Cozy Finger Lakes eatery serves hearty homemade breakfasts and lunches
When you walk into the cozy Finger Lakes restaurant called Here, a chalkboard sign over the counter pretty much sums up the ethos: "Welcome! You made it from way over there to here. Everything is housemade (even the hot sauces, breads, hot cocoa mix, et al). Relax, grab some local cawf and eat deliciously." The almost three-year-old restaurant is the creation of Jen Irwin and Stan Walton, life partners for the past 35 years. They owned Just a Taste, a popular tapas restaurant in Ithaca, from 1994 until they sold it in 2019. Their plan was to retire, which they did through the COVID-19 years. "And then we got bored," Irwin said. That led to them opening Here, a cozy spot that seats 14 people inside, with 15 picnic tables around the property outside. It serves hearty breakfast and lunch fare, with a new menu published each week. Generally you'll find breakfast items like French toast, breakfast sandwiches, a spicy scramble, huevos rancheros and biscuits with gravy. Among the more unique breakfast dishes are a smoked bologna and egg sandwich served on focaccia with Creole mayo, mustard, sauteed onions and cheddar, and smoked rainbow trout served with two eggs, focaccia
