We stuck with classic flavors and ordered a twist, which was half chocolate and half vanilla. They did, however, offer black raspberry, bubble gum, and sugar-feee vanilla soft serve flavors as well. The medium-sized cup ($3.95) was more than enough for two to share. There is a longer list of hard ice cream flavors, such as white lightening and kaluah almond amoretto, and sundaes that sound delectable. The high-quality desserts, along with the generous portions for great value, make this a spot worth returning to for further exploration.

I'm only sharing this because the note I left myself after eating at Nicky Doodles was: "Utica, bitches." That's right. This is Utica. It's technically New Hartford I guess, but it's as close to Utica as I've ever really gotten. And you know what? I'd come back. Nicky Doodles is basically just a roadside burger stand. It's not fancy, but it hits the spot. I had a burger, my kids had chicken fingers, and we all had fries and ice cream. And all of it tasted good, and it was served up by some nice girls in the window. There's nothing I'd like to change except the fact that one of my kids just seems to use food as a spoon for ketchup. Maybe she'll grow out of it?

This is the best ice cream spot in CNY in my opinion. Situated just outside of Cazenovia on Route…read more20, the Nelson Creamery is an unassuming ice cream spot that opened a few years ago and has quickly become a go-to when I'm in the area. Their prices are reasonable and the serving sizes generous. The "Creamery" part of their name is exemplified in their soft serve. It is creamy, thick, and doesn't melt right away like other ice creams might. I've tried the soft serve, hard flavors, and their version of a flurry/blizzard/etc. and can recommend all. A cool fact about the Creamery: it was opened by the local Masonic Lodge and their goal is to use profits to give back to the community. Very cool. Not much else to say here. Head to Cazenovia to check out the lake, have dinner at one of the great local restaurants, and finish up with dessert at the Nelson Creamery.

Ice Cream and service was not the best that night but sometimes what makes a place great is how issues or when problems arise how it is handled. Management came over to make it right.

I've passed this little shop a million times and I would mention how I'd like to check it out, but…read morenever got around to it. So, me and the family went to check it out Mother's day but the line was long and we didn't want to wait for basic Ice Cream so we left. We decided to come back the during the weekday and there was no line. We walk up to the front and take a look at the menu and realize they have way more than "basic ice cream," actually there's nothing basic about the ice cream or the food! I got a Grasshopper pie cone and it was crazy good. It had mint chocolate chip, my fave, and brownie pieces. Drooling looking at this thing! My mate got an ice cream sandwich and the dope thing about their ice cream sandwiches is that you pick the ice cream and they make it on the spot! I also ordered a half pound cheese burger with chili, xtra pickles, lettuce and tomatoes. The bun was toasted, the meat was good, seasoned and juicy, the lettuce was fresh and the pickles were huge! I couldn't finish the whole thing, but my mate took care the rest for me. We both thought it was really good and this might be one of our summer go to when coming in this area. The place can be easy too pass because it's further back off the road but you can't miss the sign or the crowd in the parking lot. There is plenty of parking and seating for the family, along with a nice size lawn so maybe a blanket could be thrown down too. The staff is nice and the prices were really good. $15 for a 1/2 lb burger, 2 scoop cone and an ice cream sandwich. We all were happy with the taste and price and we will be coming back often.

Nola's is known for contemporary American cuisine, situated at 9 West Park Row, just off the…read morevillage green in Clinton, NY--an historic, small college town near Hamilton College, led by Executive Chef and Co-Owner Janssen Fay. We visited over the weekend with friends who had dined there previously. Our 6:30 reservation was honored promptly upon arrival. The village setting is quaint, and the restaurant itself is warmly decorated--upscale enough to feel special but still relaxed and approachable. After being seated, our server presented the drink menu and specials. Our friends ordered the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, along with the Steak Nicholas and the double smash burger. My wife selected the seafood special--a blackened salmon with lobster salad--while I opted for the Steak Nicholas as well. The food arrived in a timely manner and was everything was very good. My steak was perfectly cooked, complemented by the house Worcestershire sauce and compound butter. The fried green tomatoes were also well-prepared. The only disappointment at the table was the brown butter cake our friends ordered for dessert, which they found dry and lacking freshness. Where the experience fell short, however, was service. While our server was polite, she was difficult to find at times, leading to long waits for assistance. There was also some confusion when boxing up leftovers. The most significant issue arose when it was time to settle the bill. Our total came to $260, and we requested separate checks. Unfortunately, our server seemed very flustered and unsure of how to split the bill, and after some back-and-forth, she suggested dividing it evenly. We agreed simply to avoid further delay. However, when processing payment, the card charge came to $153 before tip--well above the correct half of the bill (approximately $130). Combined with our friends' $200 cash payment, the total ended up being $380, which inadvertently resulted in a very large gratuity - something we didn't realize until we had left the restaurant, as the confusion surrounding how to split the bill was frustrating and we simply wanted to head out. While we take responsibility for not carefully resolving the issue before leaving, the confusion around the bill frustrated us in the moment and left a negative final impression on an otherwise enjoyable meal. Overall: The food was excellent and worth trying, particularly the Steak Nicholas and seafood offerings. That said, service and billing procedures could benefit from improvement to ensure a smoother dining experience.
