    Nice little spot in Ithaca. It was recommended by a park ranger at Buttermilk Falls. We got a table outside right away, no waiting. The server was very friendly but was lacking to attention. They gave us a bottle of water but no glasses to pour it in. We got our drink and food orders in. The cocktails were nicely made but very weak, very weak for the price. The food came out fairly quickly, but still no glasses and no silverware either. Whoever brought us the food went inside and gruffed at someone who then brought us some glasses and silverware. My friends burger and truffle fries were delicious. My steak frites was, well the truffle fries were good. The steak was not charred like the menu said and it was very chewy and lacking seasoning. We got split checks and provided our cards for payment. They disappeared with them far too long, at least 15 minutes. I don't like my card out of sight for that long and why places don't have table side payment is beyond me. Overall a nice place with friendly staff, but service was lacking. I would go back and try again.

    So, this place is so popular that people were being asked when they arrived if they made a reservation...at 2pm!! My husband & I were lucky enough to get there around 1:15, & just sat at the window by the bar since the bar had zero seats, but the ne t thing you know they were turning people away! Wow! Our service lacked, I think they were too busy at the bar to remember we were sitting there,so we only had 2 beers, the 2nd one took awhile to get, but, they made up for it with delicious food!! Their version of Brussels sprouts is not your typical fried kind, but vinegary,onion-y goodness, I couldnt stop eating it. We also did a cup of chicken soup, and pretzel crusted tenders. We loved loved loved these apps. The place was definitely crowded, saturday(fairy fest day at the commons) but im guessing its like this all the time. You definitely want to check it out, outsoor seating in spring/summer.

    Chopped Shrimp Salad

    Was in the downtown Ithaca area so stopped by Revelry Yards for lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon. Started with the Dr. Pepper Grilled Wings which were very good and had the Roasted Beet Salad, Chopped Shrimp Salad and the Fried Haddock Sandwich - all solid with the sandwich perhaps standing out the most.

    Came here late night since that close at midnight But the food was quite disappointing What we got: Calamari 2.5/5: they're quite small and the batter was quite hard Mushroom burger 2/5: very dry... and no taste... the best part was the fries...and I wouldn't call it a burger if it comes in a ciabatta bread Bacon burger 3/5: there was no taste from the burger but the bacon made up for it

    Cajun Chicken Pasta
    Eric D.

    Not bad nothing too spectacular but we enjoyed it. The pretzel batons were great and the beer cheese was super yummy too. My Cajun chicken pasta was more spicy than flavorful ended up not really eating much of it which was disappointing. Our waitress was very nice and prices were OK. Great outdoor seating available!

The menu itself is short and focused, while the interior of the restaurant features wallpaper with anthropomorphic animals, and large windows. I opted for the Burger, and my wife the Salmon. We also ordered the grilled dates and collard greens. I also decided on a Ginger Beer. They serve Goslings (since 1806), with all 47 grams of sugar, over ice and a lime. Highly recommended on the ginger beer flavor scale. The Burger came with a massive amount of their duck-fat fried fries, certainly more potato than burger. I also liked the burger with the added bacon. But my wife's Salmon was even tastier. It featured a nice hunk of fish, skin-on, crispy, and not some half-or-quarter fillet that other places might serve. Plus, it comes over a bed of green peas and canneli beans and green asparagus sauce on the bottom, and a small bed of frisée on top. The combination with the lemon cream leads to very satisfying bites. The grilled dates wrapped in bacon, with goat cheese, Marcona almonds, and honey were presented as a drumstick. The collard greens were nice, though on the saltier side. Seating here can be had inside or out. The bathrooms are located in the hallway next to the restaurant.

They are great for recommending favorites whether it is food or wine recs. Our server was amazing, and I wish I remembered her name as she was incredibly patient with my friend and I. We hadn't seen each other in a long while so we took forever to figure out what we wanted to eat, and once done eating, they were more than okay with us ordering a couple more glasses of wine to stay and chat longer. I will absolutely be back and hopefully to enjoy the outdoor seating on a nice day.

However, did love the elevated feel of a typical American bistro. We thought the service could've been more attentive, but improved as the evening progressed. Our waitress was super nice and was helpful in explaining the menu specials and answering any questions we had. Most notably on the menu, the NY strip was a perfect medium rare. We opted to get the 4 jumbo shrimp on the side, which we thought retained a nice snap when we bit into it. It was also well seasoned, while still displaying its freshness. The fries complemented the steak, but was too well done for our liking. Our other entree, the lobster mac and cheese, had a nice cheese pull. We liked the added roasted tomatoes in the baked mac and cheese, which gave it a necessary acidity that countered the creamy, cheesy roux. For our appetizer, we chose the meat and cheese board, which was really solid. Appreciated the waitress explaining the selection, as well as the addition of a sour cherry jam and pickles on the side. This gave us a lot of mix and match options (64 to be exact), and we also liked how it came with charred/toasted bread. Finally, we wrapped up with a chocolate peanut butter parfait and key lime pie. Both were really good (get both if possible, but we liked the latter more).

This time (Jul 2026) was like our visit a couple of years ago. The menu was rather short, and we didnt see many middle-of-the-road or ordinary comfort-food offerings. Their local sourdough bread appetizer was fresh and nicely flavored, and we chose the fresh olive oil side just because it's so luscious. We could have had chive-butter. The marinated olives were flavorful and a little spicy. Their NY-cheese board had a tasty selection of soft and hard cheeses. The salads had choices of a chutney-paneer based mix, which was refreshingly creative. And we liked the Farmstand berry-cherry goat-cheese almond salad. These were all appealing. Chickpea salad or stew, tofu or salmon over steamed veggies, or smoked-trout open-face tartine sandwich, each sounded good, but we didnt bite. None of the mains called to us. I guess we just felt that none of those menu items screamed out we-gotta-come-to-this-restaurant. The food tasted like just homemade and fresh, but not exceptional. The food was ok, no complaints, but not a big thrill.

I ordered the tofu green curry and the man ordered the Moosewood burger. Neither dish was hot upon arrival at the table - more like lukewarm. The man says the burger wasn't particularly flavorful, although the roasted potatoes it came with were very good. The curry was flavorful and spicy, although the curry sauce was on the thin side. We didn't order appetizers (other than the olives) or dessert, so I can't comment on either. The service was friendly and efficient. When I mentioned that the food hadn't been served hot, the server removed two of our drinks from the bill as compensation, which was appreciated. I would give it another try before leaving Ithaca, but my expectations will be tempered on a second trip.

The food menu is now several pages long, including tried-and-true favorites (many gourmet burger varieties, chicken sandwiches (with a Nashville Hot style option), nachos, wings, and salads . . . plus more intriguing fare like kimchi tater tots, a tuna poke bowl, and pork belly burnt ends. The inside has a gorgeous polished wooden bar in the middle for socializing; and while the inside can get crowded at peak times, keep in mind there's an enormous beer garden out back with about 15 picnic tables. And with a well-curated selection of two dozen beers on draft, you're sure to find something you like. But here's the amazing part about my visit: despite it being a weekend evening at the height of the dinner rush, our food came out in less than 10 minutes. And it was SO YUMMY. So keep in mind that, even if the parking lot looks full, there's almost always plenty of room out back. The two folks on the wait staff we interacted with were super nice, down to earth, and did a great job. The ordering process is a little confusing at first if you haven't been there, but the staff members was really helpful at walking us through it. Bottom line: Brewer's is the kind of neighborhood joint that's all too rare in these parts. Highly recommend!
