Restaurants in Syracuse

“My wife and I went there for the first time last night for her birthday dinner after wanting to check it out for quite sometime. I must say we were very impressed with the welcoming atmosphere of both the staff and the patrons. The food was amazing and we look forward to going back soon.”

“Decent place if you are craving for Bar-B-Que.I had ordered the hot wings and the Pork Rib .The Wings were juicy and spicy and had a hot rub in it ..The Ribs were also good but little on the dry side.The Mac n cheese was really dry but the cole slaw was good as side .The Corn bread was also on the dry sideAlso had a draft beer to enjoy the wings.My daughter tried the chicken sandwich and it was juicy and softThere is enough parking opposite to the restaurant and the place was a bit louder which is good and bad in which ever way you want to see it :)”

“Amazing food. Service was outstanding too. Prices were very affordable, imo… Especially for the quality food and service. Great place! Thursdays they have gnocchi (some of the best I have tasted) make sure to get yourself a bottle of the Masi wine! ?”

“I got the special, a 16 oz Prime NY Strip, and it was the best steak I’ve ever had! The service was excellent, and the honey butter was the highlight of my evening. Couldn’t recommend more!”

“Always a great experience! My husband and I don't get out on as many dates as we would like to, but when we do get the chance we almost always choose Eden. Food and service is always wonderful. I'm pregnant, and they made me a delicious off the menu mocktail!”

“It’s consistently rated the best restaurant in Syracuse, and there’s a pretty good reason: it’s really, really good. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is nice, and the food is delicious.For the quality of food you receive, it’s also shockingly affordable. 2 entrees, 2 alcoholic beverages, and an appetizer was about $75.00.I would say that’s a pretty great deal for one of the best places around.”

“Everything was absolutely delicious, portions were sized ok, prices were slightly high, but expected. Absolutely will be visiting again, just on a special occasion next time.”

“I previously made a review that I was unsatisfactory with my experience and I have to say after going back I definitely have changed my mind. I was promptly asked about my not so great experience and they made it right. The food was amazing as it was the first time but service this time was perfect and attentive. This is officially on our list to make a reservation at every time we are in town. Love this place! Thank you pastabilities crew for everything”

“Let's start with the atmosphere here. Beautiful lighting and non wobbly tables....great start. It's intimate....not small, but intimate. The service is.....pretty, pretty, pret-ty good. Seriously tho - tag team waitstaff is smart too the guest is never ledt looking for their waiter or waitress. And the food .... it is some of the best damn food in the greater Syracuse area. Best wings I've had in a few years folks and the specials are always changing and if you don't try it here, I can't be your friend and don't read my reviews anymore. Run. Don't walk to TDH Tavern. Had to wheel me out last time....damn!”

“I lived in Syracuse over a decade ago and I make sure to make a visit to Riley’s each time I make a visit back. The variety of the menu choices is great, flavors are always fresh, and the numbers of desserts are fantastic. It’s a must go!”

“We stopped in for the first time and were not disappointed! We grabbed a spot at the bar and were served immediately. El Tapache Loco was one of the best sours I've had in a long time! Thank you all!”

“If you’re looking for old school Italian dishes you need to visit Joey’s Italian Restaurant! We started with the calamari steak. It was incredibly delicious and cooked to perfection. We then had the tortellini carbonara which was amazing, and large enough to feed 2 people and we still brought home leftovers. Table-side Caesar salad made for a fun presentation. You won’t regret checking this place out! Our waitress Adeana was so attentive and personable.”

“Went out with a group of 6, all of us trying the place for our first time and we had such a great experience! The food, the service, even a special gift at the end! We loved it and will be back. I had the chicken charms sandwich and it was not your average sandwich- highly recommend.”

“Excellent food my steak was phenomenal. My wife's prime rib was excellent. She loved it. The dessert was all homemade you couldn't ask for anything better and the service was excellent and we would definitely go back again.”

“Hosted a professional Networking Part here for a local group. Maria and her staff were wonderful, they made everything so easy. The private event space is so spacious with a mix of high tops and tables. Food was wonderful and everything was seamless. We can't wait for next year to have our event here again!”

“Their scallop roll is a must try. I got the spicy one which has a kick but is very tolerable in my opinion. It was amazing. Added on a side of Mac salad too. I've gotta catch their happy hour deals one of these days!”

“Went to the cider mill for the first time and had a great experience. I'm not usually an appetizer person but I like bread before my meal. You have to pay extra for the bread but I would not skip out! The focaccia was delicious and flavorful and I liked the tomato oil it came with. The apple cider donut was amazing as well. Overall great food and service.”

