Food was good when we got it,we were one of the first tables there,our wife's ordered escargot and clams. They received there food in good time frame. My brother and I ordered a smash burger and chicken. Waited1 hr 20 minutes., that's after I went to bar and wondered where our food was. Received food 5 minutes later from different person,never received a wine ordered 30 minutes ago. Watched multiple tables served before us. Very disappointed, so that I only left 10% tip, which I never do. Then found out that they changed my bill to a 20% tip,that I didn't sign for. Should be illegal, let's pay for bad service,I will never go there again. That was the second bad experience in a row.

An hour and a half for appetizers? Every one else had finished theirs before I got mine. Total meal time three hours. Worst experience I’ve had in years

The bartender Tom makes great drinks - I very much enjoyed a cosmo and margarita. And the beer on draft was cold and crisp. I had a nice house side salad with fresh greens and a vinaigrette dressing, freshly baked focaccia bread with flavored butter, and a huge portion of eggplant parmesan. I enjoyed eating at the bar. The cozy place was filled with warm conversation very much facilitated by the owner / manager and staff.

Owner is very rude. Was served a cold steak twice in the few times I’ve been here. My family has always been kind, and “friends” with this family, absolutely unacceptable.
I was nice to the waitress and understanding, but there was no apologies, and barely checked up on us, we had to get up to get someone to assist us.
No tip for you, don’t blame us for your negligence. We have recommended this place to many people over the years. Enjoy ruining your business!

In the many, many visits my wife and I (and our large family) have made to the Mandana, we've never been disappointed. The food is always great, the atmosphere unsurpassable, at a reasonable price and good service. Whether it's dinner for two, or 25 for Mother's Day, do yourself and guests a favor and call the Mandana for reservations.

My martini was spot on the bartender even offered to give me blue cheese olives!! Our server was phenomenal! The food was authentic Italian which is hard to come by on this area. Dessert was divine. The owner Emily was so gracious and lovely to talk to. She even offered to give us a ride home if our Uber didn't show!! Will absolutley be coming back!

Terrible service, very slow, okay dinner, lamb was cooked correctly, skip the chocolate lava cake. Tasted like prepackaged cake with Hershey syrup on top for the lava.
Had a great meal with our friends tonight at the Mandana Inn. Great food, service, and atmosphere! Our night was topped off with a lovely conversation with Emily, the owner. We’ll definitely be back!

We’ve loved this restaurant in the past. However, we had a very unpleasant experience recently. We made a reservation, and when we arrived we found there was a big wedding party happening at the same time. No big deal, I expected slightly slow service. However, it was more than slow- it took 30 minutes to get drinks and over an hour for my small kids to get their simple entrees. Tables seated after us were served well before us (to be clear, we didn’t hem and haw over the menu; we ordered right away when our server finally came by). One of our kids didn’t get his meal and had to wait another 30 minutes for pasta and a meatball. We asked to speak to the manager who told us they were very busy, what did we want them to to about it. They then dropped a full check. My husband expressed that this was really wrong (he’s worked in restaurants for 20 years) and the owner responded that she was adding 20% gratuity, and if we had a problem with that our business wasn’t welcome. We were flabbergasted at being treated so rudely and obviously will not be returning.

This inn has been in existence since 1835 and sits just off the lake on the west side, 5 minutes outside of the village of Skaneateles. Consistently delicious food, and lovely service (we sat at the bar). The portions were large, food was very well prepared. The Chicken Parm was put into contention for "best ever" The wedge salad is half a wedge! be prepared for leftovers, which will make an awesome lunch. Italian/American in style. Good wine list.

First visit last week and we will be back. Went with our besties and we all loved it. Seating area was a little dark but that's ok. There was a party going on and things moved a little slow but that's ok because we had catching up to do. Started with fried green tomatoes and meatballs, both were delicious. I had the baked scrod which was also great. The stars of the evening were the desserts. Piled high with whipped cream and tasty. Very reasonably priced meal as well.
