“Silo Fried Chicken – Food Truck Battle Edition Crispy, flavor-packed bird that came with “Truck Gravy” so good I briefly considered using it as skincare. The strawberry lemonade was fizzy which isnt my thing—but that’s a me problem. Ate it at their mobile bar like a civilized human. The owner? Cool as hell. I’d follow this truck like it owes me money.“

“We stopped in while vacationing, and found the facility very beautiful, the wines very good, and the staff friendly and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend anyone in the area visit this winery!“

“I drove down from Cape Vincent to meet one of my best friends from college who was in the area for a family wedding. I was completely blown away by my meal. The waitress was incredible. I had the Chilean sea bass and it literally melted in my mouth. The salad with fresh fruit and a raspberry vinaigrette was outstanding. We ordered coffee and I was brought a little tray with fresh whipped cream, as well as other delightful garnishes. Finally… the mile high carrot cake!! Pure bliss. Thank you for a truly memorable experience. And I was so grateful that we weren’t rushed. We don’t get to see each other frequently and it was a blessing to just spend time together.“

“Great Red Curry dish over rice with chicken. It will be hard to opt for something different on my next visit. Although while gazing at dishes as servers delivered them to nearby tables it appears I will have to try everything eventually. Interesting cocktail list, spirits and spirit free.
Great atmosphere, wonderful service. Will return. No doubt!“

Lovely bartender, very nice selection of beers, pretty crowd. Really need to chill on the popcorn salt though!“

“We tried the Hand-Ripped Noodles (Biang Biang Noodles) with Braised Beef here, and the dish was absolutely delicious! The noodles were super fresh, and we asked for extra spicy — it was perfect 🔥. We also added a soy egg, which was a great choice. My husband and I both loved it so much. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic Xi’an street food!“

“Very nice vibe! Patrons are friendly, great drinks, and a super HOT 🔥 tall bar tender who resembles Rock Hudson!“

“I come here at least twice a week — if I’m craving coffee, this is the only spot I go to. In my opinion, they make the best coffee in Ithaca. ☕️❤️

The staff always remember regulars — super friendly, smiley, and genuinely caring. They’ll lend you a charger, cut down the syrup if your drink’s too sweet, and just go the extra mile in general.

The lighting is soft, the background music is chill and never annoying. It’s perfect whether you’re catching up with friends or getting some work or studying done. The restroom is clean — just like the whole café, honestly.“

The atmosphere is casual yet refined, and the staff is always friendly and attentive.

If you’re looking for a memorable meal by the lake, this spot is highly recommended.“

“A bright and cheery stop on a dreary winter day! Seven of the eight items we tried were off the charts… The other was somewhere between good and very good…

Charmingly located on Ithaca’s Euro-esque high street… Bright commercial lighting in a franchise that purports to value being neighborhood-based.“

“Always and consistently the best burgers and ice cream!“
