Maybe it was an off-night; I don't know because I will not return. No alcohol because someone didn't renew license in time, but we weren't told this when making reservation. This is an expensive restaurant so it was hard to get past paper tablecloths, bread being stacked on the paper, appetizers on serving dishes but no personal dishes, chocolate mousse... more

Went on a recommendation from a local, on a Monday, and had a very good meal and overall experience. Have been to the area many times over the years but hadn't heard of Dijon. My business associate and I tried it and both gave it thumbs up. Moderate to upper mid-prices but portions were large. Chef definitely knows what he's... more

My husband and I were on a mission- to have lunch and check out the place for a wedding rehearsal dinner. We were warned by our future son-in-law (who hails from Dublin and his dad is hosting the event) that it was in a strip mall near the DMV. When we walked in, we looked at each other, wondering. With... more

The food is pretty good. The beef bourginon and frisee salad are awesome. The service is slow, but not because they're understaffed, i.e., eating is a languid experience in the french style. more

Located in a little strip-style mall, but worth the visit. Good bistro fare with some flair too. Knowledgable wait staff. more

My wife and I are always interested in dining at up and coming restaurants in the Ithaca area. We have been watching the reviews of Dijon over the past several months and decided to give it a try today. I deeply regret the experience. We arrived for lunch and the restaurant was pretty full, 2 - 3 tables empty and... more

Like me, you may have your doubts about Cafe Dijon as you pull into the off-the-beaten-path mall where it is located, but believe me, if you make it in the door, like another person said, you really do leave the world behind. The ambiance is classy, intimate and elegant, and the food is fantastic- generous portions, refined flavors, nice presentation.... more

I have to second the emotion of Robinella. Her description of the restaurant is excellent. For anyone who loves France, Dijon is a welcome addition to the Ithaca restaurant scene. Strange that the fries should have such an impact, given the other things available there, but it's true. We often order them to go, literally JUST picking up fries. The... more

The Dijon is quite good and in fact the chicken is excellent and salad is also great. It is pricey amd is in poor location, but we enjoyed the meals we have had there. I have to defend them as we had good service and the quality of food has been good. more

The first time we attempted to show up, they turned us away because they were too busy (despite the fact that only 4 tables were filled). We should have taken the cue that they were awful, because when we returned we found the service to be unworthy of the price and the food to be unfit for consumption. Both the... more
