New American Restaurants in Ithaca, NY

“Fantastic Restaurant!! A must see and delicious healthy cuisine!!!“

“The NYS Orchard Burger is beyond amazing! My go to when I’m in town!“

“The restaurant was quiet (the university students haven't returned) the presentation was appealing and the food tasted good. A nice place. We sat in very comfortable chairs. Had a nice meal and were helped by an attentive waiter to get out the door on time for our film.“

“The Statler Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The staff at the check-in desk were very nice and helped us with the check-in and check-out process. They also helped us pick up our wedding decor the day after our event. The Ballroom is beautifully decorated and the rooms are clean and spacious! Chef Eric and his team create food that is delicious, and we received so many compliments from our wedding guests about the food! We highly recommend the Statler Hotel if you are planning an event or staying in the Ithaca area.“

“A stellar experience this evening. Full review on my page. Ithaca food dude“

“service and food is amazing“

“The service and atmosphere was amazing, they had historical decorations . On the back of the menu there was information about the area's history. The food was amazing, I got a rice bowl and crepes, the crepes were mildly overcooked but it didn't bother me. It came with unsweet homemade whipped cream and fresh berries. It wasn't too sweet. The rice bowl was an Asian take on a breakfast rice bowl and the flavors went very well together. I also got a cold brew coffee and it was brewed very well, it came black and there was a section with milk and multiple kinds of sweeteners. The employees were very kind and quick. The seating wasn't the best as they only had tables of 2 and one table of 4. There was outdoor seating but it was on top of parking so there was only 3 parking spots.“

“My daughter and I stopped in here on a Friday night, the waiter was fast and nice. We had spaghetti and meatballs and chicken parm dinners, the salad bar was fresh and the food was delicious! We will be back again for prime rib night! The decor is very nostalgic I thought it was great, my teen daughter gave the decor a giggle!“

“The fillet was outstanding but then we left we forgot our leftovers because our waiter put them on another person’s table! So two huge amazing fillets I’m dreaming about right now. Once we realized what happened we called over and over with no one answering the call! Disappointed ☹️ because the steak was so good!“

“Excellent place to eat food. They have a huge variety of foods. I actually like them better than the dining halls because the salad bar has more options and is more organized. They also pay by the lb for a lot of stuff, so you don't have to feel compelled to stuff yourself to get your money's worth. On the go snacks are available too.“

“Excellent food, great service and the price was reasonable. Will be back on our next US trip.“

“This was our first restaurant during a 4 night visit to Ithaca and area. I say that because we wanted to return later but unfortunately it was closed for two nights for a private event. My wife is celiac and she ordered the fish and chips with sides of mac and cheese and fries. She found the order plentiful and excellent. The fish was lightly breaded, properly cooked, and VERY tasty. The fries were excellent and the mac and cheese also tasty. It was a real treat for a celiac to be able to order delicious gluten-free fish and chips. I ordered the blackened fish and grits and it too was delicious and plentiful. Unfortunately, I gave this restaurant 4* because of the very long wait for our meals to be delivered and then for the bill to arrive later. And this despite the fact that the place was less than half full. However, the three staff were all moving very quickly and our server was quite helpful when we placed our order. So I suspect that maybe the restaurant was short-staffed that day or unable to hire sufficient staff. In any case, even with the wait we were willing to return if we could.“
