Mccormick's At Moakley House - Ithaca

Frank is the man very kind and helpful. Lunch was a lovely experience because of them. I would have left a fat tip if it was allowable. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Had an event here recently it was very disappointing. They had a total of 4 staff working for over a hundred people. The poor staff was obviously WAY overwhelmed absolutely miserable. The food was served buffet style but apparently was by guests choice. Meaning, the guests were supposed to pick a main dish... But it was all on the buffet with zero explanation. By the time the last few tables got to the food almost everything was gone with no replacements. Food wasn 't even that good. Fish was over cooked, dumplings were cold the risotto apparently was a main dish? Overall, I would NEVER have another event here frankly wouldn 't ever eat there again.

Sunday afternoon watching PGA Championship. WAY too many flies inside the bar area. Burgers were very average for the price and buns were both burnt which wasn’t end of the world as we try to not eat too much bread. Hard to eat when you are shooing flies away; they could use a fly fan and close the door nearest the bar perhaps. No liquor license but plenty of beer choices. They are certainly trying as service was excellent and they comp’d the beer without our saying anything.

I had an amazing experience at the cider tasting brunch this morning. Each of the four dishes was thoughtfully prepared, interesting, and quite hearty—everyone left feeling full and satisfied! Our favorites were the root vegetable egg hollandaise and the delicious apple cheddar quiche, with the maple sweet corn crème brûlée coming in a close second. The ciders paired beautifully with the meal, and we really enjoyed talking with the cidery owner, who shared insights about the production process for each cider we tried. We would all love to come back for a similar event in the future!

I had a wonderful experience! The appetizers were tasty, and the staff was friendly and engaging.
