My wife and I are frequent visitors to Northstar. It's the perfect neighborhood restaurant with delightful cocktails, delicious comfort food, and staff who are fun and funny. After a long week, Northstar is a soothing balm. Dietary restrictions: Most dishes are gluten free.
Love this perfect neighborhood spot that offers yummy food, delicious drinks, and a great vibe, always!
Love, love, love this place! Can't wait to come back when it's warmer and we can sit outside. There's lots of Gluten-free and locally sourced options. I would say the only negative was music was kind of loud for a casual dining experience, so perhaps they could turn that down so people can converse more. The other thing was the tables were a little small for all the delicious food we wanted to order lol. We had the Gluten-free Mac n cheese which had an exquisitely creamy cheese sauce with a nice sharpness to it. The Gluten-free fish was crispy and moist inside (we switched out the fries or rather "chips" to side of coconut rice) which was a nice contrast so that it wasn't a completely fried plate. Also had the locally sourced wings, which were HUGE. We recommend the Baltimore style wings.
The food was pretty good. However, the first 3 drinks that I picked off the menu were sold out. Also, it is a bit overpriced for what it is "$26 for <4oz of blackened Whitefish with Cheese Grits."
The first time I ordered here, I was blown away. The next 2 times not so much. Fries were either old or microwaved cause rock hard and cold. Why would you do that, Northstar?
Good good. Good service. Decent atmosphere. A bit weak on Vegan options.
Love this place! The Tofu wings amazing!
One of the best places to eat in Ithaca hands down. Ever since being recently diagnosed with Celiac, Northstar is one of the best places to eat if you’re missing or reminiscing on old Gluten filled foods. I had an amazing GF fish and chips, and burgers. Almost every if not all menu options were GF or had GF options. Everything I had was amazing which also included the lemonade, fries, tamari chicken, and house salad. Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free heaven
