Mandana Inn - Skaneateles

The service was awful and extremely slow. The dinner was just okay; the lamb was cooked well, but I would recommend skipping the chocolate lava cake—it tasted like a store-bought cake with Hershey's syrup on top for the "lava." Overall, I would rate the food a 3, the service a 1, and the atmosphere a 3.

We had a fantastic dinner with our friends at the Mandana Inn tonight. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent! The evening was made even better by a delightful conversation with Emily, the owner. We will definitely be returning! Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

One of our kids never received his meal and had to wait an additional 30 minutes for his pasta and meatball. When we asked to speak with the manager, we were told they were very busy, and it seemed like our concerns were dismissed. The manager then presented us with a full bill. My husband, who has worked in the restaurant industry for 20 years, pointed out that this was unacceptable. The owner replied that she was automatically adding a 20% gratuity and if we had an issue with that, our business wasn't welcome. We were shocked by the rude treatment we received and will definitely not be returning. Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4
