For my dinner, I ordered the Lobster & Crawfish Pot Pie. Talk about heavenly. The lobster veloute' tasted sweet and savory. The pot pie came with chopped potatoes, crawfish, pieces of fish, sweet corn, carrots and celery. The pot pie came with an arugula side salad with some cheese. I felt so honored to have eaten this pot pie. The creole buttery puff tasted terrific. Joseph ordered the rib eye. The ribs came with a side of risotto and molasses baked beans. He said he liked the food. Andrew our server did a fantastic job of making us feel welcomed. He got an A+ for service and communicated to us about the status of our order. Talk about being serviceable, near the back, customers could go to the bar. While in Ithaca, come to Creola Southern Steakhouse. Bring friends, family, or a date.

We went here for a random Friday date night. It's always bustling so we decided to check it out…read more The decor is great with outdoor seating available and a full bar. They have a great menu and it was honestly hard to choose. I went with the BBQ Ribs which were super tender and delicious. The service was great and so was the presentation and food. Everything was very delicious. I want to come back soon to try some of their blackened fish entrees. Def recommend!

Good authentic Cajun!…read more With so much to choose from in Ithaca NY, why would visitors look into a Cajun restaurant? Because we've found that this town is a foodie paradise, we love catfish, and we love love blackened catfish. We had Maxie's blackened catfish in a flavorful spicy deep-pink Creole sauce, with maple-braised (!) collard greens, black beans and rice. They were not fooling around. They know their true Cajun seasoning. The oysters at the next table looked great, too, but we had missed the happy hour special. Of course we added an appetizer of fried green tomatoes with a bright somewhat-spicy New Orleans version of remoulade. Any they didn't shortcut the sazerac either: they rinsed the glass with Pernod, and finished it with authentic Peychaud's bitters. Wonderful.

My husband and I had dinner at Maxie's Supper Club & Oyster Bar last week, and we had a great time…read more Maxie's in a little bit of New Orleans in Ithaca, and it really excels at that. From the building and decor, to the drinks and decor, NOLA is everywhere on the menu and in the restaurant. We started with a State Street Hurricane (dark and light rum, passionfruit, and lime) and a Spicy Margarita, which were both great. We had a half dozen of both of their oyster selections (Malpeque from PEI and Spindrift from MA), which they serve with freshly shaved horseradish (a nice touch). Then we shared a Caesar salad, their fish fry, and their special of the night - pan-seared arctic char (with a creamy tomato sauce with capers, cheesy grits, and garlicy spinach). Everything was great. As usual, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, and we couldn't eat everything we ordered. But the food was so good we ate most of our leftovers the next day for breakfast. The service was very good, and the vibes are great - it's comfortable, casual, and fun. We had a fun meal and some great food. I'd happily return.

We've wanted to try this place for years, but it's never occurred to us during a Friday or…read moreSaturday, which are the only days they're open. Last Friday was one of those days we knew we needed to order out, but we were well on track to make a whole evening out of fretting over where to go. I don't know what it is, but sometimes absolutely nothing in the world sounds good. By some act of god, I remembered this place and our evening was saved. Their menu changes weekly, so we referred to their Facebook page for this week's options. I've only heard great things about them, so I had no question whatever we ordered would be good. No prices on their website, and money was definitely an issue on the eve of the St. Patrick's Day Parade, so we made kind of a flow chart in case pricing got crazy. Placing the order over the phone was difficult. They couldn't understand us, and they had to run every question by somebody else and get back to us. We ordered the jerk chicken and smothered pork combos, then threw in a pint of shrimp fried rice. I wish I could have tried everything; it was really tough coming to a decision. Cash only. I read so many reviews and everything they had online and didn't see this mentioned. Luckily I had just hit the ATM for the parade. The place is pretty small, take-out only. Easy parking, easy in and out. Everyone's super friendly. A lot of the appeal is how clearly they take pride in what they do. All around it just seems incredibly authentic and like nobody's cutting corners. So the food was great all around. We'd eaten garbage all week and were really going for that fresh, wholesome feeling, and they delivered in every way. The only hiccup was that they gave us Smothered Chicken (I think) instead of Smothered Pork. They labeled the box SP, but put the wrong thing in it. I was disappointed to see it because the pork was the first thing I knew for sure I wanted to get. Six seconds into the meal though, I truly didn't even care anymore. It was absolutely amazing. So tender it came right off the bone. It has to be the best I've ever felt about a chicken thigh entrée. I've only tried Jerk Chicken a few times, and mostly from a few Jamaican restaurants right here in town. I never really understood the point of it, like the taste just never amounted to anything I cared about. One bite of this one and it all made sense. Like, I now understand what they're going for with the flavor. Same perfectly tender chicken, and we absolutely loved the taste of both. We were curious about how the Shrimp Fried Rice would shake out with soul food, and it's definitely unique from Chinese takeout. Nowhere near as greasy, and it had a more savory, mildly smoky taste to it. No conflict with the beds of rice our entrées came on either. This wasn't our favorite fried rice, but it was good to have with our meals. My favorite side was the baked beans. Perfect texture, amazing taste. So soft and yet, so completely distinct. Didn't even know I could enjoy plain no-frills baked beans this much. The collard greens and yams were about average. I think for yams I'm used to a lot more butter and sugar than these ones had. Collard greens were just straightforward as well, no taste outside the greens themselves. Texture couldn't have been better though. Mac and cheese was good, but well past al dente. Super soft and didn't really pack enough flavor to make it top tier. The cornbread is standard issue - really soft and pretty dry with just the regular cornbread taste. I'd love to try some of the other things on the menu, but probably wouldn't for the price. There's nothing here I wouldn't be absolutely excited to have, but the experience wasn't profound enough to pull us back for $25 a plate.

My husband and I ordered the curry chicken bowl (collard greens, rice, meat and cornbread with another vegetable side). He went with corn and I went with green beans w/potatoes as the extra side.

There wasn't a curry sauce like in a Chinese or Indian curry, but the curry was definitely present and delicious. Portions were generous. Sorry, I completely forgot to take pictures! The background music was nice and atmosphere was country cozy. If you're looking for good, home cooked real food, Marshall's is a good place to check out.
