One of my favorite local places to have a drink is Manhattan Steak and Seafood.\u00a0 Located in a rather obscure part of the city of Orange, in Orange Co., CA, it is a great hidden gem well off the beaten path.\u00a0 The food is excellent, the staff is awesome, and the ambiance is comfortable and classy.<\/p>\n

But this is a Martini Blog.\u00a0 In short the Martinis are really quite good.\u00a0 But just not quite great.\u00a0 On the plus side the drinks are generous and nicely mixed.\u00a0 And always served with a smile.\u00a0 On the down side the drinks are not as chilled as I would like, probably because the stems are not pre-frozen.\u00a0 Or even chilled in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

So Manhattan gets a single Martini.\u00a0 \"Martini<\/a><\/p>\n
