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

Parking: Impossible to find a place to park, created our own

We had a family dinner at Mandana Inn - a group of four of us. The restaurant has plenty of parking and is easily accessible - including disability accessible - there is a ramp and a side door for entry if stairs need to be avoided. We were greeted by the hostess and seated promptly. The bar area always has guests and seems lovely. Our server was fantastic, attentive and efficient! Smiled the whole time - made eye contact. She was very nice (wish I got her name). The food - THE FOOD!!!! Sooo good. We had seasonal and wedge salads - presentation, flavor - it was all perfect. From start to finish - The Chicken Anthony - holy cow you must try it! We ordered a dinner special, sea bass with coconut rice and mango tropical salsa - it was amazingly fresh and cooked to perfection! The other diners with us loved their meals - steak (cooked perfectly). The dining room filled up quickly - this is a popular place for good reasons! We never felt rushed to vacate our table - servers wonderful - chef fabulous - staff great. What more can you say - if you haven't tried it yet, you should! Desserts here are A-MAZ-ING as well!!! We have gotten them to go in the past - key lime pie and on occasion you can catch them with a tiramisu. Yummy!!

After enjoying some wonderful wines at Anyela’s, we drove a few miles south for a delicious dinner at Mandana Inn. We were greeted with a smile, immediately seated, waited on by a pleasant and knowledgeable server, and enjoyed a delicious meal.

Ha! Mandana Inn never fails. My California friends were in town on a mini vacation with cousins. One of the cousins had made reservations at another restaurant in town the night before and had raved about it. After the cousins departed my friends came to dinner with us. We brought them to Mandana Inn. OMG what an unexpected surprise it was for them! Mandana Inn far surpassed the other one. Thank you, Mandana Inn. You are always #1 with extraordinary cuisine and friendly service!

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!
