In fair weather, we frequently make the trip to the southern end of Cayuga Lake from Binghamton…read more It's a lovely drive, but the destination is supreme. The BoatYard is one of our most special places. We go there for birthdays, anniversaries, and just to treat ourselves to something we realy look forward to. The food, service, atmosphere, and lake view are delightful. We go mostly in the warm seasons because we prefer dining outside. Expect superior fare and service that are well worththe price. Try it, and I feel comfortable in predicting that you'll return frequently as well.

When they were served we couldn't help but notice the strong fishy smell, that's a no no for lobster. Needless to say they weren't good, they put sweet Thai chili sauce on the Brussels sprouts and the potatoes they served with it had zero flavor even after adding salt. The service was great at least We scratched this off our list for next time we're in Ithaca.

The atmosphere was great, the service was friendly, and everything came together for an enjoyable visit. Even after all this time, it's one of those places I look back on positively. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Impressed on my first visit to this restaurant! After a day of hiking 15 miles on the FLT, we…read moreneeded to refuel and recover with a drink and dinner. We decided on Bickering Twins, because can you go wrong with Mexican food and a margarita? Luckily we had no wait on a Friday evening at about 7pm. I was worried that since not many people were there it was a bad sign, but that was not the case. We were seated at a nice, sort of private high-top table near the door, which made it feel like we had privacy and our own little space. We ordered drinks, and I wimped out and went with a paloma instead of the tamarind maragarita. The paloma was great, but I'm still wondering whether I shouldn't have risked it. Our group of three decided to get chips & salsa (because why wouldn't you), and then we ordered three dishes to share. Our choices were as follows: Peruvian Ceviche, Birria Quesadilla and Chicken Enchiladas. First of all, the fact that they had ceviche and it was good just hands down made my day. It was good - I only wish there had been some corn kernels served with it. The birria quesadillas weren't what we had expected, but they were very flavorful and the juice was tasty. I Really enjoyed the enchiladas for the mix of flavors and textures. There were so many vegetables with our dishes and the sides of rice and beans were more than filling. My only complaint is that the rice was too much of a yellow rice - I prefer a white rice, but that's just personal preference. Even though we kept the menu at the table anticipating that we would want to order more, we ultimately were stuffed and the portions (while they looked small were actually quite filling!). Jose our server was kind and friendly. I would definitely come back as there are a variety of other meals I would try, and they have flights of Mezcal and Tequila that looked tempting. After a long hard day of hiking, this fabulous meal made the day. We returned to our hotel with sore legs, but our bellies full!
