I enjoyed this place very much! It's a small, well appointed restaurant and bar and you can see right into the kitchen. The menu is also small but that can be good, less decisions and everything HAS to be good, I wanted to try it all. I started with the ECHO cocktail, I loved it! Next was the duck f
the food was good, but i wouldn’t say mind blowing. the fried chicken was good in a way that’s not too greasy. the inside of the chicken was completely unaffected - which i love. the portion is also big with one chicken breast and one chicken leg. the summer pasta was on the creamy side with some sp
Very cool vibe sitting outside in the garden, we could bring our dog too which was great. Food was really quick and delicious, staff are really lovely too so no complaints. Would definitely recommend this place. Quite close to the Ithaca commons so all around great place to visit.
Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing and delicious. One of the best burgers I have had and service was great. So nice sitting outside with a dog
Got all 4 of the small plates and it was a good amount of food and variety for 2 people. So delicious. And a great Manhattan too!
A hidden treasure! They serve amazing southern comfort dishes and the cocktails are amazing. Get the duck fat fries, my first time trying and i loved it. The fried chicken really hit the spot. I love the shrimp grits as well. The salad was one of the best. Refreshing and a good balance of tangy swee
Always great service and food at The Rook. I like how they always have a few staple menu items and some rotating, so you can stick to a favorite or branch out depending on your mood. Plus, the cocktails are top notch! I’ve definitely gone here just to sit at the bar for a couple of perfectly mixed d
Unexpectedly delicious and beautiful dishes, with service that made us feel like VIPs. Really interesting north/south fusion flavors and terrific cocktails. Way, way better than Fine Line Bistro (which occupied this space years ago) ever was. We're coming back soon!
This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant! Always so reliably good in all ways. The small menu makes choices easy and both food and drinks are excellent.
Solid eats. As the other reviewers have said it is a little pricey but you are getting awesome food and I don't mind paying a little more. When I go away for a week or weekend I just don't hold back, if there is something new, unique and fun, I want to try it. I personally didn't think the prices we
My fiance and I went here for a few drinks while visiting family in Marathon! Great bartender and drinks. Didn't get any food, but a lot of schnitzel was ordered by others, and it looked and smelt amazing!! Would definitely try that the next visit!
Great food but the chicken was a little disappointing/overpriced--maybe the batter could have been flavored better or chicken a little less overcooked so it wasn't as chewy? The bacon wrapped dates, fries, and tart were excellent and would highly recommend! Overall service was friendly and fantastic
Quality, appealing F&B experience with great service! The cocktails are fresh and unique. They have a depth of flavor and that idea carries over to the food as well. The bacon wrapped dates were our favorite of the evening! They don't look like much, but the full flavor experience makes them complet
I cannot recommend The Rook enough. Start to finish, one of the best meals I've ever had. The hushpuppies with the pimento cheese is better than some entrees I've had. Having spent a few years in NC, I can say that the south wishes it could create such a wonderful hushpuppy. The cheeseburger was abl
Small but different food and bev menu. Having a glass of Albanno from Spain - dry... waiting for my friend. We split a Great appetizer- blue cheese … bread… and lovely pasta with squash. Staff let us catch up!
Incredible tasting dishes and a cozy atmosphere!! We loved it!
Love love love the vibe here! We travel from NYC and went to the Rook for very first dinner in Ithaca. My favorite was date-bacon. The BBQ ribs were bomb and please try their hot toddy.
Thank for keeping the business running through the hard time!
A wonderful small restaurant. Excellent staff, tasty food, and inventive cocktails. Highly recommended!
I was driving through Ithaca on my way to Albany Airport and stopped for some takeout! I got the salmon: delish! It had this yummy tomato relish that was a pleasant surprise. The potatoes were like a sad over-warmed breakfast buffet option but luckily I ordered an additional side. It can be hard
