Pizza is fine, Italian is fine. Do not get the Zucchini Gnocchi unless you are a diehard goat cheese fan. Service was better, quick, friendly, good service, no complaints. Ambiance is fine but can't go wrong sitting by the lake. Still a solid place but food is not as good as I remember. Best Dish - Burger Would Return - Potentially for burger

As always, it is a great environment with dining room, patio or sunroom options. Wine or beer only, and wine prices are quite reasonable. We ordered a wonderful bottle of rose, served chilled and crisp and with just the right amount of sweetness. I ordered port wine mushroom bisque, perfectly made and creamy. For an entree I had shrimp scampi, garlicky and lemony and fabulous with a plethora of Large shrimp. We had to order dessert to share since they had coconut custard pie. Out of this world.

The mixed salad was just a generic greens salad you'd find at a buffet. The crab cakes had bits of hard shell bits I've never experienced in a crab cakes. The scallops are for some reason left in a sauce in a ramekin, meaning they kept cooking, meaning these were the most overcooked, rubbery, hard to choke down scallops I've had in my life. We didn't finish our meal. What a rough experience across the board. There's much better food in town for similar price points / fine dining ambiance, this is the one bad experience of our whole trip to the lake

We knew it would be nothing fancy but we were not looking for that. We both ordered grilled buffalo chicken sandwich and shared fries. The grilled chicken was very good and the sauce was tasty and not too spicy. The fries were the shoestring type and plentiful. The cost for 2 was reasonably priced. We opted not to get ice cream because I wanted to go to bailiwick's on the way home. The seating outside was nice and we could see the little league baseball game going on next to us. A very nice way to spend an outdoor meal during the summer.

Upon cashing out the cashier told me the total and I asked is the prices online different instore, this price seems wrong? And she responded, "not always, you have multiple items. Cash or card" and just giggled after. DEFIANTLY made us feel uncomfortable and will no longer looking forward to coming here, the rice is also very overcooked or just been sitting all day I don't think rice should be crunchy. Thanks tho !

Mesa Grande is an Auburn staple. It's one of the few places where I can reliably get a good meal…read morerelatively quickly. You're best going in person, but there is online ordering and pickup available. Just make sure you order well in advance, since there's often a 30-45 min+ wait. (And that's a real ETA, they don't usually have it ready sooner, but at least the good is warm). It seems like business has been a little strained lately with price increases and menu options decreasing (RIP pollo tirado) but I'm happy to keep my money local so I oblige. You have the option to eat in if you choose (no table service). It seems like folks opt for eating there less compared to pre-pandemic times. I like eating on site in the summer since they have a covered outdoor area. It's definitely a great place to visit and certainly better than the chipotle that just came to town! I wish they had a rewards system like chipotle, but I still love them regardless!

From the moment you step inside, you are immersed in a trendy, upscale-casual atmosphere beautifully inspired by Frida Kahlo. We kicked things off with the Triple Dipper for the table--a giant basket of warm, fresh tortilla chips served with salsa roja, guacamole, and queso, with the guacamole and queso being absolute standouts. For my main, I ordered the Ensalada Verde and a slightly citrusy kale salad tossed with seasoned tortilla strips and extra pepitas. It was remarkably well-balanced, perfectly dressed, very tasty, and visually lovely, too! Thr service and atmosphere truly made the entire evening. Our server was friendly and attentive, effortlessly accommodating our request to split the bill three ways without missing a beat. And, even with the bustling atmosphere and the incredible amount of vibrant, intricate decor packed into the space, the restaurant was remarkably clean and well-maintained. It is always impressive to see a spot that has been open for a while keep up such pristine standards. We wrapped up our meal by sharing an order of churros--six hot, chewy sticks served with a spicy chocolate dipping sauce and whipped cream. The chocolate had a serious, wonderful kick to it, and the whipped cream was a lifesaver for balancing out the spice for those of us who love more heat than we can actually handle. Whether you're dropping in for one of their many margaritas or a scorpion bowl or enjoying a full, three-course meal, I highly recommend eating here while visiting Skaneateles!

Definitely order the Birria Pizza, but beware of its size. Service was great, Devin was very sweet and gave great recommendations. We did not feel rushed at all. Inside is fine, nothing really crazy.
