Damian's Ice House - Newfield Hamlet

Wow. We wandered in off the commons and had one of our best meals in Ithaca. Creative, outstanding cocktails started us off, then small plates, all of which were outstanding. The lotus root fritters were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside. Lamb and beef kebabs were perfectly spiced, and the beet salad with arugula was also excellent. The crispy duck (large plate) was half a duck, with crispy skin, succulent meat, and delicious chili sauce with pineapple. Service was outstanding even on a busy night. Oh, and dessert is not to be missed Mango cheesecake and Vietnamese coffee creme Brule ended the meal perfectly!

We have been coming here since October 2019, delicious food!

Nice place for mostly Indian inspired food. I have a hard time defining their cuisine. Many types of dishes are based on different curry sauces. The Mediterranean Sea Bass with yellow curry was very good.

Food was excellent. Drinks were good. Atmosphere was noisy and a little crowded.

The serving was unbelievably slow, we waited for an hour and a half and were only served two appetizers, a wontons and a chicken wing. Even the two glasses of water were served only after I personally asked the waiter for them 3 times in an hour and a half.
