 (Ithaca, NY) The Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, June 20th at Fine Line Bistro. This exciting new restaurant is located at 404 West State Street in downtown Ithaca. The event will begin at 1:00 PM.
Fine Line Bistro, Ithaca’s newest fine dining experience, is the end result of the combined creativity of Seth Gregory (Chef) and Danny Doyle (General Manager). Their goal was to create a non-pretentious, transparent environment in which to dine. The open kitchen allows for the diner to see up close and personal the work being done to their food. The menu, entirely chef driven, is best described as eclectic fusion. It combines traditional styles of French and Italian cuisine with newer flavors and unique interpretations on the classics.
Chef Seth Gregory was born and raised in Alfred, NY and began working in kitchens at the age of 16. Seth moved to Ithaca in 2003 and gained an array of experience working as the sous chef at Pangea in Ithaca. No formal training to speak of, Seth is naturally talented and has a way of enticing the palate with flavor combinations not normally thought of. He is continuously introducing new and different dishes and flavors in the restaurant.
Danny Doyle, the general manager of everything outside of the kitchen, grew up in northern New Jersey and found his way to the Finger Lakes via Hobart College where he earned a degree in design. Upon graduation, Danny moved to Ithaca to help friends with their start-up restaurant. Since that time, Danny has held a number of different positions in the local restaurant industry.
Fine Line Bistro starts serving drinks at 4:00 PM while food service begins at 5:00 PM and continues through midnight and sometimes later. They are closed on Tuesdays.
