Simeon's On The Commons

We stopped in with no reservation and we were squeezed in last minute. Our waitress Danielle was wonderful. Quick, professional and always brought more food!! Dinner was fantastic and refreshments from local brewers was highlighted. Atmosphere is fun and relaxed with an eclectic mix of patrons making this a must visit destination while in Ithaca!! Thanks for everything!!

Beautiful look, the color and decor gives a rich upscale look, the high ceilings, the open upstairs dining area... I sat at the bar, very good service, the staff never stood still, constantly doing something, it just added to the fun for the night. The food was on point, I licked the plate clean. it was that good. Definitely go back.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome party here and it was fantastic. We had a sit down dinner upstairs and then rented our the lower level for the party later. The food was great and the staff was so attentive. We all had a great time and the location was perfect for guests staying on the commons. Highly recommend!

Fantastic for dinner and brunch! I meant to take more photos but the food looked and smelled so good that I ate before I could take a photo! But really, Simeon's is at the top of the list of best places to eat in Ithaca. For diner, you are going to have the best oysters on the half shell. This will be accompanied with a great main and glass of red. For brunch, your tiredness will be met with a top level espresso and mimosa to both wake and relax you. The cinnamon roll (it's remains pictures above ^) will make you close your eyes as you go for a little of the extra icing. Then you will have a top level meal of a omelet or lobster roll. If you have one meal to eat in Ithaca, Simeon's is definitely on the short list!

We made sure to make a reservation in advance before our trip to Ithaca. From the moment we've got in everything was superb. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and amazing Bloody Mary cocktails made a great first impression. Our brunch experience started with amazing fresh oysters, cocktail shrimp and marinated olives followed by extraordinary mains: Eggs Benedict, Croque Madam and a Brunch Burger. They were all bursting in flavors. This is an extraordinary place!

Amazing restaurant. During weekend nights it can be very busy, and I would recommend setting up a reservation early in advance, otherwise it can be a 30-45 minute wait. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Anything you try on the menu is guaranteed to be delicious. I had the oysters and salmon, and loved them. Desserts come in small sizes, which is welcome after such a filling meal, and are packed with flavor. Prices are a bit more than average, but it's absolutely worth it.
