Wine Bars in Ithaca

“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😍🙌“

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

“Top notch! First time in Ithaca. I had a cocktail, starter and dinner and a cappuccino here. Totally a treat yo self moment. The place is decently priced but slightly pricy - but you get the quality of what you pay! The hanger steak and shoestring potatoes with the fresh vegetables is chef's kiss. The mixed salad starter will give me lunch for tomorrow and is also chef's kiss. The sparkling blue moon made me a prosecco lover. And the service was attentive and personal. Ithaca makes me want to leave Fort Lauderdale.

Update. I did have some severe GI upset after eating here and I don't know if it's something that I caught from elsewhere or if it was from the vegetables because I ate a lot of vegetables but I figured I would let people know. Unfortunately because of this I had to bring down 1 star cuz I don't know if that's from people handling my food or the fresh vegetables or the recent cystoisopora protozoa outbreak“
