The chefs at this cozy place, 11 miles northwest of Ithaca, source quality produce from local farmers to create dishes that have made this arguably the finest restaurant in the region. It's well worth opting for the four-course tasting menu (price varies), where the chefs will personally present each seasonally inspired dish.
