TLDR; if you haven’t tried it, just choose this place. You won’t regret it, and you’re currently missing out. Came two days in a row. Cocktails were reasonably priced for the quality, presentation, and service (10-12$). Second day we came for dinner as we were impressed by the menu on day 1. Meal begins with an empty table. You are greeted by an incredibly friendly service member. That person will bring you ice water, a wine list (complete with a tour of the selection), complimentary bread rolls, and dinner menus. The bread rolls are served warm, seasoned with Italian seasoning, and are accompanied by sun-dried tomato butter. They are soft and you receive one per patron. For my dinner selection I was given options of soups and salads to begin my meal. Greek salad came before my main and was dressed with an authentic dressing of oils and seasoning. It was a more subtle Greek dressing than you would purchase from a grocery store, and that was great. I ordered the chicken ‘supreme’. It is a chicken thigh cooked to perfection with a creamy sun-dried tomato cream sauce. It was accompanied by Greek potatoes (my selection) and sautéed vegetables (standard accompaniment). Our waiter offered me a steak knife when he noticed I was using the provided butter knife, and I laughed that the chicken was so tender that it wouldn’t be necessary. The potatoes were incredible. They were soft, with a noticeable lemon flavour and light pepper. The vegetables were: green beans, carrots, yellow and green zucchini, Brussel sprouts, and peppers. They were cooked with a purposeful crisp to them, so I wasn’t a fan, but this is a preference and they were objectively prepared well. She ordered Moussaka. I didn’t eat much but it was received well. It was served in a cast iron dish with a Greek salad and a delicious garlic bread. Both Greek salads included non-pitted black olives and spring mix. For dessert we ordered the crème brûlée. It was a reasonable portion for two following a meal and arrived with 5 blueberries and a think sugar crisp on top. The food was great. The atmosphere was incredible. I could not believe that I was not only in Saskatoon, but that the view out of the patio windows were of a strip mall and parking lot. Looking away from the restaurants surroundings you would believe you were on a Greek coastline. We reflected on our experience and both agreed that this restaurant would not have been the experience it was without the service. It was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The bathrooms are clean and high end. The toilet paper is thick and paper towel is high quality. I don’t live in Saskatoon, but I visit regularly. For the price, and location, this will be my dinner spot. I do not see myself moving on from this establishment until I’ve tried everything they offer, and have gotten sick of whatever I choose as my regular order.

Not our first family visit to Mano’s on 8th street, and wont be the last, the calamari was really crispy and cooked perfectly and I absolutely would recommend it. The chicken lemon rice soup is a personal fave and is never a miss so I had to have a bowl. As an entree I had the salmon with a stuffed baked potato and veggies as a side. Everything was plated nicely. Unfortunately the veggies were too unseasoned for my liking and the baked potato was kind of dry I suppose, it seemed like it had been somehow dehydrated, but the salmon was good enough, it was cooked right, I added some lemon and salt to it because it was a tad bland. Not sure I would call that a $30 meal, but it wasn’t terrible. The bathrooms are very clean, my daughter even said it “smells nice” when we went in and they are wheelchair friendly, my toddler daughter could reach the sink easily without assistance. Our server Adam was very polite, attentive and well spoken and a overall a great server. Service and atmosphere are definitely something they pride themselves in.

We haven't been to Mano's in a very long time. We went there for lunch with family on February 27/2022. The server was great. This review has nothing to do with him. We had an "incident" with one of the soups, which kind of ruined lunch for everyone at the table. No manager, or staff of higher authority came to apologize to the table. The poor, equally horrified waiter had to handle it himself. We appreciated the discounts, and complimentary meal, but it would have been nice for it to have been addressed by a manager as well. I personally had the "Next Level Mac & Cheese" which was partially described as having "crab meat and a rich cheese sauce". however, there was a sincere lack of the crab meat (meaning there was actually none), and the meal itself was pretty bland. Also, 3 of the 4 toilets in the washroom had urine droplets on the seats. Probably won't be back. ever.

We had a delightful experience at Mano's Restaurant & Lounge today. As a family of four, including a baby and a young boy, we were warmly welcomed at table 30. The manager went out of his way to print coloring papers for our child, accommodating his request for two sets without hesitation. Our server was exceptionally friendly, even creating an off-menu milkshake for our son, which was a lovely touch. He remained consistently attentive throughout our meal, ensuring we had everything we needed. The food portions were massive and offered great value for the price. We usually dine at Taverna when in Saskatoon, but our visit to Mano's today proved to be a worthwhile change. We will definitely return. The crème brûlée, in particular, was outstanding. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommended!

Thank you to Mano's Restaurant and Lounge~!! If we could provide a 10-star review we would! We were fortunate enough to hold an amazing 80th birthday party in Mano's small meeting room (40 people). From the first time I called to inquire and chat with the manager Taso, to further follow up on plans (via email and phone) and the actual event- the service and communication were beyond top-notch! Our server (Adrian) was fully engaged with our guests and didn't miss a beat. His service was impeccable and quick! We had a big group and there was no lull time or a time we were left needing a beverage. He and his other colleagues even helped us decorate the room in record time! Thank you so much - as your attention to detail made the event one to remember!

All in all, a very nice place for a meal. Beautiful and fully decorated dining area indoor, and you could stay outside with great sunshine enjoy meals. Good serve and more formal waiters and waitresses helping us ordering food. Really comfortable for the place we were seat, so I could have great conversation with friend and enjoy my dishes. We have order the Beef Tenderloin, which is nice with flavoured sauce around. Vegetable has fully cooked in soft texture with enough salty taste. The chips/French fries are crispy and crunchy, with those gravy together, that is even better. If you want a business meal or a date, here will be good options. Food is not five starts high end, with this pretty good price, you will have a remarkable experience.
