11. Simeon's American Bistro
Offers a unique blend of comfort and sophistication in a bistro-style setting

Simeon’s American Bistro There are some restaurants in Ithaca where you go to eat and others where you enjoy the experience. Simeon allows you to do both! Simeon's is conveniently located around the corner from The Commons in Ithaca. The location allows for plenty of natural light in the dining room during the day and plenty of activity in The Commons at night. The light and windows contrast with the dark wood paneling, giving the decor a vintage feel. There are some tables outside and you should eat outside if the weather permits; The Commons is a popular place for people-watching. The menu is short but varied enough to suit all diets and price ranges. The menu also offers a good mix of familiar favorites and new dishes to try. Likewise, they have several nightly specialties, such as braised halibut. Simeon's also serves a great selection of local wines by the glass, so if you want to try something without having to drive to the winery, this is a great option. Address: 224 E State St, Ithaca, NY 14850, United States
