Reviews for Mahogany Grill in Ithaca, NY
Fantastic gnocchi made in house. Fries were crispy, salty, and hot.. just perfect! Outdoor seating is nice on a day with good... weather. Staff were friendly and helpful and food was ready quickly. Read more
Nice restaurant, good atmosphere. Burger was good but skip the filet mignon. Beer was good too. Street parking is limited... however 1 block away is a parking structure available for a fee. Read more
Best meal we had all week. Steak was juicy and doneness was as I asked. Scallops were done well and tasted fresh. Potatoes were... tasty. And the dessert was good too. Read more
We were in town for the weekend and heard good things about this place. The cocktails were just meh. The Garlic Cheesy Bread was... a really good appetizer to start with. The beef short rib was really good but the shrimp scampi didn’t live up to the hype.The Bolognese was a good choice that our waiter Sophia recommended. Service here was very good and quick. Read more

I stumbled across this place while trying to find an Italian restaurant. We had called ahead to inquire about a reservation and... was told that nothing was available until late but that the outdoor patio was fcfs. When we showed up the patio was full butthey had tables available inside. A little confusing based on what we were previously told but good news regardless. Themajority of the inside was empty so we got a nice big booth. We started with an order of calamari and a couple salads. Thecalamari was nicely breaded and crispy, complete with fried cherry peppers and a tasty marinara sauce. For dinner I had thepenne alla vodka with shrimp and my gf got the chicken parm. The penne alla vodka was in my top 2, if not the best I've everhad. The shrimp was fresh and well cooked and the pasta to sauce ratio was perfect. The service was also exceptional. The wholerestaurant industry is suffering from a shortage of workers right now but you would never know it here. The staff was veryattentive and I haven't had service like this since covid began. My water glass was never even close to being empty and the foodcame out quick. Don't miss this hidden gem if you are in Ithaca. Read more
Was up in Ithaca and was surprised that so many places were closed on this particular Sunday. So we took our chances with some... of the places in the commons. We ended up at Mahogany Grill. Ordered the calamari, truffle fries, and French onion soup forappetizers. Calamari - hard to mess up and they didn’t fail, just wish the portion size was a little better. The truffle frieswere excellent and the mayo it’s served with tasted like it was blended with Parmesan or something to give it some additionaloomph. It was so truffle-y that it almost made you wonder exactly how they did that. The FOS was pretty flavorful but it had apretty strong oregano hit that you might not like if you’re a purist. For entrees, we got the beef stroganoff (full of meat,pearl onions, and mushrooms), the meatball spaghetti (totally lives up to its description - it’s massive), and the Mahoganyburger (ordered medium - arrived medium). It was slightly busy so a little slow on bringing us the milk for our coffee, butotherwise our waitress was on point and we had an excellent meal there. A word on the interior - it had kind of like a nice,weathered bar kind of vibe to it. There was plenty of seating out front. Bathrooms were clean. Would be happy to come again andtry some of their other offerings. Read more
I'm a huge fan of their braised beef short ribs and Faroe island salmon. The beef was tender and buttery. The salmon was... properly seared, asparagus was cooked well, mash was a bit grainy although the seasoning was good. Service was super awesometoo. The place is usually crowded, make sure to take a reservation before you go. Read more
