Mix Social Dining - Ithaca

While there were some positives to Mix, we are unlikely to return. The crab cakes appetizer was good and they are committed to serving vegan diners. However, the Thai soup was not impressive and could be easily made at home with better quality. The vegetables were overcooked and the Daikon was unrecognizable. The prices are higher than they should be for Ithaca NY and the decor is a bit outdated. There are better options in town for vegans, but it might be an okay choice for a group with both vegans and meat eaters.

The restaurant's website menu advertised more vegan options than were actually available on the physical menu. There was no vegan amuse bouche offered, while the omnivores received a large plate of Pao de Queijo. Despite this, the service and quality of the food were excellent, and the cocktails were delicious. It was disappointing that there weren't more opportunities for vegans to enjoy the chef's imaginative dishes. It is recommended to call ahead to confirm available vegan options.

Sourdough French toast with bananas and cinnamon was delicious.

The vegan crab cakes and wok fried cauliflower at this restaurant were amazing. My non-vegan family members even enjoyed them. I also tried their vegan Thai noodles with marinated crispy tofu, and I couldn't get enough of it. I wish I knew the secret of their marinade because it was delicious.

The Vegan breakfast options of French Toast with warm glazed apples and card cake Benedict with oatmeal were so so good. Exceeded every expectation and will certainly be a repeat customer. Highly recommend for breakfast
