The Bistro & Wine Bar at Mirbeau — Restaurant in Town of Skaneateles

We had an unforgettable dining experience on their charming deck, warmed by overhead heaters on a crisp fall evening -- was nothing short of spectacular.

We started with the grilled oysters, which were briny, tender, and bursting with flavor. For the entrées, we opted for the scallops and the Mirbeau burger. The scallops were seared to perfection, with a delicate golden crust and a tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior. They were accompanied by a light, flavorful sauce that complemented the dish without overpowering the natural sweetness of the scallops. The burger was juicy and packed with flavor.

To top it all off, Chef Natalie made a visit to our table, adding a personal touch that elevated the entire experience. We were beyond impressed by the meticulous attention to detail and the perfect execution of every element of our meal.

Dining on the heated deck made the ambiance even more delightful. We visited with another couple at a nearby table that visit for several days every October from Buffalo, NY and love it. This is a must-visit for anyone seeking top-notch dining. We can't...

Mirbeau is a wonderful location and the staff at the spa and the inn are wonderful. The restaurant is certainly lacking. Although the food and drink were delicious- especially the blood orange cocktail and steak frites. The staff at the restaurant does not embody the rest of the location. We arrived for our Sunday evening 6:30pm reservation at 6:28 and the hostess rudely told us she wasn’t searing 6:30 reservations yet. We saw our waitress one time. When the hostess came around to fill our waters, we asked if we could get another round of drinks. The same lady who was rude earlier snapped at us to tell our waitress. At this point it was enough. We told her we haven’t seen our waitress since we put our orders in 45 minutes ago. There were maybe 4 tables seated so it was not busy. She then reaffirmed tell your waitress. With such a magical location, the hostess and the restaurant ruined the ambiance. We’ll be back to the spa and inn - think we’ll pass on the...

I dined for lunch after enjoying the morning at the spa with a friend. A lovely festive atmosphere with a view of the courtyard. I had the French dip and my friend the Turkey Salad Sandwich. Both were large portions with fries which is appreciated with a price tag of $24 and $26. Both were excellent and I had leftovers for another meal. I had wine with my lunch and coffee for my fellow diner with lots of cream. I did not see any festive cocktails on the menu that was disappointing for an upscale dining experience. The wait was very long which wasn’t an issue as we were chatting and enjoying the ambiance. But our lunch was over two hours on a very slow weekday afternoon. We did not purchase the spa package that added $40 towards meal yet the check out was a long drawn out process , staff not knowing where to pay and eventually cashing out at the bar with all the confusion. Overall we enjoyed the experience but definitely could improve on...