“This was the first time we ordered food for pickup... and I had the veggie bowl and ot was so delicious ? and the summer roll that is made with veggie and shrimp and it comes with peanut sauce so so delicious ? I will definitely going back to try other veggie dishes they have ...”

“Overall have good things to say, our server was pleasant and attentive. Beer was decent. My only complaint here is the food price for what you get. I got a chicken sandwich (it was tasty) with two beers and it was 50 bucks, and I was hungry 1hr later. Given that price tag there are a lot of places I'd prolly go before here. (20% was included in $50)”

“This restaurant is amazing. Staff is wonderful. Food is hot and delicious - just full of flavor. What a treat!! Love the plate warmers and the little robot that delivers your food. Everything about this place is great!”

“Huge selection of really good beers. They definitely know what they're doing here because even the strongest beers are smooth and they're all (that I tried) are really well done.Edit: I came back again for their "Bearded Tears" release party and got some food, too. First of, all the Bearded Tears (the strong ones) are excellent. I've tried 12 different beers/varieties here now and nothing isn't delicious. Second, I got a couple food menu items and they're also pretty tasty and were ready quickly. Couldn't be happier with this place.”

“Every time I've been here, it's been Eh.What you're paying for vs. what you're getting does not match.The portions are small and quality is just OK. I could see getting the same meal the Pastabilities and getting double the portion for a few dollars less. Also, dining experience and level of menu knowledge at other restaurants in the area is much higher elsewhere - for the price you're paying. I want to love it, honestly.Reservations: Getting a reservation would be made a lot easier if they would open up an online option - it's a hassle to have to wait to speak with a human.Experience: We went at 5pm on a Saturday night. My sister and I both ordered salad entrees that were about $26. Mine came on a side bowl/plate and was an extremely small portion. We both ordered salmon and each piece of salmon was a different color. Mine was white/very light pink and my sisters was very pink and fresh looking. I almost mistook mine for chicken before cutting into it. Not the end of the world as I understand appearance can vary from fish to fish - just seemed a little 'fishy' (off).Service was OK - nothing to shake a stick at. Basic and nothing over the top.Ambiance was eh. There appeared to be Top 40's playing the entire time we were there, which was odd being it was a Saturday night.Overall, just Ok. I had a gift card that I actually forgot for this visit (gah!) so will probably just give it away or order take-out.”

“This was a real treat to have dinner here. The service was excellent and extremely professional. The ambiance is beautiful. The food was excellent from the appetizer which was a lobster dip with rice chips to dinner with steaks and dessert of a strawberry cake with real strawberries. The only downfall is the price. Be prepared to pay for the excellent service and very good and distinctive taste. 2 people, where we had two drinks apiece and split a dessert. $220 before the tip. It was a treat since it is a unique place but I don't think it's a place I could go to more than a couple times a year.”

“Awesome food truck! had them today at Skaneatelles brewing. Very good quality food and tasted amazing. Big portions for a good price. Staff also super friendly. highly recommend them. 10/10”

“went here for a belated birthday dinner and knew nothing about kpot the staff was wonderful! My husband and i got a tour of the buffet,now the food? freaking DELICIOUS! we ate like pigs lol The miso soup base does not dissapoint! Two new fans we WILL be back!”

“New menu is awesome! A ton of great options for everyone and very reasonable price point. I love a deal! Staff is always quick and attentive. Brunch is the best on the East Side. Joe, Randy and Laura are crushing it!!”

“This is a phenomenal venue for a bridal shower. My bridal shower was held there in April 2023. The staff was exceptional, making sure all of our guests had drinks, waters, coffee or anything they may need. Asking for my opinions on timing of cake, food, etc. The food was perfect particularly the lemon chicken, even gave us to go boxes at the end. They were flexible with accommodating some changes to their lunch menu as well that we requested. The rooms are well decorated, beautiful mirrors, greenery and exposed brick. Leaving for very little additional decor needing to be brought. We focused on centerpieces and some signage.We were not rushed out at the end while they were cleaning up. They welcomed my fiancé by his first name when he arrived showing that they pay attention to every detail. Even found a surprise gift from them amongst my gifts at the end! If you are looking for a venue for bridal shower I would highly recommend! Thanks for making my day perfect!”

“We went for a cocktail/food pairing and it was AMAZING!! Chef Kiki nailed it!! The food was some of the best I have ever had! We will definitely be back to try new things.”

“our waiter was amazing and funny, even at the end of a long night, and the food was so fresh and amazing! not to mention the mocktail an aloha mini combo and cajun fries split between my boyfriend and I left us absolutely stuffed and happy :D thank you!!”

“1st time ever having Korean food and it was AMAZING. It was sooo savory! Our waitress “Yummy” was sooo friendly and kind…she made us feel like family! We will be going back and I now have a new favorite restaurant!”

