Wife and I tried Northstar for first time last night. Requested to sit at the bar and served by Olivia. Both the service and the food was fantastic. Great selection of beers, wine and cocktails. I had the curry with fish and she had the burger with fries. Everything was cooked to perfection. The fries were crispy and seasoned just right. The curry was amazing! Highly recommend Northstar.
So freaking good. Everything is gluten free and celiac friendly. The fries are amazing as is the Mac and cheese. Only took away a star cause it is pricey.
I went to Northstar with a group of friends, and we adored the outdoor seating. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with signs making operation smooth. We had waited over an hour to get our food, which was probably the only bad thing about this place. When we did get the food, it looked delicious and tasted scrumptious. Would go again.
While visiting Ithaca for a music festival, we happened upon this place accidentally while looking for parking. We decided to get brunch here the next morning! It has a cozy local vibe, mixed with a contemporary and rustic touches. The food was outstanding and they serve food primarily sourced from the area. The menu was concise. Overall great find!!!!
One of the best places to eat in Ithaca hands down. Ever since being recently diagnosed with Celiac, Northstar is one of the best places to eat if you’re missing or reminiscing on old Gluten filled foods. I had an amazing GF fish and chips, and burgers. Almost every if not all menu options were GF or had GF options. Everything I had was amazing which also included the lemonade, fries, tamari chicken, and house salad.
The food was delicious. The vegetables were unusual, and some I believe were heritage. Very pleasant atmosphere.
Mother's Day brunch was a great time. Everybody enjoyed their food and the service was great. The Fried Chicken and Donuts were phenomenal and the French Toast is awesome! I want to come back sometime for dinner.
Eclectic comfort food menu with interesting farm to table ingredients. Indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly, attentive servers. Cherry sour cocktail was great. Casual venue was OK but bland. Definitely would go again for very good food at reasonable price.

Been here twice--once for a specialty Easter brunch, and second for a normal dinnertime--and each time was excellent. Great food, service, and space!
Wow, may have just found the best burger in Ithaca. As a warning, the burger starts at $19, but was 100% worth it to me. Local beef with a hand-packed patty that was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Awesome fries too. They had several side sauces for the burgers that perfectly doubled as dips for the fries. I only tried two, but can't wait to go back for more. The rest of the menu looks great too, but I honestly keep getting the burger and usually with bacon on it (+$5)
The bar is a treat to sit at with the decorations (full Star Wars cantina scene at the top) and they have some great and unique cocktails on the menu.
Rather limited seating inside (tables nicely spread and not packed in), but several tables outside under a roof and many more in their yard.
