The smoked tofu was really good, and I liked that they had a few vegan options on the menu. The place itself is cozy, with warm lighting and comfortable booths. It&#39;s nice to find a spot that actually thinks about the space.

That duck fat fried chicken is a winner. The crust was super crispy without being greasy at all, and the meat inside stayed really juicy. The spicy chili sauce on the side was a good match for it.

Nice spot tucked away in the hotel. Quiet enough to actually hear each other talk. Had the grilled salmon, it was cooked just right. A bit on the pricey side for what you get, but the vibe was solid.

Been coming here for years. The wagyu meatball appetizer is always solid, good for two people. Cocktails are fresh, not too sweet. Prices have gone up a bit, but it&#39;s still a reliable spot.

Booked ahead for a Friday and glad we did. The staff kept our wine glasses full all night, which was a nice touch.

Great spot for a party! The bartender MJ really knows his stuff, and the pulled pork paired nicely with a bold red.

The tonkotsu ramen was a pleasant surprise. Broth had a nice depth, not too heavy. Noodles were cooked just right. Bento was decent, but that ramen is what I&rsquo;d go back for.

Service was very professional. The crab soup was excellent, but the main course arrived a bit later than expected. Staff handled it well. Good spot for a business dinner.

The Sriracha buttermilk fried chicken and waffles are a solid choice. The dark meat was juicy and had a nice kick. Waffles were crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. A bit pricey for the portion, but I&#39;d order it again.

The bar selection is solid, but the drinks are a bit pricey for the portion size.

Been coming here for years. The portions are still huge, and honestly, the price is right for what you get. It&#39;s my go-to when I just want a solid, filling meal without thinking about it. Never lets me down on that front.

The vibe here is just right&mdash;not too fancy, not too casual. The servers were super chill and actually seemed to be having a good time themselves. Made for a really relaxed dinner.

I asked if they could skip the plastic wrap on my takeout order, and they were totally cool about it. Just a small thing, but it&#39;s nice when a place actually listens.

I&#39;ve been coming here for years. The food is always solid, no surprises. It&#39;s a nice, relaxed spot on a weekday afternoon. The booths are comfortable, which is a big plus for me. Service is friendly and they don&#39;t rush you.

Got seated right away on a Sunday, which was nice. The decor is full of interesting memorabilia. The three-course deal was solid&mdash;the deviled eggs and ribs were great. My only note is that the wine list felt a bit limited for the style of food.

Great selection of vegetarian dishes. The staff really knew their wine pairings, which made the meal. Parking was a breeze.

Got seated right away with our big group of 9, which was nice. The food did take a little while to come out, but that&#39;s understandable. Everything was really good, so I&#39;d stop by again.

The bagel was solid, but the real win was the smoothies &ndash; so fresh! Perfect for grabbing something quick with friends before we headed out. The service was fast, which was nice when we were all a bit hangry.

The lava cake was so warm and gooey inside, and the cold ice cream with it was just right. The whole dessert was a nice, cozy way to end the meal.

The vibe here is so cozy, perfect for a chill dinner. I was really into their truffle pasta &ndash; the sauce was creamy but not heavy, and you could actually taste the truffle. Portion was just right for me.

The staff here are genuinely nice. Our server and the chef both came by to chat for a bit, which was a really nice touch. It made the whole dinner feel more welcoming and personal.

Been coming here for years, the food is always solid. Big portions, rich flavors. My go-to is the house red with the braised short rib &ndash; just works. A bit noisy on weekends, but that&#39;s Ithaca for you.

Nice spot for a quiet Sunday lunch. The view of the lake from the tables is solid. Food was decent, a bit on the simple side for the price. Service was efficient.

The staff here are so nice. They were quick to get our order and took the time to explain the menu. It felt like they actually wanted us to have a good time, which made the whole lunch really pleasant and easy.
