“This winery in downtown Ithica is in a beautiful building and has a small wine museum inside. The owner is so passionate and knowledgeable about the history of wine and winemaking. The tasting menu is small but wonderful with some off dry wines and dessert wines. I enjoyed the experience completely and did not leave empty handed.“

“Been coming here for years! Highly recommended!“

“We got seated quickly. There was plenty of seating available. Plenty of parking in the lot, which was handicap accessible as was the building. We did not utilize the restrooms. They have tables, booths and bar seating.

Our server was prompt, friendly and followed up on meals and drinks.

The food came out at a perfect temperature and tasted good. We had no complaints. I would return again to this location.“

“The Rook is always a must-visit whenever we’re in town! The menu is full of flavorful dishes, and their cocktails and beverages are equally impressive. The atmosphere is inviting and lively, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. The staff goes above and beyond - Manny in particular is friendly, attentive, and a joy to chat with. We can’t recommend The Rook enough for great food, drinks, and an unforgettable experience😍🙌“

“great pizza, my sister n I loved it“

“My boyfriend and I went here together for the very first time and had an amazing experience. The food was fresh, the service was quick and our waitress was very kind. The only drawback to our experience was the manchild in the restaurant when we arrived. He was sitting at a table with 2 others dining in as we were, and decided that screaming at the waitress, the chef, and 2 other employees was an appropriate course of action after there was a misunderstanding when he and my boyfriend ordered something similar and the manchild was accidentally brought the wrong dish. With an air of not so subtle racism, he accused them of doing it on purpose, and demanded all of their meals (his as well as his other two very unfortunate dining companions) be completely comped, to which the other unfortunate people dining with the manchild, all completely horrified of his behavior, paid their tab and wanted to leave quickly. The employees at the establishment handled the situation SO professionally and immediately did everything to remedy the situation, which made our experience there even better. We ordered food to go, and will definitely be recommending this location to others and returning here our next time in Ithaca. Hopefully manchild will stay at home and cook his own food next time- and again- kudos to the lovely staff at Saigon!“

“Great Red Curry dish over rice with chicken. It will be hard to opt for something different on my next visit. Although while gazing at dishes as servers delivered them to nearby tables it appears I will have to try everything eventually. Interesting cocktail list, spirits and spirit free.
Great atmosphere, wonderful service. Will return. No doubt!“

“Went with a group of 4 Freshmen college students. All the entrees and the pizza were really good. Good portions. Friendly service, it was very busy, but the server did very well while tending to several big tables at the same time! Will definitely be back.“

“Las pizzas más ricas que he probado!“

“Had an excellent dinner with great service on a busy evening. Fantastic! Thank you, Sunny Days of Ithaca“

“Fabulous food, huge portions, reasonably priced, and terrific service!“

“We tried the Hand-Ripped Noodles (Biang Biang Noodles) with Braised Beef here, and the dish was absolutely delicious! The noodles were super fresh, and we asked for extra spicy — it was perfect 🔥. We also added a soy egg, which was a great choice. My husband and I both loved it so much. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic Xi’an street food!“

“Absolutely Outstanding! Will definitely come again when in the area.“

“I had the lemon artichoke pasta . It was excellent along with the service !“

“Such a cute place. Drinks were fantastic. I got a smoked maple latte and it was amazing. We also got an orange vanilla matcha and couldn’t believe how good it was. We were overall very happy with the drinks and service. Would definitely come back and recommend to a friend!“

“A surprisingly sweet café tucked inside the Cornell campus store. The coconut and pistachio macaroons were delightful — chewy, sweet, and full of flavor. Chocolate croissant wasn’t the fluffiest but still tasty, and the shortbread cookies were simple and satisfying. It’s a lovely, cozy corner to snack and study, surrounded by tributes to Cornell’s literary icons (Carl Sagan and Toni Morrison watching over you!). Plus, the prices are student-budget-friendly.“

“Excellent place to eat food. They have a huge variety of foods. I actually like them better than the dining halls because the salad bar has more options and is more organized. They also pay by the lb for a lot of stuff, so you don't have to feel compelled to stuff yourself to get your money's worth. On the go snacks are available too.“

“Wonderful Food- Just Ask That They Be More Realistic About Prep Time.Their sushi is prepared well and the best deal in town. But you may want to double the time they give you for pick up orders. It's possible that they don't want to tell you the realistic time because it will sound too long. We ordered the Sushi for Two (which is easily enough for four-- and we have big appetites!) It was beautifully prepared-- but they told me 25 minutes and it was closer to an hour. Double the time, and then you will be very happy with this place!“

“Graduated from Cornell in 2009 and I still think about my go to BLTease with Ginger Miso dressing 😂 So glad to see Temple of Zeus is still going strong and has a social media presence!“

“Just had this for the first time the other day! It was delicious and the people were soooo nice! Food was done quickly and a good price. My favorite was definitely the chicken tikka masala done spicy! Yum! 👏👏👏“

“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!!! 🥰“

“Wonderful, friendly staff and great food. Excellent prices and location - close to Ithaca Commons.“

“Went here for my daughters 12th birthday with some extended family so there was 7 of us and the hibachi experience was just amazingly fun here at Sumo! I highly recommend! Thank you staff and cooks!“

“Great Ethiopian food made as per African cuisine snd served by friendly staff“

“Pretty authentic Chinese food, especially of the Szechuan cuisine. One cool thing about Spicy Asian is that they can accommodate larger groups than other Chinese spots in Ithaca. We came here with around 20 people after church, and they had no problem serving us all! 🍽️“

“My wife and I have been to nearly all of the restarants in this town and sense the covid nonsense started the quality has taken a dive, the prices have only increased, and the service leaves us wondering . Not so at Uncle Joes. The food here is consistantly excelent, the prices reasonable, and the service on point. You will spend a lot more for a lot less on the other side of town.“

“The NYS Orchard Burger is beyond amazing! My go to when I’m in town!“

“The sandwiches are actually quite good. I like that it is open for a long time so if I miss the usual lunch time and can still grab something to eat. Also there is rarely much of a queue so it is perfect for something fast. The Big Red Barn also has sandwiches but it takes them longer to make them, in my experience.“

“THIS IS THE BEST KOREAN RESTAURANT IN ITHACA HANDS DOWN. I love this place so much. The women who works here is also so sweet. The menu is so great and diverse. The food is well spiced and actually spicy!! Please come if you like real Korean or Chinese food. It’s a comfort spot for sure! Jayook Kimchi is my fav dish here.“

“Cute, reliable korean spot in Collegetown. Came in craving the spicy tuna kimbap (great value and just delicious), but ended up with a tofu soup. Warm & comforting. For some reason the rice wasn’t my favorite this time but that might be a personal thing.

Overall great cozy vibes, owner seems sweet too.“
