The Updated Twenty Manning Grill


Brian Freedman checks in at the more comfortable, relaxed and approachable Twenty Manning Grill and finds it truly has transformed.

House-cured and -smoked Virginia trout was another comfort-y winner—deeply savory, still just the slightest bit moist, blessedly not oversalted and served with all the familiar fixings: wonderfully savory horseradish cream, onions, capers, greens and toasted baguette slices. It pulled off the old Proust/Ratatouille trick, too: My first bite transported me back to Sunday-morning brunches as a kid; all it needed was my mother to walk into the restaurant and start yelling at me to quit bullying my sister.
