Hairy Tonys - Cortland (NY)

5 /5 Hex Kleinmartin: We stopped for lunch, and the first thing that took my attention was the amazing historic building the restaurant was housed in. Once inside (note that theres a step up *right* at the door), theres a nautical theme that goes nicely with the raw, industrial brick of the building. The atmosphere was nice and calm, though I can imagine the place bustling with college students on a weekend evening. The seating layout is well-designed and comfortable, and toward the back there are bigger booths and a small raised area. The portion sizes were generous, and everything we tried was very good. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and our food and drinks arrived quickly. I left overstuffed!

5 /5 Rachel Van Alstine: Great food, friendly staff. The atmosphere reminds me of watching an episode of Cheers. The restaurant was full, so it was quite noisy, but we could still have a conversation. They were super packed and let us know before we sat down but our server still managed to make sure we had everything we needed with a steady stream of food coming out to the table. The menu is eclectic. It’s not often you see Shepard’s pie, calamari and pad Thai served in the same place. I had the black bean avocado salad and hubby had the Shepard pie. Had a savory grilled cheese bite as an appetizer. Great food! Definitely eat here!

5 /5 Brian Murphy RE Broker - Acropolis: Met up with some friends for dinner at this place in Cortland. Great atmosphere, crowded on a Saturday evening. Appetizers we had fried calamari and the brussel sprouts. Both delicious. Sprouts were covered with cranberry pine nut and blue cheese. Yum. Dinner was tacos. Cod and grouper. Fish was light and flaky. Flavorful. Dessert white chocolate macadamia nut cheesecake. Surprisingly light and delicious. Highly recommend. We’ll be back!

5 /5 Hannah MacIntosh: Wow, this place is a treasure! The menu has many gluten free and vegan options. The menu is clearly labeled as well. They even had a gf beer, which is a nice treat! I was so impressed by the sizable and VERY shareable portions. The food was delicious as well and service was attentive. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. We will be back!

5 /5 Renata B.: We stopped here for an impromptu dinner and it was such a great decision. The servers are so warm and friendly, the food is delicious and the space is such a nice cozy vibe!
