Cook House Dining Room - Ithaca

Great food, great community, miss my college days and live here. Had dinner with some amazing professors, celebrities, industry pioneers and friends here. An open and supportive community for all. I love Cornell.

Unknown to most, this college meal is open to all. All you can eat under $15.00, open 5pm-9pm. Food varies from day to day, but is of high quality.

If you like variety, you are better at North Campus restaurants, cooking food does not have so many options, but it has a homelike feeling and good ambience.

Great food and good service. Best marinated Tofu on campus!

I like this dining hall! The hall is beautifully decorated with lots of colorful flags. So, it gives a really pleasant first impression. This is my first time here and I found the quality of both and desserts really impressive. The choice is limited, but they are tasty and pretty healthy. The arugula salad with pickled red onions and cheery tomatoes was sooo good in its own that I didn't even need salad dressing. Sourdough bread was a farmer-market-level high quality one. The whipping cream feels like it's made of real milk and the chocolate cake didn't feel too sugary. They seem to be attentive at providing vegan food (and desserts . But I didn't see much variety eg. no Kosher/Halal/Asian/Middle Eastern food. (But so far I have only been there once so I don't know how the selection will be in other days! Ps. There was a tiny stage in this dining hall. There was a drum performance on the day I visited it. That's interesting! It's great if you like this sort of thing. But no so good if you prefer quietness during meal time.
