"A neighborhood gem! Growing up in Clifton area, the mix of old and new makes me nostalgic. The Manhattan Project is the perfect addition to this area. Very inviting from the street. No place like home! There is street parking and parking lot for free. It's easily located off Frankfort Avenue right on the corner. Masks optional with Covid vaccine changes. Patrons were socially distanced apart. Staff was very engaging and friendly. We were seated immediately in the bar area. Kaitlyn, on of the bartenders, came over immediately to greet us and go over the menu. She was very friendly and informative. She gave some great menu suggestions! She checked on us all night and gave right amount of space. She was wonderful! The food....was very good. We ordered the full Manhattan Project salad minus the blue cheese. It comes with mixed greens, red pepper slivers, black olives, red onions, and thin cuts salami with this delicious honey champagne vinegarette. The salad was simple but soo delicious and the dressing took it up a notch. Loved the dressing. We got a vegetarian flat bread minus the blue cheese. Notice not a blue cheese fan. Lol. It had nice chunks of veggies and left the Parmesan cheese. There were banana pepper rings on the board with the flat bread. We added those to our salad. Then the crab cake appetizer. The crab cakes were mostly crab and well seasoned. For the drinks, we ordered peach Mule and old fashioned. Both of the drinks were very balanced and well made. Really great drinks. Thanks Kaitlyn. Loved all the great food and drink suggestions. Definitely would come back when visiting again and encourage others. Great neighborhood welcomed feeling and overall vibe!"

Food was good, service was nice and the atmosphere was good for a casual dinner with a sports sausage in the stern. Nice cocktail and beer selection. Special day of the week and brunch until 1 on Sunday. I recommend the PB

If you're considering going here, just do it. Their appetizers are fantastic, and we haven't had a main course we didn't equally enjoy. DO NOT overlook their cocktail menu! Some of the drinks may not appear to be amazing based off the ingredient list, but WOW do they work well in the end! One of my personal favorites!

lunch for 1 on Sunday afternoon. server was friendly and attentive. I upgraded the clifton burger and a side of Mac cheese. with several items on the menu centered on the Mac cheese I expected it to be exceptional. it was good, but not amazing. the burger was incredible! I would recommend it to everyone. I will be back in any case!

The Manhattan Project was an awesome way to start off our last day in Louisville. The interior space was large and airy, with a really cool pass-through letting tons of light in. Food was definitely good, with the fried cheese curds particular delicious. In terms of drinks, the **** mary was outstanding. Would definitely come back. View menu

My job needed a place to have our Christmas dinner and this place more than fit to the bill!! The closed terrace was simply perfect!! The service was great and the food was great! Our little hostess served all 16 of us efficiently and graciously. This review is a little behind : because our party was 2 December, but this will certainly be our way! The wings, tacos and loaded pommes seemed to be all the favorite. Thanks again Manhattan Project! We're coming back! View menu

Want eclectic food with craft cocktails? This is the place. Our server Nick took great care of us, and the food was amazing. They have a wide assortment of exciting American-fusion dishes with unique craft cocktails and a relaxed atmosphere in the heart of the Frankfort avenue restaurant district across from Varanese Restaurant. Highly recommended. The fish tacos, burgers, salmon, crab cakes, calamari, and cocktails were all well worth the price. Give The Manhattan Project a chance and say hi to Nick for us.

craig was very knowledgeable on the menu and made some delicious suggestions when we decided to make a decision. service was fast and eating came out quickly. the thun-fish tare was absolutely phenomenal. I was skeptical, but it was an amazing court. the burger was delicious and perfectly cooked and the beer cheese suppe was great. my only question was that I was too full to try the bourbon brotpudding. I'm sure it would be amazing. overall it was a great experience and eating was good worth every penny. we will definitely be back and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal and some cocktails.
