“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.“
“I'm so glad I walked in during my impromptu stay in Ithaca for a night.Things to note:-Attentive, kind, and knowledgable staff-Cozy, warm atmosphere-Some of the tastiest combinations of flavors I've had in quite a while...I must suggest the chicken satay w/ peanut sauce, but add some sticky rice to absorb alllll of that peanut sauce so that none of it goes to waste. Incredible flavors....and then the pickled red cabbage on the side brings it all together. I can't wait to go back when I'm in Ithaca again.Top notch stuff here. :)“
“I originally ordered an espresso martini and a veggie flatbread. But, I loved the atmosphere, food, and service so much I added an Americano and stayed longer. Jennifer and Caleb make a guest feel like family! They are amazing, and so is the Greenhouse Cafe.Vegetarian options: They accommodate all diets.“
“Did a search of great places to eat after a campus tour of Cornell for my son and found this place. My four kids and I loved the food but we were left satiated w the super friendly service. Our server Max was so prompt w our food and his suggestions were spot on. He also had lots of useful knowledge about the area and even suggested some interesting things to check out on campus. Honestly best service I’ve had since being in NY. Would highly recommend this place…hope you get Max as your server!!!“
