The Bistro At La Tourelle

Went for a wine pairing dinner. The wine pairings were ok, but the food at the bistro rescued the night. The octopus, the lamb, the crab cakes, the chowder were all fantastic. They were locally sourced and it showed. Wow, very impressive. I can't wait to go back and try the brunch (review to come), but i am sure it will be as delightful and comforting as the dinner I just had. It's an Ithaca area must!

I recently was on a bus trip and we stopped for lunch. As a group we had placed our food orders ahead of time. A few days before the trip I had to restrict my diet which ruled out just about everything there was to eat! However Jessica Wiggins could not have been more understanding and accommodating, she made every effort to make sure all my dietary needs were met, she didn’t make it awkward for me and I loved my lunch. Thank you Jessica!!

Absolutely fantastic service at the Bistro! Our waitress was attentive, kind, and gave us great recommendations. Breakfast was a delicious classic style. I had the avocado toast with a bottomless cup of coffee. My partner did the classic breakfast combo with a Bellini. Everything was tasty and as expected. The building itself is full of charm and character. I would gladly go back.

This is our second time having breakfast here but the first time we stayed at the inn and ate in our room. The sausage was excellent. and the Liege waffles my wife had were great. We have never tried them that way and they were so good! The fruit bowl that came with breakfast seemed fresh and had huge blackberry's. It also came with 2 scones that were perfect. Portion sizes were generous and service was very good. The atmosphere in the dining area was no better than OK. The front windows could have been cleaner. I think there is a nicer room than the one we were in. Overall a very nice breakfast. We will be returning.
