We are in town for a conference and this place is pretty much across the street from my hotel. I had the steamed mussels and the kettle chips with cheese fondue. My server was quick friendly and kept checking in on me to make sure I had everything that I needed. The food was very tasty. Definitely want to go back. A true gem More...

Dad and I went here for dinner. What appeared to be the fanciest place in town certainly met our expectations. The ambience is pretty intimate with a nice clean white and blue look. The service was pretty good, the food fantastic, and the prices slightly outrageous for Ithaca, New York. I get that Ithaca is home to a private college and Ivy League university, but Simeon is getting away with charging Manhattan prices, with apparent success. We split a dozen oysters to start. They have quite a selection and they let you order individually, so we tried two of three different kinds. Delicious, but how can you screw up oysters? Dad had the cup of chowder and red curry mussels as his main. I tried both and could easily see why he was in love. The chowder was on point and the mussels had a nice kick.I went with the seabass topped with artichoke over mashed potato and broccoli. The sea bass was cooked perfectly, but I wasn't blown away by the creativity or flavor profile for $42.Overall, the food was very good and the service was more friendly that attentive, but my biggest gripe is the acoustics in the main dining room a half-level up to the right of the entrance. It gets so loud to the point where you can't even hear. Kind of a shame that in a nice place like this it's hard to enjoy a conversation. More...

My friend and I went to Simeon's on our last night in Ithaca for a nice dinner and we had a great experience. We had a reservation for 7pm on a Saturday and I would definitely recommend that - it was very busy. We were quickly seated in the oyster room and greeted by a very friendly server. I ordered the ginger pear martini and it was one of the best martinis I've ever had. We started with half a dozen black point oysters that were fresh and salty just how we like them, as well as the meat & cheese board that came with a cheddar, bleu cheese, pickles, honey, and jam. When there's only two cheeses, I don't love when one of them is bleu, but it was still delicious. We finished with the vino blanc mussels and the kettle chip cheese dip. The mussels were excellent and I loved the sauce. The kettle chips were lackluster and were drizzled with cheese, meaning most of them were just dry. We finished the night with a pistachio cannoli and a peach cobbler, both of which were excellent. Overall, a wonderful experience and I would love to go back and try more things! More...

Everything was excellent. The service was great and the wine recommendation was spot on. I had the raw oysters for an appetizer and they were amazingly fresh and delicious. I had the steak for my entree and it was a tasty high quality cut of meat. More...

Located on The Commons complex in Ithaca NY , there was nothing ordinary about our meal or the service. We had a wonderful steamed mussels appetizer that was enough to satisfy our party of 4. Entrees did not disappoint - a couple of blended burgers, a lobster roll special and a club sandwich. Everyone was very pleased with their choices. We also had a fantastic waitress who made the occasion just that much more enjoyable. Highly recommend this restaurant!! More...

I went with a few people to have dinner for the first time. We were all very impressed with the food and atmosphere. The menue is limited but the food was fabulous. The soup of the day was New England clam chowder and was the best I ever had. My pork chop dinner was superb especially the side of vegetables and how it was prepared. We will all plan on going back. I highly recommend. More...

Great specials and they went above and beyond on Christmas Eve by opening on a Monday which is usually the day they are closed. The chef sent out a special home made Irish cream for dessert that was excellent. I had the short rib special with horseradish mashed potatoes which were perfectly seasoned! What a great experience and a special Christmas Eve we had. More...

Just went to this place. All the places in the commons were so busy but decided to try here and see if our luck was meant for this restaurant. The hostess was genuinely caring and trying to accommodate the five of us which she did. They seated us in a nice quaint area of the restaurant. They had to get an extra chair which they did. The waitress was excellent, sincere and thorough. The food was excellent. We ordered the steak and the salmon for our main course. Kettle chips and the dip for our appetizers. The desserts were to die for. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Definately will visit again soon. More...

Amazing. Beautiful, newly-renovated interior space with very professional staff and amazing food. Making reservations is a quick and easy phonecall. Not sure you could go wrong with anything on the menu. Amy at the bar is amazing. A little on the pricey side but totally worth it for a fine dining experience. One of the best restaurants on the Commons! More...

By far the BEST restaurant in Ithaca. I come here almost every week since I discovered this place last semester. Taste is so balanced! They make basic comfort food with a slight twist. Even the side dishes are made with care and paired specifically to the main course and changes according to the season. Even their simple local greens salad is well thought out, balanced, and extremely tasty. Can always discover something new on the special menu. Service is always always good. More...
