Mandana Inn - Skaneateles

I had dinner here a few weeks ago. Drinking came out in a reasonable time? Nothing. Half an hour later, a decent meal, but at that point that is still hungry. Sweet waitress says: We are a cook down below and a whole bunch of orders came in. What? I thought maybe I could eat something when I went to the parking lot and called an order. Trying again tonight? Big crew, owner there to welcome us... thought ok another attempt. No, no food. To be fair, they offered to give me my gut to go at 10:00, but really who wants Scallops tomorrow? Went home hungry and curvy. Big bummer. You can't do it. Stay home and have popcorn. Never again. You just don't know how to run a restaurant. Sad. Miss the old mandana. Not many possibilities here, so the wasted opportunity is crazy.

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 we questioned 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.

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 these people the time of day. Not like it used to be.? Owners response is totally wrong! We were a party of 15, including a very young child. Evidently another party had the same issues we did. And other reviews indicate they have issues there.

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, the manager suggested we go to McDonalds if we want fast food. Bottomline, service was poor and management, specifically Emily, a disgrace to the food business and the owner of the resturant should be aware of the disgraceful manner in which she treats customers 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 as the hostess! Our server was also attentive and concerned with our experience and the wait time on the delivery of our meals. We were offered a very nice round of drinks due to his perceived long wait to get our meals...we were actually fine and didn 't have concern about it !! I would definitely recommend this place..I ordered one of the specials HALIBUT and it definitely did not disappoint !!! Price was just right too. Hats off to the current owners of this lovely place !!
