Manhattan's is a wonderful place and good food. the only reason i don't go there is because the decor is too "old lady" for me. sometimes i'll choose Mantra over Manhattan's or Bruno's simply because i like the modern feel of it all.

i do have intentions on going out to Manhattan's on one of their jazz nights. and if you haven't already, get on their mailing list for their updates.

so, my answer is.... Mantra.

Yikes, both are mediocre by western standards and darn expensive tourist traps.

Good value for the money? To tell the truth, it's really hard to get quality beef in Thailand

let alone Pattaya. Some import stuff is good but always costly.

I recommend El Paso steakhouse,South Pattaya road. Yummy !! I love it.
