Price: Expensive•American•4(514)P.J. Clarke's at Tioga Downs Casino Resort is a little taste of the big apple with an upstate, New York small town charm combined with a Resort full of fun. Although the restaurant is fairly new at Tioga Downs Casino Resort, the name P.J. Clarke's is a legend in New York. So in the original P.J. Clarke's words we're serving up "Fresh food, frosty drinks and good, old-fashioned conversation." P.J. Clarke's is know for their delicious burgers, such as our Cadillac Burger (double smoked country bacon, onion, American cheese, and bread & butter pickle) but we are not your average burger joint. Add in a full fresh Raw Bar with the best seafood in town and a master at shucking, the best Maryland Crab cakes, to die for French Onion Soup, Juicy USDA grass fed steaks, and much more!

We also took advantage of the bartender creating a pair of mocktails, one of which was the best I have ever had.

- BBrianCincinnati / Dayton •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoYou must put this on your list. Easy walk from The Marriott downtown. The food was as if I stepped back into Florence. The service impeccable. Sean was our server and his recommendations were spot on. My only regret is that I had not experienced Gola before on my frequent trips to Ithaca. I know now where to entertain my business partners for all my future trips to Ithaca.More infoGola OsteriaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Ithaca•4.5
