I enjoyed the cornbread that they brought out to start- slightly dry and crumbly as most cornbread is but still yummy nonetheless. To start we tried their oysters. Not bad for Ithaca! For mains, we ordered the crabcakes and the fried shrimp basket. Both were on the salty side- classic shrimp fry. I told the waitress it was my friends birthday and asked her to bring out a slice of the chocolate cake as a surprise, but she forgot multiple times... maybe she was having an off day? Nonetheless, I liked the chocolate cake! Quite a filling meal, though nothing really stood out, I'm not sure I would return.

Solid food, good service…read more We started with the brussel sprouts and the gyozas. I really enjoyed the brussels- crisp and flavorful. The gyozas were pan fried- which I know a lot of people enjoy, but I don't. Too oily for my taste. One complaint is that I was expecting the squid ink pasta to be fresh/homemade pasta but it wasn't. I still enjoyed the sauce though. I wish the sauce was more of a sauce and less of a broth... it was a tad on the watery side and didn't stick to the pasta that well... a little hard to eat. Salmon was also slightly dry- it very much needed the sauce for some added moisture. Me and my friend came at around 5:15 on Monday and there was no wait- the restaurant was completely empty but started to fill up as we were on the way out. Overall, all of the food was fine though I'm not sure I would return.

However, did love the elevated feel of a typical American bistro. We thought the service could've been more attentive, but improved as the evening progressed. Our waitress was super nice and was helpful in explaining the menu specials and answering any questions we had. Most notably on the menu, the NY strip was a perfect medium rare. We opted to get the 4 jumbo shrimp on the side, which we thought retained a nice snap when we bit into it. It was also well seasoned, while still displaying its freshness. The fries complemented the steak, but was too well done for our liking. Our other entree, the lobster mac and cheese, had a nice cheese pull. We liked the added roasted tomatoes in the baked mac and cheese, which gave it a necessary acidity that countered the creamy, cheesy roux. For our appetizer, we chose the meat and cheese board, which was really solid. Appreciated the waitress explaining the selection, as well as the addition of a sour cherry jam and pickles on the side. This gave us a lot of mix and match options (64 to be exact), and we also liked how it came with charred/toasted bread. Finally, we wrapped up with a chocolate peanut butter parfait and key lime pie. Both were really good (get both if possible, but we liked the latter more).

I've had brunch, lunch, and dinner at MIX, and all with varying levels of enjoyment. My recent…read morebrunch experience included ordering a Where the West Begins omelette, which includes "Braised short rib, butternut squash, red onion jam, spinach, smoked gouda". I wasn't sure how to feel about butternut squash with everything else (I'm not necessarily a huge squash fan - but I'm trying to learn to enjoy it), but the omelette was decent... it's the other side on my plate that looked less than appetizing. The biscuit was still covered in flour (and who wants to bite down on a clump of flour?), the cheddar hashbrown casserole lacked in flavor, and the brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal just... wasn't doin' it for me. Other recent experiences have been similar... there's usually one item on the plate that's flavorful or imventive (sometimes a main dish, sometimes a side), and the other parts of the plate are lacking. In reality, I think MIX is suffering a bit from rising food costs and inconsistency in their service and offerings. They've also changed the style of their menu from the original tapas-style to now being more typical entree options. Again... they've lost some of their innovative, experimental approach. In terms of ambiance, it really depends. I've been here for a work event and, because of the number of people, it was SO LOUD... they had also done a buffet offering for the event. As you can imagine, the food from the buffet was lacking, but that's often what happens when you're more mass producing your food (and it's left in a chafing dish, trying to be kept warm). On the other hand, I've been here for a dinner on a random night and was able to enjoy one of their Thai noodle bowls (and split some other apps with friends). The reality is that experiences at MIX are... well... a mix. Whether service, menu offerings, etc., I've found MIX's recent inconsistencies to be a disappointment. Will probably only visit in the future if it's suggested by others.

My friend got the captains platter and said it was some of the best seafood she's had in town and it was also a healthy serving. We will definitely be back to try more things on the menu and dessert of course.

Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and mouth watering. The prices were very reasonable, the portions were just right, and nothing felt overdone or pretentious. Also, don't skip the fried cheese curds -- they were amazing. If you're anywhere near the area, The Decoy is absolutely worth a stop (or two).
