Manzanita - Cornville

Clam chowder is the best n in the verde valley. all our main courses (5 of us) were exceptionally delicious. best preserved secret in the verde valley. reserve at least one day before.

Wonderful restaurant, awesome staff. The schnitzel was delicious! A hidden gem for sure!

The best filet mignon and prime rib in the Verde Valley. All the food is fantastic with a great selection and superb service from the staff. We started with crab cakes and Irish loaded potato skins. Then we had the filet mignon and lamb loin, each with roasted veggies. Finished it off with a monster sized carrot cake with Carmel sauce.

Nice staff, good atmosphere, and great food. The soup was clam chowder and it was great because flavors were on point, lots of clams, and very little potato (I despise clam chowder that 's just a chunky potato soup). The pork shank shown in the pics was as good or better than it looks. All the flavors were great, pork was super soft, and the sauce thats underneath is just incredible. We had brought our 2 year old as well because well we had too, and she was strangely well behaved thanks to the phenomenal food(my wife got a beef dish she really liked, but I don 't remember what it was called) . We all enjoyed our meals and will be coming back.

So for a small old school restaurant in a small town, this place isn't bad at all. I mean, you can't expect it to compete on equal footing with the restaurants in NYC or Charleston, but surely you don't find your way to this area for that purpose. If you're like me, being around this area for tourism purposes, then this restaurant will certainly suffice. I actually enjoyed their rabbit special. And the pumpkin soup was nice, it was slightly on the sweeter side, which I actually liked. Servers were great. That have indoor dining and also a small outdoor patio. Side note, you should ask them why a Latin American-sounding restaurant is serving German cuisine (among other things). Interesting short story.
