Mountain Home has a new bistro - Manhattan Bistro formerly home of Tommy Wong's Manhattan Chinese Cafe. A big shout out to the new owners, Andrea and her family. They have transformed a little dingy hole in the wall to an updown chic little spot. It's located in the Mellen Hotel Building on Jackson Street. Great service, really good food, and we are so glad they opened. I hope you go in and enjoy the Bistro as much as we did before the annual Garden Tour.
Oh, and I did have a few flash backs back to my high school days when I several of us (Perrie and Warren to name a few) that went up the back stairs, and then up the fire escape ladder to the roof of this building (not sure but I think it was 1975ish). We laid on our bellies and hollowed who knows what to the bar patrons headed into the back door of the El Rancho bar. That was scary and fun at the same time - called teen age living!

The Manhattan Bistro is no longer in business.
I am so sad to hear the Manhattan Bistro has closed. Thank you for all you did to make that a beautiful space and a good place to eat.
The Bistro is no longer there, but the Manhattan Cafe
is. It is now a Ma and Pa breakfast and lunch and has great down to earth good food. You might have to wait for it to be cooked, but the wait is well worth it.
Thanks for the update on the Manhattan Cafe. I've heard great reviews! What are the hours and days they are open?
sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. The hours of the cafe are from 6 A.M. to 2 P.M. monday to saturday and 9 A.M. to 2 P.M. on sunday.
Didnt think you could even see the back door to the el Rancho from the roof of Tommy's. Both restaurants faced each other. What you could witness at least in high school for me 1985-88 was uncensored parties in the upstairs "lounge" at next doors' Captains Galley. I remember Tommy served 3 flavors of ice cream; Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and all 3 in 1 1/2 gallon box. Sometimes if you ordered chocolate you would get a little vanilla and a little strawberry too. We would get on north and south main business rooftops all the way to the old Sears building. Fun times. Glad to se it operating with 5 stars and kept the name, doubt it would have made 2 or 3 stars in the 80s.
