Editorial Review for Mancini's Char House – by Sarah Sawyer
In Short
Mancini's is the restaurant that time forgot. The elegant, art deco room features high-backed, maroon leather booths and winking brass accents. Booths in the bar are more intimate and are often arranged to accommodate groups celebrating special events. Thick steaks and broiled lobster tails are the stars of the menu. Salads are of the iceberg variety, doused in creamy dressing. Your slab of meat comes garnished with a baked potato, butter and sour cream.

the atmosphere is romantic and old school feeling. the fillet mignon is AMAZING as well as the lobster tail! we went there with a larger group and the service was still amazing even though our waitress till had other tables. i will def. go here again. after we went to the bar and watched some hilarious and amusing karaoke. the bar tenders were very nice and new their drinks!
Pros: food, service, ambiance, parking, drinks
Cons: pretty busy around dinner time

The first time that I ate at Mancini's Char House was with my boyfriend for my 17th Birthday. Needless to say, it was the best steak that I had at a restuarant. Now, whenever we visit Minnesota we always make sure that we include a trip to Mancini's Char House. Good thing that our families love the place as well, since then they don't mind coming with us for a fun night out. It is always nice to see the owners walking around making sure that everyone is happy and that their meal was how it was ordered. If not, they always make sure to see to it that you get a new steak cooked as ordered. Most people wait until they have finished their meal to complain - however it is best to say something as soon as their is a problem. The steaks have always been excellent. The service has always been excellent. Many of the same "locals" still frequent the restuarant and several of the customers have been coming to Mancini's much longer than I have. Now our children even look forward to our night at Mancini's for great food when we are visiting family in Minnesota and creating new memories. I sure wish that we had a restaurant in Pittsburgh like Mancini's. We only have the basic chains and they are always the same no matter which location you go to. Looking forward to our next visit to Minnesota and Mancini's Char House.
Pros: Best Steak House
Cons: None