“Love, love, LOVE this friendly restaurant/bar with fab bartenders and friendly patrons! Everyone embraces you the minute you walk in, so you can immediately engage with others!!! It's my new "go to" bar!”

“We had such an amazing experience at dinner. We were celebrating my friends sons birthday and Wendy went above and beyond. If I could give Wendy more than 5 stars I would. We will specifically be asking for her any time we come back.Plus the food is great. The pineapple coconut ice cream is ?Kid-friendliness: They made his birthday dinner amazing. They took the time to sing and bring a sparkler”

“Fabulous experience. My first time here and it was great. Had all you can eat crab legs. They were hot every time and delicious. Service was on point. Can’t wait to be back!”

“so they are new our appetizer cam out last food came out in a really weird order but they are new and getting their legs that all said OMGOSH I ALMOST CRIED IT WAS SO GOOD kfc bun great but please less sauce the spicy pork dim sum dumplings almost brought tears to my eyes the beef and scallion pancake was almost perfect-all sauces on the side but I left very happy”

“We ordered catering for a holiday party from here and everything about our experience was incredible. From the initial phone call with Lisa when she patiently answered my million questions, took the order and emailed the invoice, I knew we made the right choice. The food was delivered at the time we planned by three people who carried it into our house and happily offered to set up the pans with sternos. They were quick, professional and friendly. The food was incredible. We ordered half pans of carnitas and chicken with peppers and onions, yellow rice and black beans. Tortillas, tortilla chips, pico, queso and guac completed our order. Several guests couldn’t make it due to being sick (tis the season) so we had a lot of leftovers which I am enjoying as I write this. The food was a huge hit with our friends and already on the list for next year’s annual party. 100% recommend ordering from this incredibly professional, kind and talented local business. You will not regret it!!Kid-friendliness: When we’ve eaten here our four year old will get a half size quesadilla with cheese!”

“My favorite experience and meal in Syracuse! First off our waitress was amazing, the atmosphere was perfect, and our food was to die for. Definitely worth the visit! Make sure to save room for the dessert there! ?”

“An unexpectedly amazing place!! Got really good sashimis, very fresh. We ended up paying about 35 per person which is a very good deal. The only downside is the service, they don't have enough staff during evening hours it seems, we waited a long time for someone to pay attention to us to bring bills and stuff. Also, they bring us the bill with 18% tips already added which is not nice, we are only 4 people. I had to ask to write the tip myself and they've let me. The ambiance is a bit poor, furnitures seem old. But still, very very good food.”

“We went with our friends a few weeks ago. 2nd visit and will have many more. We ordered 2 full boards and a half. Waaay tooo much food for 5 people! Needless to say food was brought home. Highly recommend!”

“Hand's down the Best tasting Pizza Syracuse NY can offer so fresh and hot when it arrives just like a New York pizzeria. Don't delay order today you won't be disappointed.”

“What a great place! You walk in a get a classy impression with down-to-earth, friendly staff that strives to make you feel welcomed from the first moment. The motif is arts and crafts with accents of modern industrial. The ambiance is perfect. The menu is strategically perfect with great execution. Great wine selection that won’t leave anyone disappointed. We started with some appetizers: Shrimp bao buns with sriracha mayo and seared scallops with caper-honey sauce. Wow. Then for entrees, we had the short ribs with mushroom risotto - which we think is the best entree of them all. Also we had the cioppino. Very Delicious. I would have only asked for more toast to continue to soak up all the remaining tomato broth! It’s that good. Finally, the desserts are a must. They have flights of homemade desserts that gives you the opportunity to try a little of everything. Great for the ones that can’t decide. Our flight had the the flourless chocolate fudge, the carrot cake and my favorite, the cheesecake! Treat yourself and enjoy the hospitality of Natalie and Joel!”

“Tacos were really good especially the shrimp with the green sauce on top and the red sauce under the shrimp. Good guacamole. Service was attentive and vibe was cool with throw back music.”

“Chelsea’s is a fun place to spend time with dear friends and have some laughs. Food is great and service amazing. It’s nice to have a family owned restaurant! Marty and Dave have made this a special place.”

“Great beer selection including some pretty obscure stouts that id never had before, great lamb burger and $10 bottles of wine during happy hour. Solid choice for beer lovers in Albany.”

“Finding a restaurant that offers authentic Chinese cuisine with the right spice level can be a delightful experience for those who prefer the traditional flavors and heat. It's interesting to note that the preference for spiciness in food can vary greatly from region to region in China, with some areas favoring extremely hot dishes. This regional diversity is part of what makes Chinese cuisine so rich and fascinating. For those who enjoy the fiery kick in their meals, a restaurant that doesn't shy away from authentic spice levels offers a taste of true Chinese culinary traditions. It's always a pleasure to discover such places that cater to a more diverse palate, providing an experience that's both culturally genuine and personally satisfying.”

