Inspired by the taste of modern Europe and the ambiance of the late 19th-century Victorian era, Chef Margot Blondet set out to create a sexy, sophisticated dining and cocktail experience.
Nestled in Centerville’s historic Uptown neighborhood, Manna offers its guests a journey through time and culture. The property maintains its original, historic architecture while housing Manna’s sleek, sensual cocktail bar and modern Victorian-era dining room both peppered with carvings, sculptures, chandeliers, and marble from Blondet’s travels across the globe!
Manna’s menu blends together rich European culinary traditions with that South American je ne sais quoi that is Blondet’s legacy. Bold, provocative cocktails and a chic wine program suggest that salvation is just around the corner.

- EBEsmeralda BabakhaniSep 30, 20254.0I went to the Sunday brunch buffet this past Sunday. It was lovely! The vibe and elegant décor was exactly to my liking. (I'm an LA girlie). The bar was beautiful. Some things on the buffet were better than others, but the fresh omlette & waffle station make it up. My husband loved the goat cheese sandwiches. I will definitely go back for dinner and drinks.
- CHConnor HobanSep 6, 20255.0Manna Uptown delivers an exceptional and well-rounded dining experience. Walking through the doors you are greeted with a friendly staff, gorgeous decor, and unmatched atmosphere. The contrast between the bar and dining area provides the entire spectrum of thoughtful upscale dining. Our Waiter Deb had mastered the cocktail menu and each of the six cocktails we have tried so far were world class. The Salmon and Chicken and Gnudi were extraordinary. We moved here 3 weeks ago and have already been twice - this will be a favorite staple for special nights spent here in Dayton
- PWPatrick WinchesterAug 30, 20251.0My food was cold and the server didn’t even care!
- WTWorld TravelerAug 29, 20254.08/23/25 My husband and I went to Manna with his dad and family. We started with drinks at the bar and the bartender was very accommodating and friendly. I had the sangria and it was absolutely delicious. For food we ordered the fried calamari, short rib ravioli, and charred Caesar salad. Everything was so good and beautifully plated. The ambiance inside is beautiful and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I will most definitely be coming back here again in the future.
- SSShell SGAug 15, 20255.0Manna is a gem in the Dayton area. From the moment you walk in, the place gives off an upscale vibe. The tables are neatly set, and the dishes arrive on unique plates that make the presentation feel special. The food lived up to the atmosphere. We started with a small plate, followed by the salmon and the short rib ravioli—both excellent—and two drinks suggested by our waitress. We finished with the dessert special: creamy pistachio ice cream that was the perfect ending to our meal. But as good as the food and decor were, the real reason for this review is the service. Janis, our waitress, stood out from the start. She knew the menu inside and out, gave thoughtful recommendations, and was polite and personable without being intrusive. She took the time to chat, but always found a natural way to bring the conversation back to the food and the restaurant. That’s the kind of skill you can’t fake—it comes from experience and care. Without Janis, I probably wouldn’t be writing this review. Good food can be found in many places. Memorable service is rare. Long after you forget the decor or the taste of a dish, you remember how you were treated. To anyone wondering if Manna is worth it—yes, it is. And if you can, ask for Janis. She’ll make sure your meal is remembered for all the right reasons. And to the owner of Manna: you hired well. Keep hiring people like Janis.
