Moosewood Although the menu is small, it changes from day to day and all the food is made fresh. It is a great place to go for a vegetarian mean. It is locally owned and run and the food is very tasty and reasonably priced.
Blah blah BLAND – One of the most well-known vegetarian places in the country? Get out of town. I can taste much better vegetarian food at home. The food here is bland and unexceptional. For a place as legendary as Moosewood's, I would've expected the food to at least be able to live up to its reputation. Unfortunately, it fell way short of it. Save your money, and cook at home!
Classic Ithaca Dining – What strikes me the most when I dine at Moosewood is the local gatherings that occur. Despite the price (which for me seems to be a little too steep for 'casual' dining), locals seem to come out on all days to enjoy a quick salad, hearty soup, or even just to relax at the bar while some local musician performers for the diners. Their presence makes me believe that there must be something special about Moosewood, and I always come back for more to become a part of the atmosphere. Of course, the food is... read more
Worth a Trip – Although the menu is limited it is amazing! Something for everybody. If the weather is good try to sit outside. Definately worth a trip
Wonderful vegetarian restaurant! This is the famous restaurant that has numerous cook books, foods, and other licensing products! You enter the restaurant through the basement of the Dewitt floor. There are areas to sit inside and a small area outside to sit if the weather is nice. Sometimes the wait can be a little long and the waitstaff can be a little sparse at times. However, the food more than makes up for it. It is all vegetarian, but they can do amazing things with non vegetarian items, but even my meat loving husbadn... read more
Deserves it's fine reputation The Moosewood Restaurant makes a fine Mediterranean Salad (my favorite item on the menu) and I love their House Spinach-Basil dressing. Many other good dishes, too! But, you probably won't be happy here if you are a meat and potatoes kind of guy, unless you also happen to be somewhat adventurous. The desserts are scrumptious and generous. Expensive by Ithaca standards but not by most. As they seat people on a first-come first-served basis, there is sometimes a long wait. A bonus is that you can ... read more
Small menu, big taste – I had heard many wonderful things about Moosewood so I decided to try it. First of all, though tiny, the decor is really nice. The restaurant even sells Moosewood merchandise. We were promptly seated by a friendly host and waited on by an attentive waiter. However, I must express my disappointment over the menu size. There were about four main courses to choose from. It's not a place for a picky eater. The drink menu (which was impressive, I admit) was three times the size of the food menu. I had salm... read more
Vegetarian Delight – Whether you're a vegetarian or a card carrying carnivore, you're sure to enjoy a meal from Moosewood. All of the food is great, but the soups - specifically the cream of esparagus and the sweet potato - along with the salads are renowned enough to warrant pilgrimages and a popular published cookbook. Also try the burritos, the chili with cornbread and the vegan chocolate cake.
Wow! – People come to this restaurant from all over the world with their own expectations based on the restaurant's infamous vegetarian cookbooks. The only people I've ever met who did not like their Moosewood experience really didn't give it a fair shot. Don't be disappointed by the small menu--it changes twice daily! And the drink list is extremely extensive and classy. The food is always fresh and tasty, with undisputeably the best salads you will find anywhere in town. The wait staff is friendly and they all work togethe... read more
