Top Art cafes in Manalapan, United States

I am writing for my husband. We had lunch here today with another family couple. The restaurant is quite lovely inside with artwork on the walls and shooting star-like hanging ceiling lights. The music is from another more docile era and sets a nice mood. Brian, who seemed to be in charge, served us and was so friendly but unobtrusive. As for the food….2 of us had lasagna which they enjoyed; one had the meatball sub. I had the crab cake which came with a salad. The salad was exceptional. It made for a colorful and tasty presentation. Sadly, the crab cake could use some help. The breading had no flavor and whatever was mixed with the crab was also lacking taste. We will return and just order something else next time.

First time dining and I loved the place. We look for family type out of the way restaurants and this place rocks. The Lasagna I order was delicious and full of meat just like I love it. The artist in the house was someone who has hung her art at my tv studio, and the manager/waiters were friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended this place and will be heading back very soon.

We would give six stars if it were available. The portions were excellent and the food was delicious. The Beggars Purse was amazing, balanced with a creamy white sauce and truffle oil. Service was attentive and on point. It was a wonderful experience and we cannot wait to go back again!

A must try! We've been coming here regularly (every couple of months) for almost 3 years and have never been let down. The whole atmosphere is charming, very artsy, and we love sitting at the bar. Hayley makes amazing drinks and always with a smile. The food is all really great, but I especially love the pizzas and the desserts are the best in the area!

We’ve been here several times but tonight we couldn’t believe how far down hill this place has gone. The temperature inside was between 78’ & 80’. Very uncomfortable. The tables and chairs need to be replaced asap! the chairs are broken, we thought ours were going to fall apart The floors need a total redo. The food was fair. My wife’s angel hair pasta was mush!! Why would anyone come back?? BTW, there were about 12 people in the place at 7:30pm on a Saturday night. I guess we’re not the only ones that have been disappointed with this place. Try Atlantic Ave. Delray, you won’t be disappointed

Not only is this a really cool and beautiful artistic type restaurant with a fantastic ambience, but the food was really really good. Eight of us came for a birthday party and the food was delicious!! We had scallops, crabcakes, and lasagna. And for our birthday girl, they made a wonderful dessert platter with tiramisu, cannoli, dark chocolate cake, and cheesecake, which we devoured with joy. All in all it was a wonderful meal and a great occasion for our dear friend’s birthday.

I had the caprese, Caesar salad and twin lobster tail risotto.
All good choices. They do have live music ,however, I came in a little late and just missed it. I will definitely return to eat again and try to buy art from the owner.
She has some AMAZING work over the bar and in the hallways towards the kitchen.

Food is Amazing! Great atmosphere!My wife and I sat at the bar to eat as we always do when we go out. Hailey our bartender and server was Amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable and made great recommendations. Highly recommend Art Basil.

Five stars for sure chef Ricky cooked a phenomenal pizza for us but the real mvp was our server Roy within minutes of conversation with Roy we felt like family it's refreshing to meet real people these days. We Will definitely return for the next date night. As long as he is our server.

While the atmosphere is artsy and fun and outdoor seating nice on a cooler evening, I can't speak well on the food. Both my friend and I ordered the Sausage and Broccoli Rabe and had to send it back. The broccoli was so salty and the sausage rather flavorless. I ordered the Sicilian Style Wings instead and unfortunately they were lacking in flavor and had too little salt. The service was great, I just wish the food was better.

This Restaurant is across the street from the hotel we visited. I had steak, husband had the beggars purse and kids had pizza- everything was delicious! We ate inside because it was too hot out. The waiter, Fernando, was the best, very accommodating and the artwork inside was so cool. Very chill place- we will be back again, thanks for a great dinner!

I have been coming here for a couple years now. I live here full time and think the kitchen staff is great. On occasion I buy the kitchen a round just to show my appreciation for them.

When asked if the bartender could turn on the 1 of 3 tv's so that I could watch the Florida Panthers game she declined saying that there was an issue last Thursday because the TV was on....

Then I wanted to have a old fashion, and she proceeded to attempt to make an old fashion. I remember from times past that she hasn't a clue nor the resources to make this drink, so I asked for bourbon and gran marnier, to make it easy on her.

Tonight Melissa decided it was a good idea and a good decision on behalf of Art Basil to charge me an astounding 44.00 for 2 drinks. Which includes 13.00 for a shot of bourbon, 6.00 for a shot of gran marnier and a 3.00 upcharge for a "Manhattan" (which was a slice of orange and a cherry).

After ordering my first drink, I asked how much she was charging me and she blew it off and said "I could afford it". After receiving my check I let her know that I was not pleased with the price she charged me for the beverage, she couldn't care less.

So no tv at the bar for the customers, cant make an old fashion to save her life, why would anyone want to be here?????

Lost a customer for life today, if this is how you treat your locals the tourists should beware. There are many places to spend my time and money in around here. I discourage anyone from going here.

Everyone's meal was great no complaints, Waitress McKenzie very knowledgeable about the menu very accommodating and pleasant. My husband ordered Veal Franchise said it was one of the best he's eaten, I got the small plate sausage & Broccoli Rabe $10 & a 14inch The Works Pizza and added Ricotta it was to die for that was leftovers last. My adult kids and Grandson ordered Chix Gorgonzla, Chix Parm, and Rigatoni Bolgnese, and their Ching wings for an appt were delicious. Definitely a charming place to dine.

Inviting ambience. Reasonable prices. Daily specials were lovely! Mackenzie our server was pleasant. Seafood seemed like it might have been on the brink of spoiling, only con. Great portions and tasty. Not pictured (Meatballs and Caesar Salad)

*ordered on delivery dudes* I ordered a margarita pizza and a Sicilian with pepperoni and meatball. The pepperoni and meatball was really good, nice crunch on the crust and flavorful sauce. The margarita is not what I expected, so I did not like. I also was disappointed in the 7 dollar upcharge on the Sicilian style crust, which was not a bigger sized pizza. I would go back to eat in and order some other items.
