Rank 5. Manuela
Southern
Eating inside an art gallery sounds like a gimmick until you actually try the food here. Manuela is a proper sit-down restaurant tucked inside the Hauser & Wirth complex in the Arts District, drawing the kind of crowd that owns a lot of linen and definitely has opinions about natural wine. The kitchen leans Southern but keeps things creative and local, and the cocktails, built with house-made bitters and tonics, are quietly excellent.
