Their sauce is on the sweet side but offered on the side. Onion rings were outstanding, real onion rings, not chopped. Fries were a little on the limp side, did like the dipping sauce that came with them. Cornbread was like cake with icing. Overall I would definitely recommend!

As luck would have it, it was Binghamton Restaurant Week and we attempted a walk in - first available was three+ hours later - but the hostess mentioned we could get the RW menu at the bar and two seats were calling. Lots of choices on the menu but friend and I ended up having the same meal! Cup of Cauliflower, potato and leek soup to start was yummy - very comforting, not too thick, good flavor - I could have stopped here! But fortunately did not! Main was spectacular! Salmon with everything bagel spices served over pearl couscous in a risotto style was inspired (honestly, I will try this at home)! I hope this is a menu regular because I will crave this for many more meals! Add a black Manhattan and this meal is a treat! (Took the dessert course to go - blueberry cronuts were better than chocolate but both likely suffered a wee bit from loss of ambiance and slight steaming that occurred on drive - good for sure but did not compare to the rest of the meal). Shout out to Tommy F for exceptional service - attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance is lovely (the lighting dimmed as we sat - hysterical) but we also scored the most comfortable seats in the house (I hate a high top stool with no back and no padding on the seat - those stools look nice but should go away). Also love the hook under the bar.

I think it was Lauren, she was nice enough but did not go above and beyond for her customers. She did not want to move us to a more comfortable table, despite our requesting multiple times and the place was literally empty. Finally she was able to make it happen but it was already unpleasant. She was good with bringing us hot waters with lemon as requested, but there was zero proactiveness to refill the hot water or any of the iced water. It was like us going out and trying to please the waitstaff. She did make a good suggestion for the lavender gimlet cocktail. Overall disappointing.

I…read moreoffered to take a friend of mine out for her birthday and this was the place she picked, and it was also her first time here. We both heard mixed reviews but in the end we both had a pretty good experience. We each started off with a cocktail, she got the biscotti one and I got some sort of margarita, both of which were made with house made gelato. We traded sips and both of them were great! I'm usually disappointed when I get cocktails anywhere anymore but these were very good. You're going to get a sugar rush before you get drunk off one, but they were still a great way to start off the meal. We each ordered a pizza too. I got just a plain one and overall i thought it had a very good flavor. the cheese was interesting, it was a little creamier than usual mozz but it worked out great. The sauce was also very good, it was a little sweet with enough seasoning to make it stand out. The dough had a nice neutral bread flavor, but I wish it was stretched a little different, the crust was huge but the part with the sauce and cheese on it was super thin and floppy. The pizzas are on the small side, and I don't think they use a wood fired oven, but it was still good. I would like to try a regular entree next time, but I would definitely like to have their pizza again. The restaurant itself is on the small side but it's pretty nice on the inside, not too upscale but a little nicer than casual. I've seen a lot of complaints on here about the service but I had zero issues with it, our server was nice and the busser kept a good eye on our waters and was quick with refills. the prices were about what I was expecting, $50 for 2 pizzas and 2 drinks All in all I had a very pleasant experience, if you're hesitant about going, give it a shot.

Library Lounge at Skytop Lodge feels like stepping back in time in the best possible way…read more From the moment you walk in, everything slows down. Dim lighting, big comfortable leather chairs, bookshelves lining the walls, a fully stocked bar, and historic photos throughout the space create a classic lodge vibe that feels timeless without being stuffy. It is cozy, polished, and incredibly relaxing. The staff is knowledgeable and clearly takes pride in what they serve. The craft cocktails are well made and thoughtful, and if you prefer beer, there are solid options there too. As a bourbon lover, I especially enjoyed their private barrel pick served neat, a real treat and easily a standout pour. This is a perfect pre-dinner or post-evening stop, we have done both, and it works beautifully either way. Dress is slightly casual but leans upscale, and while pricing is a bit higher than average, it feels completely worth it for the setting, quality, and experience. We sank into the chairs, talked story with friends, and lost track of time, which really says it all. If you are anywhere near Skytop Lodge, make sure this is on your list. Plan extra time, you will want to linger.

We went for a smaller bite and a drink. The BBQ chicken sliders were pretty good, though nothing particularly special. The dark and stormy was the drink special of the night at $7, so we opted for that. The dark and stormy was also nothing to write home about, but was a good dark and stormy nonetheless. We also got a bottle of the Ithaca Apricot Wheat Ale. There weren't many tap options which I feel is something that could be improved. They do have a couple of unique drinks on the menu that I would like to try (the chai cocktail and the blackberry mojito). Overall, I would be back to try the other drinks and enjoyed my time at The Greenhouse.
