============================
We have cooked out of several of the Moosewood cookbooks for years.  We
put it onto our *must* visit places for during the echo picnic.  We were
certainly not disappointed.  As you all know, all of us are normally
meat eaters.

We had a party of five, including several people who would have been
unable to stand for extended periods of time.  We called ahead, and when
informed of this were told that they would hold a table for us if we
could get there in 20 minutes.  So we all loaded into my car and headed
there.  I dropped the others at the door, and then managed to find an
on-street parking.  There is a parking garage nearby, but I lucked out
with on street parking.  The rest of them were seated, with drinks, when
I got there.

The first thing to know is that the menu changes daily.  They have four
entrees for dinner, and you can look them up on the web about 4 pm to
see what they are.  Gail had been doing that for weeks, and most days
there would be something there that she knew she would enjoy.  This day
had several good choices for us.

The menu choices of the group were:

fish which had a very nice coating,

lasagna with broccoli rabe,

mapo tofu which was a Thai stir fry, plenty of hot spices.

Everyone pronounced their choice of dish to be very good.  We shared
tastes, and all three dishes tasted quite good to me.  The stir fry tofu
might be too hot for some, but seemed just right for Nancy.

There was a tomato and garlic cream soup that was also quite good.

Desserts were ordered by some, and included a fudge brownie, a vegan
chocolate cake and a cheesecake.  

The group had a variety of drinks.  I had a IPA by a local brewery,
others had a selection of alcohol and non-alcohol, including ginger
beer.

Total food and drink bill for the group of five was $125 plus tax and
tip.

If we lived in Ithaca, we would return occasionally -- depending on the
menu choices of the day.
