Reviews for Mandana Inn in Skaneateles, NY
The Inn was full but we didn?t wait more than a few minutes(we had reservations). Our waitress,Laura, was amazing & could have... used roller skates as she hustled between the six tables she was covering! She took our beverage order & the wine arrived withina few minutes. We both ordered chicken Francaise & it was delicious. We each took half of our meal home with us as the portionswere so generous. We have been dining here for several times each summer for over 30 years & these owners have noticeablyimproved the Inn & it?s food. Looking forward to our next visit. Read more
I came here last month. The food is amazing and the owner is so nice. Immaculate customer service by this family owned... restaurant. Highly recommended Italian restaurant. 5 stars. Read more
Had dinner here a couple of weeks ago. Drinks came out in a reasonable time, then?nothing. An hour and a half later? a decent... meal but at that point who is even hungry anymore. Sweet waittress says: we are down a cook and a whole bunch of to go orderscame in. What? Thought maybe I might get something to eat if I went out to the parking lot and called an order in. Tried againtonight?. Big crew, owner there to greet us- thought ok another try. Well, no. 2 hours still no food. To be fair they did offerto give me my entree to go at 10 pm but really who wants scallops tomorrow? Went home hungry and cranky. Big bummer. They justcan?t do it. Just?no. Stay home and have popcorn. Never again. They just don?t know how to run a restaurant. Sad. Miss the oldMandana. Not many options around here, so the wasted opportunity is maddening. Read more
The food is good but not worth the wait. It?s been an hour and a half without our entrees and our waiter seems to have... disappeared? I finished my wine a long time ago and he hasn?t bothered to check in with us in about 45 minutes. When wequestioned the length of time he said ?well I fired your tickets 40 minutes ago.? Like that?s any better? Find somewhere else.It?s good but not worth the wait. Read more
Had a 7 pm reservation.Food arrived at 9:45. Over 2 1/2 hours! Will never come here again! The owner showed up and threatened... to call the police if we didn't't pay for our meals. WTH!! Never again!!! And our bill was over $1,000. Crazy!! Don't give thesepeople the time of day. Not like it used to be.???? Owners response is totally wrong! We were a party of 15, including a veryyoung child. Evidently another party had the same issues we did. And other reviews indicate they have issues there. Read more
Good food if you like waiting an hour and half for apetizers and 2.5 hours for your entree. The manager Emily has zero people... skills and has no business dealing with customers. When inquiring about the length of time it took for the food to arrive, themanager suggested we go to McDonalds if we want fast food. Bottomline, service was poor and management, specifically Emily, adisgrace to the food business and the owner of the resturant should be aware of the disgraceful manner in which she treatscustomers who just spent nearly $500 on dinner.

On a very busy Summer night with completely filled reservations, our hostess was absolutely attentive to our reservation and... with keeping it right on time. She was impressive in her handling of a VERY BUSY NIGHT, even performing more duties than just asthe hostess! Our server was also attentive and concerned with our experience and the wait time on the delivery of our meals. Wewere offered a very nice round of drinks due to his " perceived" long wait to get our meals...we were actually fine and didn'thave concern about it !! I would definitely recommend this place..I ordered one of the specials ( HALIBUT ) and it definitelydid not disappoint !!! Price was just right too. Hats off to the current owners of this lovely place !! Read more
The most delicious food! The clam chowder was better than Maine's, the mashed potatoes, salmon, linguine and clam sauce, all... spectacular and full of flavor! The atmosphere was wonderful and service great and kind! We will make this our new location fora nice evening out! Read more
