The food was really good! The staff were very nice. The portion sizes are in consistent though, with the desert being humongous. The veggie burger was really good. The salmon came with cranberry sauce. Overall a nice venue. Hope this helps!

The staff were very attentive and kept pace with the meal, very appropriate for the occasion. I ordered both the Apple Fest macaroni and a cheeseburger. The Apple Fest macaroni is definitely a must-try when you’re in Ithaca, and you can try it here if you’re not in town for Apple Fest itself. The burger itself was cooked to perfection, nice and tender! Very pleasant experience all around!

The food is okay but there is room for improvement. Charcuterie board can include more meat varieties (now only sausages) and have the cheeses cut.

Amazing experience, the waitstaff was quick and attentive. The food was outstanding. I will recommend the Buffalo cauliflower as an appetizer, it will not disappoint! Their wine selection is very nice with a good selection of local wines. The price is also decent although not an every week price for the average person. Overall amazing experience!

Hand’s down one of the best meals I’ve had out in a long time. Beautiful atmosphere and the wait staff was very attentive. 10 out of 10!

I can look past everything, I really only expect a restaurant to have decent food. The food was…. Not good. And considering the prices this is very disappointing. We started with the buffalo cauliflower and while it was decent, it was served on some fries that were probably the worst I’ve ever had. They were hard as a rock and bone dry like they had been sitting out for hours and reheated. Then my partner had the papardelle and the flavor was just off. She took one bite and had me try it and it was gross. This is coming from a woman who, when I burn dinner, “prefers it this way”. The sauce on it was dried up on top of just being bad. I had the roasted chicken and it was ALSO dried out and the rice underneath was wet and unpleasant. Even the vegetables (squash and zucchini) we’re undercooked and unseasoned. Really not happy and won’t be returning.

Average. Best review I can give this resois average. Not exciting, nothing special but definitely not bad. My husband’s pasta was cold which was easily rectified, burnt meatballs a little harder to fix.

Great overall experience service/setting. NOLA shrimp and meatballs were good appetizers and my short rib was perfectly cooked. Mom found the bbq burger sauce a bit heavy, but my sister loved it! Cocktails good as well!

Locally sourced ingredients. Great concept, but poorly executed. Meat Flatbread ($15) sounds great but it’s actually just a small pizza similar in taste to Papa John’s. In comparison the pizza at Cornell University North Star dining hall was much better. Creole Crusted Lamb Chops ($36) was overcooked and it certainly was not creole in the least bit. We had high hopes but decided to skip trying anything else due to disappoinment of the first few dishes. Dining hall ambiance. $80 for one entree, a small pizza and one mixed drink. The reason it’s not 1 stars is because the service was excellent.

The bread, which you have to order, was an oily crouton stick. It lacked flavor, and was cut so thick it was hard to bite through. My son and I each ordered the short rib, my wife ordered the pasta with meatballs, and my in-laws each ordered the catch of the week. The piece of short rib I received was 50% fat, not what you expect when you are paying $35 for a dish. My sons was maybe 2% fat. The pasta was over cooked and mushy, and the meatballs, while being well seasoned, were overcooked and dry. The catch of the week was trout, and done well, but the accompanying sides were all undercooked. For dessert, we had the panna cotta, which was set solid into almost a cheese like consistency. We have eaten here many times before, but after this disappointing meal, we will probably not return. The menu is limited, 5 larger plates, 3 pastas and a few salads. You would think each dish would be a home run. Unfortunately, none of them stood out and made this Mothers Day meal one to remember.
