Mandolin Restaurant and Venue

Unbeatable food and views, and great value and service. Would highly recommend for breakfast and coffee, and we will be back again in no time.

The food was of high quality and the setting was very nice. Service was good too.

Amazing food, great service and wonderful atmosphere. Very attentive staff.

Amazing experience, really good atmosphere. owner is very nice and entire staff is really amazing and excellent service. Food is superb, can rate really high for sure. will definitely come back and can recommend this to anyone

Delicious food, but terrible service. Plus when they say the steak comes with sauce. Check the bill before paying as you'll be charged $4.50 for the sauce, yet we were told it comes with the steak. Our entire didn't come with bread yet other tables that ordered the same thing received bread.

Very nice place and nice food and good service people very nice

Really great food, great atmosphere, great view of the lake

Set menu which was not advertised on the website when I booked. Meat was well cooked bit no seasoning at all, no sauce, no salad or veggies, just some meat and mashed potatoes which also had no flavour. entree selection was ok bit the arancini balls were not to my liking. Will not return.

I think the website is deceptive, we went thinking it was an Italian restaurant but it's not. Day time is middle eastern breakfast food only. Which is fine, but not what we were expecting, this needs to be advertised. Staff were rude & service took forever.

Our order was taken after 5 tables seated after ours was, and, our order was taken by a very unhappy lady. My children’s food (crepes) took 1.5 hours to arrive, when the rest of the table had finished eating. We watched waiters eating and talking in mobiles while bringing food to tables. Food was lovely but not worth the wait. Not the Mother’s Day breakfast we expected.

Excellent food, amazing customer service. Loved the pizza, so fresh! Overall great experience!

Only one thing the meals need to be a more hotter they were only warm

Had a nice time with family at Mandolin Service is great .👍

Delicious food, Friendly staff, Highly recommend, outside sitting area had a beautiful view.

Everyone of us were pleased with our food very delicious

Service was unfortunately slow and took awhile to get someone to take the order. Some dishes were undercooked or lacking flavour. Had high expectations

Very good service, wifes steak was cooked perfectly, medium rare, tiramusu light and coffee rich. My chicken stronganoff was good but needed a bit more seasoning in sauce. I do not use salt I suppose this would have helped . But overall very pleased

Food was well below average. Would not go back again. Extremely disappointing

Always great to eat here and hang out with friends and family.
