Mmm Roast Duck!
Dave N.

What a pleasant surprise in Ithaca! There was a great variety of small and large plates here of varying spice levels with Thai and Indian flavors. I had the large plate of roasted duck which was delicious in a savory sauce and bok choy. We also got a Penang curry with beef which was very spicy in a very good way. Memorable small plates included the mushroom satay and lotus fritters. I would skip the Dahl app and sea bass entree next time. We really enjoyed this meal!

This has always been a reliable option for a nice dinner. There are a variety of small and large plates (all appropriately portioned) as it is a tapas restaurant. There are also a variety of dishes ranging from curries to noodles to wings. The service is good. I have enjoyed the food each time I have come. They also have specials every night for tapas, entrees, and drinks. Note there are also a variety of dishes from different cuisines and cultures.

Mia was so wonderful ! Really tasty food, great service and a nice ambiance made for a five star experience all around. The menu has lots of small plates and some decadent sounding entrees. You can make a meal out of the small plates alone if you order enough! It was hard to pass on some of the mouthwatering entrees though. We started off with a few small plates -- bbq pork bao and grilled portobellos in peanut sauce. Pork bao are my favorite and these were no exception - the pork was super juicy and flavorful. Mushrooms weren't much to write home about but ordering a veggie at least made me feel a little better about myself. The highlight of my meal was for sure the beef stir fry which came in the sweetest sauce with so many fresh veggies and well cooked meat. This came with a side of fluffy white rice. My husband loved his crispy duck. We both cleared our plates! Mia has a full bar and you can wash everything down with a cocktail or choose from a selection of local wines and beers. It's all about the local wine in Ithaca, so of course we had to order some. Our server was super attentive and even though the restaurant felt crowded he continually came over to check in. If I return to Ithaca Mia will surely be on my list.

Mango cheesecake and lemon sorbet
Wendy L.

Came here on graduation weekend (reserved ahead of time of course). Each person gets to choose an appetizer, entree, and a dessert for $60 per person. Since we came in a group of 5, we shared the appetizers family style. For apps: seared tuna, crab wonton, beef skewers, shrimp with curry. The seared tuna has a strong pepper taste (so stay away if you don't like that). The beef skewers were deliciously marinated but a little on the dry side. The shrimp with curry was delicious (on the menu it says it's prawn, it's really just regular shrimp). The highlight was the crab wonton - this was delicious including the soup that came with it! For entree: I got duck in sweet and sour sauce, with rice on the side - this duck was absolutely delicious. Crispy skin, tender meat - the sauce was also really good albeit a tad too sweet. For dessert: did a little family style as well - mango cheesecake, lemon sorbet, and lava cake. The lemon sorbet was underwhelming. The mango cheesecake and lava cake were absolutely delicious. The lava cake had a raspberry swirl on top of the ice cream. The chocolate inside did melt like a lava (always the test of a good a lava cake), and the cake itself is pretty good, tasted like regular chocolate cake. Overall, a wonderful place to grab dinner at for a special occasion - the name of this restaurant lives up!

a bowl of noodles and a fork on a table - A white ceramic bowl contains ramen with cooked noodles, sliced green onions, and broth. The bowl is positioned on a smooth blue table. To the right, there is a yellow napkin with a fork and knife placed on top. In the background, a glass of water and other table items are visible, indicating a dining setting.

Their food is spicy, delicious, and really hits the spot. Prices for entrees are reasonable. I tried the sea bass.

Mia has always been a delightful place to enjoy a dinner, if perhaps a somewhat small location that can leave you feeling a bit cramped. That aside, it's a classier (but relaxed) restaurant that serves delicious, Asian-inspired tapas. I've always experienced really solid service here, with knowledgeable staff as well. I've also been having a Mia craving during all this covid craziness, so I opted to order for delivery the other day (a variety of items, just to have some leftovers). The order (with prices for reference) included: Order From Mia Tapas Bar: $7.50 Sauteed Brussel Sprouts $11.00 Lamb and Beef Kebab with Naan Bread $16.00 Prawns Pad Thai $21.00 Duck Panang I consider all the prices fairly reasonable especially given the deliciousness of the dishes. My cravings have been appeased (nom nom nom), and I'm already planning my next splurge on Mia to order some new items from the menu that I haven't tried before. TL;DR Mia is always a favorite - especially for a nice date night, but delivery for dinner at home works just as well. :)

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.

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).

The thing that was different this time was I had to leave early so we visited for brunch and I quickly, was saddened that they do not serve mussels during brunch time but to my delightful surprise the chef made an exception an I was smiling so hard that the waiters were please and extremely happy for me. For that I am grateful and needed to recommend my favorite restaurant on the Ithaca commons.

Unique mac and cheese and good gnocchi!…read more I am debating giving the rook 3 or 4 stars... I was not a fan of the salmon mousse... far too salty and I wish it was paired with crisped bread or at least something other than Ritz crackers. I did, however, enjoy the presentation and taste of the macaroni au gratin. The square shape is very unique and I liked the cheese sauce. The lamb w gnocchi was also quite good. Pillowy and soft. The lamb was cooked well. Overall, I would maybe return. I enjoyed the macaroni au gratin as well as the lamb w gnocchi!

Loved the Rook's design choices, filled with anthropomorphic art and light yet refined ambiance…read more It wasn't too crowded when we arrived and we were seated immediately. Staff was pleasant and quick. The menu is dominated by drink options (cocktails and wines), and happy hour is 4-5pm, which is perfect for an aperitif. The fried chicken is by far their speciality, with the macaroni coming in as a distant second. But while both were delicious, I'd say the best value and taste goes surprisingly to the simple summer salad, which was crisp, sweet, tangy, and refreshing. It's only $10 for a hefty portion of food and I'd order that again anytime (and that's coming from a guy who'd never normally order a salad). My only criticisms are that the Rook doesn't have many entree choices (which may be a good thing for indecisive diners), and that it's very slightly pricey. Otherwise, it's an easy recommend for me.

We stayed at the Statler Hotel for work and enjoyed dinner here both nights. Not pictured are all…read morethe appetizers we devoured (crab dip, chicken bites, sweet potato fries, and the fried polenta). I personally wasn't a fan of the fried polenta, but also did not try it with the sauce. The first night I tried their lavender lemonade (non alcoholic), which I thought was good, but fell in with the Lemon Tree cocktail the second night. Both nights I ordered the "burger of the month" which was a pesto burger. I added bacon and asked for a Caesar salad instead of fries. We ordered two of the chicken bites so the group could try both sauces, but since I'm not a fan of spicy, I only tried the honey truffle one and loved it. Our servers were very nice and patient (we were a group of about 10), and if I'm ever back in town, I'll be sure to try some of the other entrees!

The Regent Lounge is one of those hidden gems that never misses. The food is consistently…read moredelicious, the drinks are thoughtfully crafted, and the vibe strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and elevated -- whether you're out for date night or catching up with friends. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff.

It's one of my favorite spots in the area -- cozy, stylish, and always a good time.
