“ An absolutely incredible dining experience in every aspect. The food, atmosphere, and service all complimented each other beautifully and made for a stunning night. The meal is ordered all at once and coursed out, allowing to be continuously one upped by the last item and be continuously impressed by the dishes. The appetizer dishes blew me away and somehow the food maintained or surpassed the quality at every turn. Service was impeccable and very well informed on all the dishes, exactly what you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. No weak points in this dinner at all. Highly highly recommend coming here if you are looking for an elegant and delicious meal that will blow you away, as long as youre prepared to pay accordingly, but it will be worth it. ”
“ OMG SO GOOD. I did not expect to have such delicious French food in Ithaca!!!! Everything tasted amazing, make sure to order their steak fries, so tender and creamy. ”
“ Pia, our server maybe a misspell, and everyone else that worked there was beyond knowledgeable. They walked us through food, wine, and liquor choices when we were a little indecisive and needed help. One of the better meals Ive had, and probably top 3 Ive ever had in Ithaca. Highly recommend the daily specials, but NEED to recommend the steak frites. Perfect sear on the steak and the fries are tight shoe string fries, aka crunchy. Also the onion soup is enough for two to share if you want. I usually am not a fan, but this one opened my eyes to what French onion soup should be. Huge wine list, but if you can narrow it down to a few, they will guide you to the right choice. 55 all around for service, food, and drinks. If you get the chocolate cake, dont be shy to also grab a glass of milk. ”
“ Ive only been here twice, but this place has definitely become my favorite restaurant. We got the heirloom tomatoes this time and they were the best Ive ever had. The French onion soup was exceptional, just like the last time I was here and the scallops were delicious! The only unfortunate thing is that they dont take reservations, but I definitely dont mind waiting outside for a little for this food! ”
“ Le Cafe is a surprising gem in Ithaca. The staff were really wonderful, helpful and cherry. I enjoyed an excellent steak with a wonderful tomato salad and homemade bread. One cant go wrong with Le Cafe CentDix. Its also fun to sit at the bar. ”
“ First time here meal was lovely. All the courses were excellent, service was great, wine list is simultaneously serious and affordable. Bravo. Bonus points for being so accommodating to my glutenfree situation. Not always an easy thing with French cuisine, but was no trouble at all here. Much appreciated, and well surely be back. ”
“ Across the menu, CentDix has outstanding food. By far, the steak for two is the best steak weve had in Ithaca. Meat is always cooked to perfection, and the layers of ingredients and flavors are finessed and let the ingredients shine. We especially enjoy the variety of appetizers every time we visit the assortment of dishes focused around seasonal ingredients is delightful and what we look forward to most about dining here. ”
“ We visited this French restaurant for an early Valentines celebration and faced a long 50minute wait. The warm lighting and decent wine selection set a welcoming atmosphere, earning the decor a 710. Service was impressive, with a knowledgeable server, deserving an 810. Our meal journey began with entrees fennel slices at 610, beef tartare with a strong capers flavor at 710, and an overly salty onion soup gratinee at 610. The main courses were a hit or miss, with the monkfish and mashed potato standing out at 810, while the duck confit was too salty, scoring a 610. The meal concluded with a decent almond cake, rated 610. In summary, the ambiance and service were highlights. Its worth another visit. ”
