Loved loved loved! Me and my boyfriend came for the weekend and after a day of waterfall hiking we were famished. Came here and it didn’t disappoint! Server was excellent! Very good at describing food and flavor! We got the short ribs and the salmon meal and split them! I can’t pick which one I liked better it was that good! Would recommend to anyone! It had outdoor seating ! It had take out eat in! The older building was beautiful! Had a lot of character! We sat by the window loved watching the hustle and bustle of the area!
I'm a huge fan of their braised beef short ribs and Faroe island salmon. The beef was tender and buttery. The salmon was properly seared, asparagus was cooked well, mash was a bit grainy although the seasoning was good. Service was super awesome too. The place is usually crowded, make sure to take a reservation before you go.
We were in town for the weekend and heard good things about this place. The cocktails were just meh. The Garlic Cheesy Bread was a really good appetizer to start with. The beef short rib was really good but the shrimp scampi didn’t live up to the hype. The Bolognese was a good choice that our waiter Sophia recommended. Service here was very good and quick.

Was up in Ithaca and was surprised that so many places were closed on this particular Sunday. So we took our chances with some of the places in the commons. We ended up at Mahogany Grill. Ordered the calamari, truffle fries, and French onion soup for appetizers. Calamari - hard to mess up and they didn’t fail, just wish the portion size was a little better. The truffle fries were excellent and the mayo it’s served with tasted like it was blended with Parmesan or something to give it some additional oomph. It was so truffle-y that it almost made you wonder exactly how they did that. The FOS was pretty flavorful but it had a pretty strong oregano hit that you might not like if you’re a purist. For entrees, we got the beef stroganoff (full of meat, pearl onions, and mushrooms), the meatball spaghetti (totally lives up to its description - it’s massive), and the Mahogany burger (ordered medium - arrived medium). It was slightly busy so a little slow on bringing us the milk for our coffee, but otherwise our waitress was on point and we had an excellent meal there. A word on the interior - it had kind of like a nice, weathered bar kind of vibe to it. There was plenty of seating out front. Bathrooms were clean. Would be happy to come again and try some of their other offerings.

I stumbled across this place while trying to find an Italian restaurant. We had called ahead to inquire about a reservation and was told that nothing was available until late but that the outdoor patio was fcfs. When we showed up the patio was full but they had tables available inside. A little confusing based on what we were previously told but good news regardless. The majority of the inside was empty so we got a nice big booth.
We started with an order of calamari and a couple salads. The calamari was nicely breaded and crispy, complete with fried cherry peppers and a tasty marinara sauce.
For dinner I had the penne alla vodka with shrimp and my gf got the chicken parm. The penne alla vodka was in my top 2, if not the best I've ever had. The shrimp was fresh and well cooked and the pasta to sauce ratio was perfect.
The service was also exceptional. The whole restaurant industry is suffering from a shortage of workers right now but you would never know it here. The staff was very attentive and I haven't had service like this since covid began. My water glass was never even close to being empty and the food came out quick.
Don't miss this hidden gem if you are in Ithaca.
Best meal we had all week. Steak was juicy and doneness was as I asked. Scallops were done well and tasted fresh. Potatoes were tasty. And the dessert was good too.
In downtown Ithaca modestly located an excellent steakhouse. The space decorated in heavy wood gives a feeling of relaxation.
The service is professional and above all, the steaks we ate were delicious and made to the right degree.
As guests in town it was a nice surprise for us.
Lovely atmosphere and locals. Friendly staff. Prompt service. Great Mediterranean salad. Ordered salmon with sensational crispy polenta cake and asparagus that combined was just perfect on a gentle snowing evening
Came here for lunch, and the food, atmosphere, and service was great! The calamari and the specialty orders here are fantastic (especially the sweet potato fries that came with the burger!), but the pasta isn't anything special and a little overpriced. Would still recommend if you are looking for a grill in the Commons area.
An exceptional dinner! I would highly recommend the Crackling calamari, Blackened shrimp, and the Grilled Apple and walnut salad. We usually order several dishes and take some leftovers home, no leftovers tonight- the food was that good.
