Very cozy and quiet setting. Good for dates and conversation. I sat at the bar and was entertained by the bartenders recently on a Sunday and Monday evening.
Well made cocktails along with Ahi Tuna was wonderful. The NY strip was perfect. The New York cheesecake was delightful. A pleasant surprise for this out of town traveler. Good food and good people. Highly recommended.

Always a good meal

Editing this one 5 star review, sadly. Keeps missing the mark. Sides are completely bland and flavorless, from the mashed potatoes to the green beans. And they did away with the fruit chutney with the crab cakes which is the main reason why we frequented this place. Sad. Settling on 3 stars though in memory of what once was.

I ordered the bourbon honey salmon — sounds like something a woodland fairy would serve you at a cozy mountain lodge, right? WRONG. What arrived at my table smelled like it had been on a long journey… through time. And possibly a basement. I’m 90% sure it was last seen swimming in the Titanic.

The texture? Somewhere between rubber flip-flop and sadness. Flavor? Imagine licking a burnt whiskey barrel while someone sprays Eau de Fish Market directly into your nostrils.

I politely asked what sides they had, and somehow I ended up in an episode of Survivor: Side Dish Edition. No clarity, no choices, just a mysterious charge and a plate that looked like it had commitment issues.

Zero stars for the salmon. One star because the ceiling didn’t fall on me.

Great atmosphere here. Service was a tad slow most times. Had the burger which was good. Salmon was my go to dish which everyone vouched for but it wasn’t memorable. It was good, but not enough to reach the great status. Still recommend of course.

I have lived just around the corner from here for years and sadly waited months before I was moving to discover just how good this restaurant is. Good cocktails. Surprisingly good and reasonably priced wine list. Food is great; steak was cooked exactly as I requested it, sauces are great. Serving portions were generous. The waitress I had last time I went, Dana, was phenomenal; if everyone in hospitality was like Dana, I would be dining out more often! Highly recommend Antlers; even their takeout is divine!

Wonderful service, comfortable atmosphere, and excellent menu. Each member of our party enjoyed their meals. The Diablo Salmon was perfect as was the Delmonico Ribeye. Definitely worth the drive!

The food here is fantastic! It has a great atmosphere especially in the colder months when they have the fireplace lit. Everything I've had here had been fantastic from the steak to the duck, BBQ, cocktails and dessert. It's also a great spot for a unique brunch! It is on the more expensive side but definitely worth it.

You go to Antlers for the steaks. Cooked excellently. We pass through Ithaca about once a year and it is always packed because they have great service and great food. Staff are extremely nice and they usually have special discounts depending on the night. They will always run out of the special so get there before 6! It's well worth it and I like the rustic hunters lodge vibe. It fits the place.

My husband and I visited for the first time, tonight. We were very impressed by how friendly the staff was. They were personable and helpful. Our food was outstanding. We had the seafood arancini balls as an appetizer, which was a special. I had the delmonico and he had the BBQ special. We definitely will be back.

The food, service, and atmosphere were amazing. Kaelee was our server and she was excellent! There were four of us and we ordered crab cakes, lobster bisque, steak flights, salmon, and chicken marsala - all cooked perfectly and tasted delicious! We will definitely return. Would recommend making reservations.
