Thompson and Bleecker - (Near Ithaca, NY)

Elizabeth R We visited early for dinner on a weekday after a day of hiking and were made to feel right at home by our wonderful server as soon as we walked in, and had a lovely time seated outside by the water. The owner of 50 years cooked for us—the Cajun blackened catfish was to die for, and we got to try salt potatoes for the first time. The Rachel sandwich and the grilled Cajun chicken sandwich were also delicious. We really liked the seasoned potato wedges and a refreshing cocktail. The pictures may look simple, but the flavors are amazing. The decor, while a little dated, only adds to the charm. We were on the fence about going and are so glad we did. A must stop!

Catherine Long drive day, perfect spot for a great meal cooked to perfection. A great wine selection as well. Had an amazing server in MacKenzie. Perfect booth and just really a nice dinner. Will definitely make an effort to make it back.

Cherie Watson Fish fry with mac & cheese is fabulous!!! Highly recommend. Mason was our server and was excellent- smiles, efficient, and seemed to truly enjoy serving! Hes a great addition to the other tenured awesome servers! 1 star less on atmosphere only due to seated right next to 2 other boisterous parties when there were other open tables. Could consider option to seat with some space between parties, especially as we were past the Friday dinner rush.

Jiovani Rivera Holy moly! I always wondered why the place was always packed! Now I understand. The food was amazing and the place is actually really spacious, from the looks of the outside it seems small and parking sucks but the spot and bar and customer service is always working hard and amazing! Ambiance was sweet, came for our holiday party!

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!

Justin Wirth Perfectly cooked pizza and wings. Fast service. Great prices. Can you ask for anything better? I love the flavor of the BBQ wings and the crust is PERFECT. We get pizza here weekly. We have never had a bad experience. I miss the late owner but his crew is still going strong. See you next week!!
