was superb. All in all it was a great meal deserving of maybe a little more than four stars. We had a nightcap--I had a craft beer and my guest ordered a cocktail. Their bar is extensive and I will hopefully return to explore that. Also, I wish I would have explored the wood fire pizza or the charcuterie but that's what a first experience at a good restaurant should be. Leaving me with the urge to return and try more. Kudos to the The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen--keep up the good work.
(4)Wendell P.
My seventeen year old daughter says "We should like come here all the time". This is a glowing endorsement from someone in that age group. The adults agree.
(5)Gray S.
It's in Belhaven and it's got a great atmosphere, staff is friendly and patient, and the food is okay! It's got some sort of vegetarian options, but I would warn vegetarians to be very careful and make sure what you ordering isn't made with meat broth or fried in duck fat. The bottle wine list is pretty good, although by the glass selections could use some work. The pana cotta is phenomenally balanced. You can sit at the bar and drink some amazing cocktails.
(3)Bill T.
We were driving from Dallas to Tuscaloosa and used Yelp to find what appeared to be a great new restaurant, The Manship (odd name, but it's the name of the side street where it's located). This place was absolutely terrific. Very busy at lunch but good service and excellent food - we both had fish. The parmesan fries were a little garlicky for us but otherwise wonderful. We stopped here again on our way back home and had another perfect lunch. We'll keep this place in mind for sure - it's a great addition to Jackson.
(5)Tawonna W.
Everything was delicious!!!! Will definitely be going here often! The crawfish beignets were awesome, as well as the gulf scampi, and the red fish!!!!
(5)Rose K.
The broccolini was fabulous, but I wasn't a fan of the wood fired salmon. I think it was the wood fired taste that threw me off. But if this is a taste you enjoy, then you will love the Manship. And don't forget to order the broccolini!
(3)David S.
I came here for a drug rep dinner. Dinner is always better when it is paid for by someone else. This was my first time. I was immediately greeted at the front door with smiles. The room was great for presentations, and it has a great atmosphere. There was beef on a stick, fried oysters, duck. All delicious. The mozzarella? cheese was not so good. The service was fantastic and I liked the new hand held computer order system. The drinks were very elegant and appropriately sized. I really enjoyed the brocolli soup. When it came the the main course, I was underwhelmed. The presentation was excellent. I enjoyed the sliced potato dish. The Filet Mignon was not tasty. It was great quality meat, cooked medium rare like I ordered, but zero flavor. Another physician got the chicken. He claimed it was too big and no flavor as well. My wife got the fish, and she really enjoyed that. I guess I will get that next time. Not what I want from a wood grill though...! The meats need more salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, olive oil, marinating, etc.... There were two that ordered the veggie plate, and both were especially happy with the artichoke hearts. I will have to get a side of the artichokes next time. The quantity of food for the veggie plate was too much. (More is not better) I got the chocolate moose which was excellent. The two ladies next to me didn't eat their tiramasu and kept stealing the chocolate moose off my plate. So I don't recommend the tiramasu, but I do recommend the chocolate moose. Update: I went back and they got our meal spot on this time. The filet mignon was very very tasty in a salty butter. Maybe the best I ever ate. My wife loved her fish (Grouper special), and we both thought our order was better. The asparagus and potato au gratin were delicious. I saw lots of friends and coworkers while there. I got to hear good tunes on the porch while enjoying my 3 Cathead Vodka Lemonades and sun rays. I even heard Widespread Panic on the stereo, my favorite band. The strawberry shortcake was very yummy and I got the moose again. Elegant service, drinks, food, music and vibes. I raise my review from 4 to 5 stars. An epic experience, and a surprising change.
(5)Hina S.
Really nice place fresh organic food loved the dessert (chocolate silk) and had duck for the main course yummy. Best eatery in Mississippi so far.
(5)Laura W.
Just passing through and found this place on Yelp! Portions are huge! All ala' carte but big enough to share, au gratin potatoes would easily feed 4 people. Try the cauliflower, we did and loved it. Pork chop was huge and perfectly flavored. Our 9 year old ordered the wood fired pepperoni pizza and ate it all. Peach Cobbler with ice cream for dessert. Eat here , you will love it.
(5)Early E.
A great meal, never disappointed. Scallops are wonderful, so was the grilled grouper. Well stocked bar with the world's best damn gin & tonic
(5)Bobby S.
The duck is excellent!! Augratin potatoes were a great side... Tiramisu for dessert.. We recommend all of it.
(5)Maria J.
Great food. I got the steak kabob and it was delicious. Also recommend the truffle Mac and cheese. The only thing would be that we came after the lunch rush, with the place still pretty packed but the service was rather slow. We waited very long for our food and there was only one waiter
(4)David H.
Awesome find as we knew nothing about restaurants in Jackson. As a newish place, hotel folks were not yet familiar with te fare although they had heard of the Manship Grill. I personally love wood fired grill food and this one did not disappoint. The Redfish was as good as i have had anywhere. Whole fish was a neat concept too, supposedly chef hand picks them daily. Service was great, wine list was broad and deserts were a great ending for the four of us. Highly recommend this place.
(4)Ross R.
Duck leg confit, Brussel sprouts, and Jerusalem artichokes.. Great combo! Have got to try it!
(5)Luana C.
I came here for my belated birthday dinner with dear friends. This restaurant is the most comparable to a night out in LA and it made me forget I was so far away from home! =) It has a romantic (they really dim the lights in the evening) and lively atmosphere. My Redfish "Fisherman Style" was ON POINT! I loved that my second drink was even better (as in, STRONGER) than the first! I did not use my free dessert coupon at the time for yelp check-in because I heard it's not good. I don't know if that has changed since then, but save your money and go somewhere else for your dessert!
