Well, life got crazy there for a while and I was not a great blogger. I hope to be better!
I'll start with a restaurant review for our fellow Ithacans.
We went to Delilah's with some friends a couple of nights ago. Delilah's used to be Wildfire. They changed the name and revamped the restaurant to reflect a Southern/Creole theme.
Overall I would say it was a good restaurant. Although I clearly ordered the wrong dish! On the waitresses recommendation I ordered the fried chicken, which was overcooked. The skin was too crunchy and the chicken inside was dry.
However, the appetizers we ordered were fantastic. We had the fried green tomatoes and the day's special tuna with buckwheat noodles. The fried green tomatoes were served with a crispy coating that was deliciously seasoned and also came with a fabulous balsamic sauce. The tuna was perfectly cooked and tender.
My husband had crab-encrusted red snapper, which was very fresh and delicious.
Delilah's is also trying to establish a reputation for their gourmet cupcakes, which I have to say were a bit of a disappointment. The cupcakes were moist but quite heavy and the flavors were prosaic.
Overall, I would try it again, the cuisine definitely had brilliant spots and the pricing was less than many of the other gourmet restaurants in town (about $12-18 a plate).
