Good authentic Cajun!…read more With so much to choose from in Ithaca NY, why would visitors look into a Cajun restaurant? Because we've found that this town is a foodie paradise, we love catfish, and we love love blackened catfish. We had Maxie's blackened catfish in a flavorful spicy deep-pink Creole sauce, with maple-braised (!) collard greens, black beans and rice. They were not fooling around. They know their true Cajun seasoning. The oysters at the next table looked great, too, but we had missed the happy hour special. Of course we added an appetizer of fried green tomatoes with a bright somewhat-spicy New Orleans version of remoulade. Any they didn't shortcut the sazerac either: they rinsed the glass with Pernod, and finished it with authentic Peychaud's bitters. Wonderful.

My husband and I had dinner at Maxie's Supper Club & Oyster Bar last week, and we had a great time…read more Maxie's in a little bit of New Orleans in Ithaca, and it really excels at that. From the building and decor, to the drinks and decor, NOLA is everywhere on the menu and in the restaurant. We started with a State Street Hurricane (dark and light rum, passionfruit, and lime) and a Spicy Margarita, which were both great. We had a half dozen of both of their oyster selections (Malpeque from PEI and Spindrift from MA), which they serve with freshly shaved horseradish (a nice touch). Then we shared a Caesar salad, their fish fry, and their special of the night - pan-seared arctic char (with a creamy tomato sauce with capers, cheesy grits, and garlicy spinach). Everything was great. As usual, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, and we couldn't eat everything we ordered. But the food was so good we ate most of our leftovers the next day for breakfast. The service was very good, and the vibes are great - it's comfortable, casual, and fun. We had a fun meal and some great food. I'd happily return.

For my dinner, I ordered the Lobster & Crawfish Pot Pie. Talk about heavenly. The lobster veloute' tasted sweet and savory. The pot pie came with chopped potatoes, crawfish, pieces of fish, sweet corn, carrots and celery. The pot pie came with an arugula side salad with some cheese. I felt so honored to have eaten this pot pie. The creole buttery puff tasted terrific. Joseph ordered the rib eye. The ribs came with a side of risotto and molasses baked beans. He said he liked the food. Andrew our server did a fantastic job of making us feel welcomed. He got an A+ for service and communicated to us about the status of our order. Talk about being serviceable, near the back, customers could go to the bar. While in Ithaca, come to Creola Southern Steakhouse. Bring friends, family, or a date.

Who knew you could get breakfast at Chick-fil-A? I didn't. But I do now…read more Knowing how good their chicken sandwiches and nuggets are, you gotta figure their breakfast items would be pretty good too correct? Well, not so much. I ordered what should be a simple and semi tasty breakfast. I got the bacon egg and cheese on a muffin. I guess I didn't know what I was expecting, but I expected a little more flavor than what I got. The muffin was lightly toasted and chewy. Not bad. The egg was a good size, but tasteless. The bacon was, dried bacon. I guess this will be my one and only time I choose breakfast at Chick-fil-A.

It seems like everyone working there are family members in some way. All cousins I believe. So, it's a family operated business. Anyways, the original chicken is still finger lick in' good. The sides are way smaller and expensive than I remember but they are still tasty. they include of course things like mashed potatoes, slaw and Mac n' cheese which go great with fried chicken. There are some outdoor picnic tables but when I was there they were wet from the rain earlier and hadn't been wiped off. the whole outdoor space could use a good landscape designer and some screening so your not just eating in the middle of a parking lot. No large lids were stacked at the fountain but overall well run and not a bad place at all. If I was going to choose to eat fast food I would certainly choose KFC over the many other venues in that part of town. Be sure and check out my pic !!! This is the sort of thing that your subliminal mind can catch as you walk-in or drive-by that says "don't go there" and you may not even realize it happened.