(5)Joe B.
A very nice dinner seated at a expansive bar. Extensive whiskey selection. I had the salmon entrée with the Brussels and both were very good. I was working in the area and actually went back to Manship to try out their lunch offerings. My meal was equally as good. Next time I'm in Jackson ill certainly be back.
(4)Teri N.
The food is AMAZING. I've been here three times and was always satisfied with the flavors of the food. I was disappointed my first time in the size of the dish. I had the redfish burger. It tasted great but was the size of a slider. Later found out that the popular burger is as well. The Jefferson burger is a regular burger size. It was good and juicy. Not amazing as far as the seasoning but good. The chicken shawarma is so flavorful. Just a bite of it without the chicken was delicious. Must be the hummus that's in it. The Parmesan fries are a must. They are thin, crispy and just the right amount of salt. Don't even need ketchup. The pancetta Mac and cheese is also a winner. It's creamy. Not too rich and very tasty. I'm looking forward to my leftovers! It's served as an entree but we got it as a side to share. The decor is beautiful. its chic. It's a bit upscale (aka pricey) but worth it.
(5)Brett C.
Food was fantastic. Comfortable atmosphere.
(5)Cody K.
This place completely underwhelmed me. Maybe it's just the shrimp and grits, hopefully so. My immediate suggestion would be to remove the item from the menu.
(1)Charley F.
Horrible service mediocre food. Save your money. I do not understand all the hype. I have had much better from more pedestrian places.
(1)Nicholas W.
My wife, dog and I were passing through Jackson on our way to Dallas from Atlanta and were looking for a place to stop for dinner. We saw some of the other Yelp reviews and decided to give Manship a try. What a great find! We had an incredibly succulent and savory Roasted Chicken in addition to the Broccolini, Avocado, Tomato Salad (off the chain sports fans-rarely have I ever had something so tasty). The meal was filling and reasonably priced. We had our small yellow lab with us who ate with us on the porch. The owner, Steve O'Neill, came by personally and shared some history about the area as well as how the restaurant got started. Very nice guy-he got our dog a fresh bowl of water and even gave us some ice for our road trip on to Dallas. Though we really weren't dressed for it the inside of the restaurant clearly has a cool bar scene and the place was packed when we got there. We would recommend a visit to anyone.
(5)Andy O.
Great food, great service, and fun atmosphere. We loved everything, but our favorites were the pork belly appetizer, duck confit, and tiramisu. The menu has great options if you want have a small plate with drinks or several courses. We look forward to going back soon.
(5)Lus B.
If you want fresh local food, expertly prepared in a beautiful setting, I would highly recommend the Manship. I've enjoyed both lunch and dinner there and it has been consistently good. I recently hosted out of town guests who are never shy about expressing their views on restaurant quality and they were very favorably impressed. In Jackson, there are a few really good restaurants but I am compelled to rank Manship at the top.
(5)Lauren M.
We had the most WONDERFUL experience here! We had a fantastic appetizer with smoked Gouda, aged cheddar, smoked prosuitto, salami, and duck ham. This was followed by the most amazing filet, cooked to absolute perfection! The braised winter greens were great but I loved the cauliflower even better! Loved it!! Loved it!!
(5)Pamela G.
Eagerly awaited the opening of this restaurant and went this past Thursday with a small work group. The food was outstanding!!! We ordered the hummus and the cheese plate for appetizers. Both were excellent. The cheeses were top of the line and the hummus was better than any I have had in Jackson, hands down. Entrees were: for me, the redfish which came with tabouleh. Fish seasoned and cooked perfectly. My friends ordered the margharita pizza, the cannelloni and the hangar steak. We also ordered the fire roasted Brussels sprouts (for real, the VERY first Brussels sprout I have tried that I liked) and the broccolini. Everything was yummy and the service was great. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very pleasant. The only thing keeping me from making this a 5 star review is something that will go away once they have their liquor license. No wine available, but they told us we could bring in our own bottle BUT there would be a $20 corking fee. A little excessive (greedy) considering we were not taking revenue away from them by bringing in our own bottle as they had no wine to offer us. Just struck us as trying to make a profit from their lack of being able to have a full bar. That was the only negative. Great food, great atmosphere and wait staff.
(4)Cassie Z.
Finally got a chance to try The Manship and it far exceeded my expectations! Its a much needed change for Jackson's food scene. Menu items such as the duck leg confit, hanger steak, and tiramisu were awesome! Great bar scene, food, atmosphere and service. Personal interactions with the executive chef and restaurant manager made it a great experience for our friends and family. Definitely planning a return visit soon!
(5)Thomas H.
Left disappointed on several accounts. Went for a relaxing Friday evening out with a friend. Had cocktails at the bar before being seated. Ordered more cocktails and cheese plate and then salads. The server told us how wonderful the fish special was and the aroma in the restaurant that smelled so good was that dish. We were not in a hurry so she told us to take our time. When she came back a few minutes later to take our order that dish she said they were all out. Needless to say that was disappointing especially because it was before 8pm even--but how it was handled was almost insulting. The manager eventually came by after the server got him (by the way the manager ignored us despite speaking to the table behind us and across from us earlier in the evening). He said the chef didn't tell him they were running low and he would have recommended the halibut instead. He then asked if they could offer us dessert before we even had our entrees. It was the strangest interaction we have ever had with management. After that essentially our relaxing evening was spoiled...the other food we had was just ok. I understand places run out of items--but just felt that in this case our server and management didn't handle the situation appropriately. I cannot say we plan to be back anytime in the near future and cannot recommend. I've tried to like the place the few times, and despite a cool vibe and good drinks at the bar I haven't found good food or service there.
