“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!“

“This winery in downtown Ithica is in a beautiful building and has a small wine museum inside. The owner is so passionate and knowledgeable about the history of wine and winemaking. The tasting menu is small but wonderful with some off dry wines and dessert wines. I enjoyed the experience completely and did not leave empty handed.“

“Love this place and that I can walk here!“

“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.“

“From the cocktails to the coffee wonderful. Had the bread basket loved it Prime rib was great. And the srver Blake was beyond good , great service. Will be back again“

“My daughter and I love coming here and just sharing a delicious scoop of the best ice cream in town! Definitely worth it“

“Best latin American food in Ithaca! Their new bar has the best margaritas!“

“The Rook is always a must-visit whenever we’re in town! The menu is full of flavorful dishes, and their cocktails and beverages are equally impressive. The atmosphere is inviting and lively, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. The staff goes above and beyond - Manny in particular is friendly, attentive, and a joy to chat with. We can’t recommend The Rook enough for great food, drinks, and an unforgettable experience😍🙌“

“Always a great time! Excellent ice cream and treats!“

“We love the Milkstand! It's a locally owned and sourced restaurant with a wide variety of choices on the menu - all of which are available all day. The wait staff is always very good, our server today, Jennifer, was definitely a five-star server. Friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Just a great place to go!“

“This place is a must visit if you’re traveling or a local. The facility is gorgeous, the staff are knowledgeable and attentive, the food is accommodating of all diets, tasty and locally sourced, and the Ciders are exciting, diverse in style and delicious!“

“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!“

“Great brewery , delicious beers lots of room and seating“

“Stopped by during an impromptu 30-ish year college reunion with friends. Immediately recognized the historic old tables from the Chapter House (R.I.P.) and the sign from Micawber's (R.I.P.). Lovely bartender, very nice selection of beers, pretty crowd. Really need to chill on the popcorn salt though!“

“Something for everyone ! Always delicious. Desert stone cookies 😋“

“Went with a group of 4 Freshmen college students. All the entrees and the pizza were really good. Good portions. Friendly service, it was very busy, but the server did very well while tending to several big tables at the same time! Will definitely be back.“

“Had an excellent dinner with great service on a busy evening. Fantastic! Thank you, Sunny Days of Ithaca“

“The Corned Beef Hash special was amazing! please make it a regular menu item 👌“

“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!“

“A lovely cafe for any juice, smoothies or bowls. I tried the celery juice and matcha latte. Both were really good. It’s very hard to find good matcha latte around the area, so I’m glad to have discovered this place.
Inside the cafe it’s a little small and only limited seating.
I wish they would open before 9 AM to so I can get a juice on the way to work.“

“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 staff was great and the food was amazing. We did the barbecue, it was a ton of food. I can't wait to go back!“

“I had the lemon artichoke pasta . It was excellent along with the service !“

“Gentlemen at the front desk had amazing hospitality. Very polite and welcoming. Raphael and another guy I couldn't catch his name but they were great.“

“Love this place! The fried rice is pretty great (especially with hot sauce!) and the staff is so kind. There's one staff in particular who always urges me to try something new and I've yet to be disappointed! A little hidden because it is in Center Ithaca, but you'll want to keep coming back.“

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

“What a beautiful experience. We arrived for an early dinner after a long hike (Buttermilk Falls). Our dogs (2) received the best welcome!!! A lovely big bowl of fresh cold water and bacon appetizer for them!!! And to top it off, our food was excellent! Staff were lovely!! Our server, Gina, made our visit very warm and welcomed!!! Will definitely go back again!!! 🥰“

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

“Just had this for the first time the other day! It was delicious and the people were soooo nice! Food was done quickly and a good price. My favorite was definitely the chicken tikka masala done spicy! Yum! 👏👏👏“

“Great variety of unique food choices and love that you can not only get breakfast, lunch, and dinner here, but also have a beer/drink at night.“

“All 5 stars. I ordered the Mango Coconut cake and it’s absolutely amazing. I love Mango and not one for Coconut but it’s literally the PERFECT amount of Coconut. I also got the Blueberry Iced Matcha and I didn’t think the two would work well because I’m so used to JUST tasting Matcha but again it’s the perfect amount. I’d definately spend the money again! Give the workers a raise cause they work hard and it’s absolutely amazing!“
