Exceptional in every way... atmosphere, service, and especially the food, including presentation. Rivals high end restaurants, even those in Europe. Food obviously chef prepared with the freshest of top quality ingredients. The only drawback...the "Commons" in downtown Ithaca where this is located (thankfully, on the best corner, if it can be said one exists) has deteriorated severely in every way. I applaud the remaining businesses that tenaciously hang on and certainly deserve support. Shame on the city for not stepping up...the area gets worse every time I go there. This should not be in a town where one of the most prestigious universities on the planet is located. We parked in the large ramp, about two/three blocks away, which is very reasonably priced, roomy, and has electric vehicle charging stations; however, the walk through the "Commons" was depressing except for a scant handful of delightful shops and this truly fantastic restaurant. I know downtowns have a hard time, but there are two excellent universities/colleges with not only students, but additionally, professors and other staff as potential patrons - there should be constant shuttle service/park and ride to a thriving "Commons"!Vegetarian options: I had the mushroom "burger" sandwich, which was exceptional. It's what I always order; however I noticed several non-meat pastas, salads, etc.

Simeons is simply the best! You can always count on a delicious meal and excellent service. This local business is the perfect place to bring out of town guests, meet for business or take the family. The staff is friendly, accomodating and always professional. It is really worth checking out!

I visited Simeon's on Saturday on a trip to Ithaca to visit my sister. She and her friends had absolutely nothing but amazing things to say about the food and the atmosphere and recommended coming back for brunch before we left town.The drinks lived up to the hype, and our bartender was so accomodating and attentive.We ultimately decided not to come back for brunch because the young hostess was so incredibly disrespectful. The five of us were standing closely around the bar area, and she rudely walked through our group instead of around us to retrieve menus on the other side of the bar, no doubt in an attempt to show she was cleaning up. There were still diners at multiple tables in the restaurant! We were in no way overstaying our welcome - we paid before 10 o'clock. Upon getting up from our seats to leave - at 10:03 - she quite literally cheered, throwing her arms up in the air, sarcastically wishing us well.I'm a 30-something who works in customer service and has worked in hospitality in the past and I was aghast. Trust me, I know how difficult it is to find reliable help, but she left a really lasting impression. Not the kind of experience I would think you'd want for your paying guests.

The best lobster mac n cheese I have ever had. The ahi tuna was also perfect quality. The seafood is clearly premium and fresh. Atmosphere is great, it's more fancy than your average place, but not snobby. Prices are lower than you'd expect, very fair.
