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.

Host was cool about the wait. Margaritas hit the spot. Mole was solid. Sat outside, good for people watching.

Sat outside for a late lunch, the view over the water was lovely. Had the grilled octopus, which paired surprisingly well with their house ros&eacute;. A bit pricey for the portion, but the drink made it work.

The scallops were a highlight for me. They were seared just right, not greasy at all. What I really appreciated were the fresh, seasonal accompaniments. A nice, elegant option for a lighter meal.

Booked ahead, got seated right away. The creamy onion and black garlic soup was a standout, really nice. The black bean burger was good too, solid sauce for the potatoes.

Been coming here for years. The owner always remembers my name and asks how my week&#39;s been. That kind of personal touch is what keeps me coming back. Feels like a real neighborhood spot.

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.

Family-run spot, good for a quick lunch. The Big Salad is fresh and filling. Counter service is efficient, easy to grab to-go. Prices are fair for the area.

The Hawaiian pizza is my go-to here! Perfectly crispy crust and the pineapple is always fresh. It&#39;s the kind of spot you can just grab a few friends and share a couple of pies. The vibe is super chill for hanging out.

Been coming here for years, and the patio at sunset is still my favorite spot. Those heaters make it perfect even when it gets a bit chilly. Just a great place to unwind.

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 dim lighting and intimate setting really set the mood for a quiet dinner. Felt like a cozy, tucked-away spot you&#39;d want to keep to yourself.

The pub burger is my go-to, never lets me down. 🍔 Grabbed one with friends last weekend, and the fries were extra crispy this time. Outdoor tables are perfect for a casual hang when the weather&#39;s nice.

Becca and Laura are great bartenders. Super attentive, and the drinks were on point. They even brought me fries when I needed them. Solid spot.

Been coming here for years, and the baked ziti is always my order. They&#39;re solid about fixing things if something&#39;s ever off.

The server was super nice even though it was packed. He kept checking on us and smiling, which was cool. Made the wait for food feel shorter.

Been coming here for years. The coffee&#39;s always hot and they never let your cup get empty. That&#39;s the kind of reliable spot I keep coming back to.

Cute little spot with the classic cow theme. It&#39;s definitely on the pricier side. They&#39;ve had non-dairy options listed for ages, but when I went, there was just one flavor and it wasn&#39;t for me. A bit of a letdown there.

Nice find after the museum. The staff was quick and my sandwich was fresh.

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.

The team here is always so nice. They helped us pick a dish and were super sweet to our pup, which made the whole visit really chill.

The combo platter was perfect for our group. Everything tasted fresh and the flavors were spot on.

Solid breakfast spot with a real local feel. The home fries are the best in town, you can tell they use real cut potatoes, not the frozen kind. My eggs were cooked just right today.

Ordered the chicken parm for a group event. The chicken was surprisingly tender and the tomato sauce tasted really fresh. It was easy to pick up and set out. Everyone enjoyed it.

Love that they have soy, oat, and almond milk! Got the matcha latte with oat milk, and the quality of the matcha really comes through. Perfect spot to catch up with a friend over a good drink.

Service was nice. They knew their stuff about the wine pairings, which was cool. Didn&rsquo;t feel like they were hovering over us the whole time.

Been coming here for years, and the pasta with meatballs is the reason. That red sauce is always just right&mdash;bright, fresh, never too heavy. The meatballs are super tender. It&#39;s the one dish I know I can count on.

French onion soup was the star. Deep, savory broth, perfectly melted cheese on top. Sat outside as the sun went down. Honestly, the best version I&#39;ve had in a long time.

Love the build-your-own pizza option. Got a garlic base with olives, ricotta, and pineapple&mdash;the flavors just worked.
