HIGH LOUNGE - (Near Poughkeepsie, NY)

Melissa Fergusson Hound and Mare is a coffee shop with a nice ambiance and a rustic/urban warehouse feel off the downtown commons in Ithaca. I’ve been looking for a coffee shop with great breakfast food in Ithaca, and this place definitely fits the bill. If you’re looking for something a bit more gourmet, but still in a relaxed environment this is the place to go. There are plenty of food and drink options to choose from which are creative. It was also nice to hear Adele playing in the shop, one of my favorite artists! I got a lavender latte (which was flavored just right - not pictured but delicious) and the breakfast burrito. It comes with homemade salsa that has the right balance of acidity and kick. It was also a very generous portion size. My husband got the Maple Latte, iced, and the Melrose sandwich which is a bagel sandwich with bacon, fried egg, cheese crisp (which is really good), and he added roasted tomatoes. Definitely a tasty bagel sandwich! We also tried a couple of the pastries which were also well done - the scallion cheddar scone and the pumpkin cream cheese muffin which wasn’t too sweet. Would definitely come again!

Phil Dutcher Food was great. Awesome server. Mushroom Swiss Chicken and BBQ bacon cheeseburger prepared exactly as we asked!

Bianca R No notes on this place. Simply outstanding food, great ambiance, perfect for coming with friends so you get to try a lot of the menu items. They were all fantastic. Would come back to keep on trying stuff for sure. Our favourtie dish was the crab tofu! Highly recommend coming here! Thanks for the great experience

Kristin Butler My boyfriend ordered the shaved steak sandwich and it was delicious. I got the baked mac and cheese with pulled pork and it was definitely lacking in cheesiness and a different pasta type (orecchiette listed on menu but got regular elbows), but still very good. The soft pretzels appetizer was delicious, particularly the mustard beer cheese dippping sauce. The main complaint is just that the current menu was not listed online which would have been helpful to check out beforehand. Would definitely come again.

Max Cohn Grabbed a regular slice and spinach artichoke slice for lunch and both were terrific. The regular slice was above average size and the staff were very pleasant. The inside of the restaurant was also very clean. Would definitely return!

Craig Crandall Parkers Grill and Tap House did not disappoint. True to their fashion, the service was more than top notch. The food, on time and delicious as usual. Their Beef on Weck sandwich was absolutely amazing. My wife had a delicious salad topped with a great beef steak and Bleu cheese dressing. Not too busy, plenty of space to enjoy visiting with the ppl we were with. They enjoyed their food too. Parkers is definitely one of our favorite places to go, and we will be returning.
