The Boatyard in Ithaca, New York, is a steak and seafood restaurant with Asian influences. Located right on the water, guests are encouraged to travel to the restaurant by land or by sea. Very few restaurants have a parking lot and a dock, and The Boatyard takes full advantage of its unique location.
The Boatyard menu is a classic American steak and seafood restaurant, but with several items that take on a distinctly Asian flavor profile. For starters, guests can order both steamed littleneck clams with shallots and garlic wine sauce, or a tuna tataki with Asian slaw, a soy reduction and cucumber cream. The go-to steak on the menu is the Maker's Mark sirloin, covered with a bourbon sauce and served with mashed potatoes and fresh veggies. Any fish option can be prepared miso-glazed, blackened, with mango salsa or southwest style.
