Excellent cocktails and brunch menu was fantastic! The burger was so good and the mushroom sandwich was the perfect vegetarian option. Can’t wait to come back!

I highly recommend Simeon’s for a more refined upscale restaurant experience in downtown Ithaca. What I like most about Simeon’s is that the menu boosts with local ingredients—my grilled chicken with roasted root vegetables was tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The house-made focaccia is lovely. Fairly impressive wine list also adds an additional layer upscale.
It’s a five star all the way around for me.

We had a wonderful meal here. The server was attentive and very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place highly but also recommend checking out the menu online as it is limited, limited but excellent. Desserts are small and perfect!

Among the best dining experiences in Ithaca, Simeons is a classic fine dining experience that executes its dishes to perfection consistently. Their appetizer game is strong, with fresh and delicious choice. Their entrees also always blow me away, and if they have the ribeye, it is truly spectacular here. The prime rib is also amazing; and the sides for any entree I’ve ever had have lived up the entree quality. Even if you do not want any, make sure you ask to see the desserts! They have an awesome presentation and are some of the best single serve desserts I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The key lime pie one is my personal favorite and a must try if you are here. This place is expensive, but worth it, and if I were in Ithaca, i would come here and then walk off my meals in the commons, because it is also in a beautiful area.

What a nice place. Friendly staff to go along with their amazing food and drinks made it a great experience. We had their chicken parm and roasted salmon. They were both delicious and filling. We liked it so much we went back our second night in town. Highly recommend if your in Ithica!

My family and I dined here for dinner, no wait during the week. We had friendly service throughout and the food was great. I am thinking of trying to recreate their steak sauce at home. Lovely place, next time I think I'll have to try their oysters

I was a little disappointed in the food and service. The food is processed offsite and then final prep is done on site. So when asking for something to be omitted in the dish the answer was no. Very disappointed.
Update: Simeon's wrote and refuted my review and said that everything thing was made on-site. All I know is that I couldn't order what I wanted the way I wanted it and the wait staff said that was because the food was partly prepared off site. I hope this helps to clarify.
