Social Profile:

The Strand Café’s mission is to give everyone in the city considerate hospitality and a unique culinary experience. The Strand Café offers modern cuisine where the selected ingredients and cooking techniques combine together to create the dish as a whole. We work with small purveyors and visit the local farmer’s markets to create vegetable-driven plates and whimsical takes on familiar dishes. We also have an amazing stone pizza oven, which allows us to offer true Naopolean-style pizza cooked at 750 degrees. The Canopy Bar prides itself on precision mixed cocktails made with high quality spirits, with outstanding local beer options, and wines that celebrate the finger lakes region.

Beautiful and cozy space inside the Canopy Hotel, with friendly service and clear effort from the kitchen to deliver quality dishes. That said, the overall dining experience was mixed. Most of the food was just average—the flavors leaned too salty, and portion sizes were noticeably small. The coffee was inconsistent; one of the cappuccinos I had was unfortunately among the worst I’ve tasted. The pizza was fine, but nothing memorable. The serving time is quite long, most tables wait for 20-30mins to get their food.

On the positive side, the black bean burger and the pan-roasted shrimp stood out as well-executed and flavorful. There’s potential here, especially given the stylish setting, but it still feels like they’re working out some inconsistencies in both the kitchen and barista station.

Consistently Excellent – A Highlight of Our Annual Stay

We’ve been staying at the Hilton Canopy in Ithaca annually, and The Strand Café has become a beloved part of each visit. After long drives and early mornings, it’s the warm, inviting atmosphere and reliably delicious meals that make this café a true haven for our family.

Breakfasts are especially outstanding. The cappuccinos are top-tier—smooth, rich, and perfectly crafted (we’re quite particular about our coffee!). The Roasted Tomato Omelette is a standout, and we appreciate the thoughtful variety of both meat and vegetarian options on the menu.

On this trip, we were especially grateful for Blythe, whose warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care elevated the experience even more. Her bright smile and attentive service didn’t go unnoticed—thank you, Blythe!

Looking forward to many more meals here.

Really good vegetarian options. Excellent rigatoni. We enjoyed it. Even their cheapest wine is my best this week.

I used to get the most delicious gluten free pepperoni hot honey pizza from here, however recently crust and pepperoni changed. I picked it up and it was cold. Staff is nice, but definitely won’t be back again for gluten free food.

We were staying at the Canopy overnight and stopped for a drink at the bar before heading out for dinner. The bartender was friendly. After a drink we left but came back after being turned away for dinner at two nearby restaurants. We again sat at the bar. The food was fine – we shared the calamari and bruschetta. We also had a slice of the chocolate torte and that was good but was more like a brownie than what I was thinking it would be as a torte. Our bar neighbors had a pizza and salad – they both looked good.

This is the restaurant inside Canopy Hilton. The pizzas came out fast and were delicious. Cauliflower crust available for my GF son. You can see the pizza made there in the pizza oven. The burger did take a lot more time to come out thus the 4 stars. Ambience was nice, wait staff friendly. Place was clean and comfortable.

For a hotel restaurant, I was thoroughly impressed! We were able to try quite a few different items, and everything was amazing. I do say this is the best burger I have ever had, I liked it so much that I had it again on our last night there. Try it, you won’t be disappointed

Great little place. Friendly staff. Good food. We ordered salmon, black bean burger, Mac and cheese, and some appetizers between the 3 of us. All very good. Highly recommend. The service was a bit slow but it was midweek so maybe that is why. Nice cocktail menu and wine list.

Terrible service! The staff were unfriendly and rude. The food came late, and the Margherita pizza was the worst I’ve ever had. Our server disappeared before bringing the rest of our order, there were no forks, knives, or napkins on the table, and she even dropped the check while we were still eating. Completely unprofessional — I will never come back to this restaurant.
