"So far, super disappointing. I hate giving this place less than good review, but- I thought I was treated poorly by the employees . Went to see a show at state theater. We were initially put in the aisle where everyone walks by, and servers, too.. I declined to be seated there. Seating lady said that they were saving seats because band was going to be there...Hours from now there might be a band? Also others get the booths? We were there at 4:30, having made reservations and- No one here... No way for this place to disrespect a customer. We ended up in a back room being used for storage of some bags of stuff. With small flies circling around us , landing on our food while we ate. Food was good. But see pics. Classic burger, pink inside. Like it that way. Fries good. Server did come by to ask if we liked food, we acknowledged it was good. Fish chips were good, but the skin was left on fish. Didn't like that. Potato served with fish was good. Chipotle tartar was too spicy, did not have regular tartar? Any way showed waiter a fly on plate. No reaction. No discount. Not interested in going again."

"Right in downtown Ithaca was excited to try the food and a great location. Inside is a bit interesting -very sterile feeling. Our server Anthony was nice enough. I had the Ellicottville blood orange to start. The food was ok. Here’s my issue with this restaurant they charge $5.00 for soda. I don’t even think this included refills if it did we weren’t told. I have been around the world and this is most I have ever paid for a soda. This is why our bill came to 87.48 for lunch. Also when they give you the pay with cash option you always feel like you are losing out, this is a first while dining out. Never have seen the pay with cash option at a restaurant only at gas stations. Would I return to this restaurant, no. We all know that soda costs pennies to sell. Overpriced lunch two thumbs down"

"Yummy! Hot food on a cold day, with a nice glass of wine. Check this place out. Relaxed atmosphere, great service (thank you Savannah) and delicious bites. The French Onion soup was nuclear hot, smothered with cheese and crunchy fried onions. The fish fry had a super crispy beer batter, but still moist and flaky inside. (Get the chipotle tarter with it) The "sidewinder" fries were a pleasant surprise. The Ruben was so savory, and came with some tasty straight cut fries. We had the crab cakes too, so good! They came with some slaw and a perky apple chutney. Check out the Ithaca Ale house today."

"We decided to check out the Ithaca ale house because of a TikTok that I saw regarding the skillet wings. The flavor of the skillet wings were so good however, I wish there was a little more topping on them for paying two dollars extra to make them skillet and the beer, cheese was really good, but the pretzel was average. It wasn’t really busy inside, so our waitress gave us a lot of attention and she was very sweet. I can’t remember her name, but she did a great job. The host seemed a bit flustered, but it could just have been an off day for him. I would definitely go back and get the wings again if I would visit Ithaca. The atmosphere was just your basic bar, but they did have a lot of seating."

"Dropped into Ale House with high expectations after a recommendation from an Ithacan. The lady at the reception was engaged in a long conversation with a young man and didn’t notice me standing there. When she finally took me to a table, she showed no courtesy or hospitality, which was disappointing. However, the young lady who served me was polite and attentive, and she ensured my food arrived promptly. Although they claim to have an award-winning burger, I didn’t find anything particularly unique about it. Overall, I have mixed feelings about the restaurant."
