Kilpatricks Publick House

The restaurant closed in December 2023.

We found this wonderful place this summer and have regularly visited since… we are saddened by it’s closure but hopeful that tha manager Mara and servers Lisa and Ashley will be retained by the new owners… Mara has been so welcoming, funny and runs a well oiled machine .. Lisa and Ashley are both lovely, attentive servers who were always accurate and friendly.. we adored our times with all 3 and enjoyed the delicious food as well…

Inside the Hilton hotel, this bar is supposed to be closing soon and reopening with a rebranded look. But it has been an Ithaca staple for years. Good service. No frills.

We are staying at the Hilton several days and stopped in Kilpatricks late afternoon on our first day for some drinks. Murph, the bartender, was great. He greeted us with a smile and quickly got us out drinks. He seemed to know the others at the bar and engaged all of us in conversation. We had some laughs with Murph and were sad to find out that he wouldn't be working the rest of our stay.

Loved the waitress. Best corned beef and cabbage. Others had great fish and chips…thick and crispy. Enjoyed the onion soup, but really salty. Two orders of soft pretzels were thoroughly enjoyed.

Sheppard pie was good but it small and with very little meat 90% mashed potatoes. Good luck.

Great place in the hotel

Had a great dinner! The Guinness beef stew was awesome, service was prompt and friendly! Will definitely dine here again next time we're in town
