Tavern on the Commons

Really nice relaxed pub like atmosphere. Just looking for something warm on a cold day. Did not disappoint. We were welcomed and the hostess asked if we wanted the fireplace on since we looked cold. Great atmosphere, great price just what we needed.

The food was good when it arrived, but the service was quite slow. So, to start, we ordered Guinness on draft and the waiter informed us that it might be awhile bc he had to replace the keg. We didn’t worry about that because we figured it wouldn’t be long to complete that task. Boy were we wrong!!!! It took so long that my colleagues had to change the drink that they ordered. When my Guinness came out it was good but the wait was longer than seemingly necessary. Additionally, the restaurant was not crowded with patrons, so I’m not sure what the delays were attributed to. We, then, waited on our entrees, which didn’t arrive for almost a full quarter of football (which is about forty minutes). When the food arrived it was delicious but that could be because of how ravenous we were consideri

The food is absolutely delicious and they have a good selection of drinks on offer. The staff are very friendly and the prices are fair. The restaurant itself is very beautiful with some amazing wood booths. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in town.

Great place for a happy hour! Raven was so attentive and hooked us up with all the sauces our chicken bites could handle. We can’t wait to make this our regular happy hour staple.

This was a beautiful tavern with lovely woodwork inside, and lovely service from the waiter to get us libations and food. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the thick and cheesy grilled cheese with the macaroni and cheese, while I enjoyed a pint of Down East cider. The cider was delicious, and so was the rest of our food as we vibed after a day exploring Ithaca. The photo is of an interesting Bills Mafia burger we saw but did not get (Go Browns).
