In the early evening, 20 Manning is a sleek dinner spot, with an Asian-inspired menu and a long communal table that dominates the dining room. But as the night progresses, the bar becomes the focus as the restaurant is slowly transformed into Lounge 20. The white tablecloths are removed, and the upholstered cubes and low tables tucked into the corner become the most coveted place to kick back with a drink. In warm weather, the café tables—under heat lamps and equipped with blankets for chillier spring evenings—on the wide sidewalk are popular.

Review
I went here for the first time for restaurant week. I am a foodie, and big into BYOs in the city and love to cook. I have had not-thata-great experiences in the past during restaurant week, and I was thoroughly impressed. The service was very fast and thorough, and the food divine. I can't say enough. I will definately go back. This may be one of my new faves, and honestly before tonight haven't heard much about it. And things should be said. Very underrated in my opinion....
