    The food was pretty good, but unfortunately the service was extremely slow. It took a long time to get a drink refilled and then when we were done eating our server asked if we wanted to see a dessert menu and boxes for the leftovers. We said yes. At least 10 minutes later she brought the menu. Ten minutes after that she took the dessert order. At least 15 minutes after that we still had not received our dessert and I had to ask for it. The manager came over and rudely said we had not been waiting that long for it and that it takes time for them to warm it up but she would take it off the bill. That explanation wasn't necessary - just sorry everything took so long would have sufficed. Also, we were in there so long, we forgot to double check that our teacher week discounts were applied. We were not given an itemized copy of the bill so we couldn't check, but based on the total cost our discounts were NOT applied. We had to ask 3 times for the boxes as well. Unbelievable. It was the reason we chose the restaurant. We won't be back - there are better local options in Ithaca for sure.

    We waited for 15 minutes and no one ever came to seat us. We did not end up using the reservation.

    Terrible service, and the food was not worth waiting for. It took 2 hours to order, receive and eat our dinner. The place had plenty of empty seats (now we know why), but even so the food took forever to get to us. Drinks were slow, too. The hamburger had an odd taste as if something besides beef was in it. The french fries were kind of dry and chewy. The onion rings had an odd flavor that we couldn't identify, but they clearly had a history in a freezer, as did the fries. The haddock was pretty good, but since only one person ordered it, the meal for our little group was a failure and afterwards we went to the Short Stop for take-out sandwiches.

    They were out of some entrees and nearly all desserts except cheesecake. The onion soup wasn’t hot.

    We were having a small group (6 people) special event and were treated so well from start to finish. Would definitely go back as a group. Booth near the back door was private and pretty quiet. Everything was delicious. Cassandra was very attentive and fun, and put up with our very opinionated group. Great evening.

    The food was delicious but the kitchen made a few mistakes with our order. They appeared to be understaffed for a Friday night.

    Reasons for my so-so review: They were out of my wine choice and the menu item ordered by my husband (shepherd’s pie). His burger, ordered to be cooked to ‘medium’ was rare inside. Also, it was very loud and difficult to talk in the restaurant. On the other hand, the lamb burger was very good.
