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!!! 🥰
Real nice restaurant with pleasant, professional service. Great food, reasonably priced. A must visit when in the Ithaca area (this is our first time in town).
What a delightful evening we just enjoyed at The Boatyard Grill in Ithaca! From start to finish we received wonderful service, beginning with my phone call to ask about a reservation, to the person who greeted us, and the one who seated us, and our fabulous server Natalie whose recommendations were spot on! Our food was outstanding! The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. We enjoyed a chat with the owner to whom we wished to express our appreciation for the evening we had...read full review

The Boatyard Grill offers a welcoming atmosphere with great energy but not too loud. The food is amazing, with options like Surf and Turf and Wood Fired Chicken Pasta that are excellent. The restaurant features dishes like the flavorful lobster lollipops and hand-made whipped cream. Recent reviews highlight the fantastic ribeye and strip steak, both cooked perfectly with the distinct taste of the wood-fired grill. The mashed potatoes and green beans are also praised for their flavor and perfect cooking. Some dishes, like the shrimp fra diavlo, have surprising sweetness but are still enjoyable. The ribeye plate was particularly praised for being cooked to perfection with great slides, crispy yet soft potatoes, and perfectly seasoned vegetables, along with a whole head of roasted garlic. The location offers a beautiful view of the water, making the dining experience even more special. The staff, including attentive servers like Mark F., are courteous, professional, and welcoming, ensuring a great dining experience. The cozy seating options and fireplace add to the warm atmosphere. The restaurant is suitable for casual meals as well as special occasions, with the ability to host events like wedding after-parties and brunches, where the staff create a friendly and lively environment with outdoor dining and a mimosa bar. Overall, The Boatyard Grill remains a popular choice for delicious food in a fun, waterfront setting.
