This past weekend, our family of 15 went to Cornell's. We were seated promptly for our reseveration and Mike Fazio our server did an excellent job. Our drinks were always topped off, orders accurately delivered and just good old fashioned family style hospitality. I have been here many times before, and it's always consistent, quality and service!

I was very disappointed in the veal parmigiana, as it was tough and to chewy... waitress didn't even inquire how our meal was knowing we hardly ate it. The dessert's were good and service was not friendly but not rude.

The food and service was great. Pricey. Would not bring children. It's fine dinning. Atmosphere is old. Needs a update. Has been the same for years.

Cornell’s was always a favorite but tonight not at all. We started with Utica greens and shrimp oreganato for apps. The Utica greens were decent. Shrimp was totally under-seasoned and while nice sized had no flavor. The dinners: two chicken francaise and one cod piccata. All 3 came with a thick tasteless cream sauce and the chicken was white not seared and had no flavor. The sauce for the chicken was very heavy and lacked flavor, no lemon, mushrooms or capers. Terrible presentation. Just a sea of beige. The cod piccata was decent and did have capers. I just picked around the beige cream sauce. For these 3 dishes the expectation was a wine sauce with lemon and butter. Have never seen a heavy cream sauce. Another companion had eggplant parm. Which looked good. Not sure what was going on but we won’t be back.

First I want to start by saying Cornell’s use to be one of my favorites and we’ve been going here for sometime I’m not sure what has changed from January till June but the food has gone down hill. Cornell’s meatballs were my favorite 2 huge and with a lot of flavor. When we went Wednesday I ordered the meatballs again expecting the normal I got the 3 smallest meatballs I have ever been served with no flavor at all in the meatball or the sauce VERY DISAPPOINTED. We also ordered veal parm with homemade pasta they served two different sauces which has never been done before the marinara sauce had no flavor to it and the other sauce not sure what it was but it was horrible not a marinara sauce and again had no flavor to it at all. I hope whatever changes have been made you switch everything back because this was the worst food I’ve had in sometime.

great customer service. great place to celebrate with family and friends.
Had a banquet after my mom's memorial service and the service and food was top notch! Thank you Maria Pappas for making a difficult situation very easy for my family. I called her - and a plan went into action immediately. Other facilities I had called, never even responded. The choice was clear cut and I highly recommend using Cornell's for any type of special events. The food was plentiful and remarkable and enjoyed by all 35 guests.

If you're looking for authentic Italian food this is THE place!! Service was so friendly and had such attention to detail! Food, oh the food! Bring your appetite! Large portions, fresh ingredients and flavors that are out of this world. You won't be upset stopping here. Plenty of parking in the rear as well as on the street.

Hand to God this was the best Mother’s Day of the past 20 years that I’ve been holding that title. Cornell was the main reason. oh and the fact that we had the best waiter in all of the Tri-City area named Ross immediately because he was so young I just assumed he wouldn’t know what he was doing, but not only was he super intelligent, confident speedy he knew how to communicate with the nine-year-old father-in-law and the kids and my drunken self I mean, it only took me a glass and a half of wine, but he used a heavy hand ?? I had filet mignon with lobster butter sauce, twice baked potatoes, and broccoli to die for literally. I’m not a person that usually orders an ant but it was the best one I’ve ever had anywhere. There was a special menu for Mother’s Day on top of the regular full menu which I thought was great. There was no limitations. And everyone must try the Utica greens. They’re not easy to make as perfect as Cornell does. You’ll never have better. This place is not cheap. I’ll be honest, but it is worth every penny. I’ve been talking about this meal for the past couple of weeks and I’ve been going to this place since I was a kid and I’m young as we are all WELL AWARE ? a huge thank you to Ross the best waiter ever!!!! Nobody, nobody could put up with my family as best as you … Your tip was well-deserved WE WILL BE BACK

Wonderful service! Kyle is so friendly and attentive. My family loves this place- the whole staff, Lauren, Murphy!! So welcoming! Try the cold antipasto- best 8n town!!
