I have lived in Ithaca for 7 yrs and the very limited menu here has not changed. What has changed is how rude the staff is and the quality of the restaurant. Besides being impossible to plan for.. since they don't take reservations and turn away customerseven with empty tables.. the food is average at best with NYC prices, all topped by unhappy and unhelpful wait staff.
Menu - 35 options
