You've got your eggs Benedict, your sausage, your usual American-style proteins. My omelet was just browned - very nice color - and not overcooked, which I was thankful for. That said I could've done with more seasoning. The home fries were pretty crisp; some too much so to eat. Totally worth a try!

Upon arriving, we were immediately greeted by such friendly staff members. We were shown our table,…read moreand after stating it was our first time, we were adequately told how things worked in terms of ordering, receiving orders etc. We were told at the front of the restaurant is their sauce bar, alongside with appetizers and desserts. We walked up, grabbed our sauces and took a quick look at what they had to offer for appetizers and desserts. Unfortunately, the items looked dreadful. The appetizers consisted of fried chicken wings, french fries, sesame balls and a seafood boil consisting of crawfish, mussels, shrimp and corn. All the items looked dehydrated, old and way past their prime. Nevertheless, we came for the all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ and we started ordering items off the iPad and they quickly made their way to our table. A very convenient plastic bottle of oil was at every table which made cooking on the grill that much easier. We placed in a handful of different cuts/marinated meats and seafood. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. Our top favourites were the kalbi (Korean short ribs), bulgogi and scallops. I'd like to mention the service here is top notch and impeccable. We were constantly checked on, and servers were ready to clear plates off our table to avoid it being overcrowded and their attention to whether our grill needed swapping out with a fresh new one was top shelf. Overall, we had a great experience here. From the most delicious meats and seafood to the great service; we'll gladly return next time we're in the area.

Let me preface this with that we only had the BBQ and not the hot pot…read more Back in Ithaca, and we were tickled by the fact that something like this exists now in town. We would have loved a place like this when we were on campus. This is probably an Ithaca 5. As in, for where you are, this is a good spot. When evaluating this place to a comparable offering in a bigger city, and it falls short. Staff were awesome. They came by when asked and were great. My favorite part of the entire place is the tablet ordering. I love places like that. You're not left waiting for someone to hopefully come by. Even refills and the check can be requested through the tablet, and that's great. As for the options on tbe menu when it came to BBQ, I wish they were a little better. The marinated meats lacked a little something that would take it to the next level for flavor. I found myself wishing for just a tiny bit more, but that's in comparison to coming from a bigger city with plentiful options. They had a self serve area with some foods and dessert. That was great as well.

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.

It's your basic sports bar definitely more than enough TV's to cover whatever sport you'd want to watch. We ordered pretzel bites with beer cheese the pretzels were very salty but warm and in my opinion better without the cheese it definitely is more like nacho cheese rather than beer cheese but it's not bad just nothing to write home about. I got the Caprese Fried Chicken sandwich and it was pretty good and the fries in my opinion are the real show stopper crispy but not burnt the perfect fry homemade I believe too. My girlfriend got the Chicken Philly in a wrap and she enjoyed it. We had a new server training with Julianna and he was great very attentive asked if I wanted a refill when my drink was gone. Which as a customer tells me you care and you're paying attention. We were in and hour in a little over an hour. I would definitely return if in the downtown area!
