9 Best Cocktail Bars near Waterloo

“A Refreshing Dining Experience at the Casino Restaurant From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. The host was so eagerly happy to greet us, and you could tell they were excited we had reservations. I had submitted a request through the app asking for water at the table, and to my surprise, they actually read it and had it ready when we arrived! That alone impressed me—it's rare these days for restaurants to pay attention to those kinds of details. The host was bubbly and friendly, setting the tone for a great evening. Once we were seated, our server—who we'd never had before—greeted us like we were regulars. Her warm and cheerful attitude really stood out and made the experience feel special. You just don't see that level of genuine hospitality often anymore. I asked if they had prime rib, and when she said yes, I was like, no way! We ordered it right away. The portion could have been a little larger, but for the price, it was still a good value. The green beans were cooked perfectly—not mushy at all, and still had a nice bite to them. I also appreciated that they used real butter on the baked potato. That little detail made a big difference. If I had one suggestion, it would be to expand the menu a bit more—but even so, we were really happy with everything we had. We'll definitely be back!“

“This was such a great find after a long day on the fall tours. We were driving to Ithaca and looking for some good food. We were all so pleased surprised. Everything was fresh and delicious and the service was stellar! Mushroom pasta and the fish!!!“

“We visited Vinifera on Saturday the 2nd of March. The place was hopping. Was a wonderful atmosphere. The host Kate was very fast, personable, and informational of the questions we asked. We will be going back and suggest to anyone who happens to be in the area to book your spot and experience the place, you will love it.“

“We planned on stopping here for a cocktail before going to dinner somewhere else. We ended up staying for a delicious dinner. The drinks were also great. However, the real star of the show was Joe! He was super friendly and helpful. He made sure we got the meal we really wanted and gave us tons of good recommendations for places to try in the area. My partner Romy is German and really appreciated the Underberg that he gave us. It was definitely one of the better dining experiences we’ve had in a while.“
