A hidden gem. Especially great on a cold wintery night when you're looking for a hearty meal and stiff, yet delicious drink. A local must. The fireplace has me dreaming of snuggling up with good food and a hearty drink, which is exactly what they serve. Great food and greater experience.

It's a cozy restaurant with amazing food and friendly people. The steak was one of the best I've ever had.

My husband and I were visiting the area and the hotel clerk suggested Antlers, a locally owned restaurant. We went for happy hour and had delicious, tender, brisket sliders and wings. Loved the fireplace and the atmosphere. Our server Molly and the bartender Casey were so hospitable and pleasant.
We enjoyed it so much, we went back later in the evening to get a bite to eat. The place was packed. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the live music. My husband had the smoked Mac n cheese with the pulled pork and I had the Santa Barbara salad. The salad was full of flavor with the freshest ingredients. The smoked Mac n cheese was decadent! Creamy, rich and flavorful! Ended the evening with nice chat with Scott the owner- felt like we were talking to an old friend😊. Great company and easy conversation! It was the perfect ending to our mini vacation

Wow! We were treated so well when we came in. The service, the food, and the atmosphere was top notch! The delmonico steak was the best I've ever had. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience, A++

Service was top notch! Our waitress was awesome!
Some of the food was delicious and some was just ok. We ordered the Beef Flight, unfortunately it was underwhelming. The brisket was really dry, and it's only saving grace was the spicy bbq sauce it came with. The other sauces we served cold and would have been 1000 times better if they were warm. Compound butter for steak served hard and cold? No thank you! It is served with delicious mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Unfortunately our vegetables were more potatoes in the form of not fully cooked sweet potatoes.
We added bread and shrimp to our flight, which were both delicious. They had a dessert flight too that I was excited about, but on the menu the only choices were Gelato. While I love Gelato, it would have been nice to have different options, like the Bourbon flights. For dessert we ordered Crem Brulee and the chocolate and peanut butter mile high cake. Both desserts were delicious!
Because of the great service, drinks and desserts we will be back. The duck dish sounds intriguing so I will give that a try.

Had a business outing of 25+ ppl on Monday 10/2/23. I state the date because a majority of restaurants in the area were closed. Their loss..Antlers gain. From the moment I made the reservation to the day after when the owner called to follow up - EVERYTHING - was outstanding. The wait staff handled our party as if it was a table of four, drinks consistently were served at the right moment, steaks were outstanding & deserts were over the top. Highly recommend.

We had a great meal last night for our anniversary. We haven't done a nice date night in sooooo long and all I wanted was amazing food and a good quiet atmosphere. Well, check, check. My husband loves steak so when I told him we were going and their special was a steak special (listed on their website) he asked the hostess about it, turns out they just switched the nightly special and haden't updated the website but the owner or manager came over to let us know they would still honor the steak special. We really didn't mind one way or the other, but I definitely appreciated the consideration.
Our server was also amazing. It was her first night there but definitely not her first resturaunt job. She was great!
It's definitely not a resturaunt that fits my every day budget but I will continue to go back for these "special occasions" because I'm guarenteed to walk away 100% satisfied!!! We are going to try out the brunch soon!

Great restaurant in Ithaca area. Menu isn’t huge but all the dishes we had were delicious and of high quality. Very accommodating when we brought our dog with us. Staff were courteous and friendly. Highly recommend it.

A modern and clean looking place that has been around since the 80s. Great steaks, the old fashioned cocktail was perfect, service was attentive and quick.

Amazing food. Worth the premium price tag. Little gem that unfortunately is missed by many. If you love steak, support this local spot and actually buy the kitchen a round - it's really a thing.
