Dining-in or outdoor seating are currently not available at Just A Taste but curbside pick-up via online is. The street was closed and parking was really bad around the area. We tried their Braised Duck Leg, Bourbon Banana Breadpudding and Shortrib Entree with reasonable price $50 (+tax and tip). We assigned pick up at a specific time and the service was helpful by sending a reminding text. The food was amazingly tasty especially the Bourbon Banana Breadpudding which was soft, creamy and melted in our mouth immediately. The duck leg was also flavorful and tender with appetizing onion & olive. However, the portion of Shortrib Entree was small and not enough for my husband. The order didn’t come with plastic utensils and napkins which was eco friendly but they should’ve let customers know in advance.

I liked the food but the wine and dessert was just ok. Since the owner asked what is ok i will tell the reason. I ordered chocolate soufflé for dessert. When i got the dish. The chocolate was cold and i could tell they just bought the brownies and put chocolate syrup underneath(if i am wrong I’m sorry but still cold soufflé is bad). For the wines. It’s really depends on the personal taste. Just not good for me. I didn’t say it was bad. I said just ok it means not good or bad.

Both chocolate lava and deep fried potato wedges with chipotle sauce were superb! The service is also pleasant. Be prepared to wait to be seated if you come here during dinner time though.

A lot of small plates to choose from, but the quantity is not that great. Usually very crowded, and has long wait times. Has a good selection of wines and beer. The service is adequate and could definitely be improved.

Causal tapas place in downtown Ithaca. The dishes were all good. I'd especially recommend the savoury bread pudding with cheddar and the gratin with gruyere and broccoli. Some of the reviewers sound like they're expecting fine dining here - it's not that; it's solid casual food with a huge variety of dishes.

Always a delightful experience. The food is always on point. The wait staff members are always helpful and accommodating.

Pretty decent tapas and good tasting options. Was pretty packed on a Monday night when we visited so assuming it's popular with locals in Ithaca.

The food is always on point. Great place to share food with adventurous friends or that special someone; )