“I had a vegan burrito and a margarita and both were delicious. We were seated somewhat near the bar so it was pretty loud. Otherwise, there was a fun décor and the service was solid. I will be going back.Vegetarian options: They have both a vegetarian and vegan section of the menu. No tofu though!”

“Every time I come in I am greeted with a beautiful smile cheek to cheek and taken care of immediately especially by Lindsey! The customer service and energy made me want to come not even just for the food but because the magic of how contagious the positive energy is. Perfect place to go! Why are you waiting? ?”

“Decent place, got a lot of hype but ended up feeling just a bit better than most diners to me. We had tried coming once a few years back when visiting cuse but the brunch line was insane. This time we hit it for lunch and it was almost empty. The short rib patty melt was delicious. Matt fries were ok. Again, not bad at all, and price point was pretty solid.”

“We have never been to Sakana-ya. We loved the food the conveyor belt. We were greeted by a girl but weren't explained exactly how stuff worked we just kind of wung it. Amazing Price and Great Sushi, if don't see something ask and they will make it.”

“After several years of having no Thai restaurant to call our own, I think we finally found our place. The food was amazing, the service was prompt and very friendly and engaging. I was warned when I ordered the hot (their spice levels are mild, medium, hot, and Thai hot, and I'm not doing Thai hot ever again, IYKYK). We had a great conversation with our server about the spice level and the food quality. I told her I came here for the heat and to let me have it. There's just something about Thai spice that compliments the dishes so well, it's why I love Thai cuisine so much when done right. Can I just tell you how happy this food made us? When we lost our local Thai place, it was like there was a death in the family. This was like seeing an old friend again. I ordered panang curry with chicken and Julie ordered a mango cashew stir fry. Wow. Both dishes were amazing. The flavors were so pronounced, the veggies were so fresh. It hit all the buttons. And just like the place we used to frequent, the heat was perfect. It was about 8 star heat for those of you who frequented Thai rose. I told my server when she brought it out I was quite excited to be able the see the heat in my dish with all the red speckles in it. We can't wait to return and explore the rest of the menu, very highly recommended.”

“It was cool to run into Norma my dated sisters best friend. Good place to go great beers and great folks.Wheelchair accessibility: Watched a brother in a wheelchair come to the bar and ask for his favorite and everyone told him see you tomorrow so he must be a regular.”

“Barn on the Farm is awesome. The inside of the barn is spacious and seating is picnic bench style. They gave a few tables outside as well. It's a really simple but nice layout.You order at the bar and they will give you a number to bring to where you seat yourself.My wife and I had a lovely dinner after apple picking. We both had burgers and they were cooked to perfection. Juicy and tasty made exactly to our preferred order. The French Fries were a surprise star though, gently crisped, perfectly seasoned and simply scrumptious. We also got to try their roasted vegetables and they were extremely well done! Everything in our order was great! I highly recommend making a visit to Barn on the Farm. Enjoy!!*They do not have fountain water, so all water is bottled and costs 2 dollars.”

“When time permits, I love this 'greasy spoon' for a delicious burger and fries. Wait time is very reasonable, burgers are juicy and tasty staff is friendly and hospitable. I'm not a 'regular' patron, but my parents are, and most of the staff know me as 'Sheri's daughter'. When Mom passed away last month, there were 10 of us who popped in for some much needed comfort food and drinks. Tommys took good care of my family when we needed it the most. Thank you, to staff of Tommys.”

“We ate there a second time before the theater. Great staff, cool drink, good food. I wouldn’t mind if some of the seafood were not breaded but they breaded my shrimp there. The chocolate cookie dessert is to die for snd this is a rare restaurant that can make good cheesecake.”

“Very nice trendy atmosphere. The menu is intriguing and offer some Italian, and steaks and seafood. Eaten here twice so far and have not been disappointed. The bartenders do a great job with drinks and knowing the menu. The food portions are plentiful. It seems like you can go from spending under $20-$50 on food choices here for entrées.”

“The staff where very welcoming. My grandsons Birthday party was fantastic. The kids had a blast. Ty for being so accommodating. I would suggest it as a party place for toddlers and younger youths.”

“We've wanted to try this place for years, but it's never occurred to us during a Friday or Saturday, which are the only days they're open. Last Friday was one of those days we knew we needed to order out, but we were well on track to make a whole evening out of fretting over where to go. I don't know what it is, but sometimes absolutely nothing in the world sounds good. By some act of god, I remembered this place and our evening was saved. Their menu changes weekly, so we referred to their Facebook page for this week's options. I've only heard great things about them, so I had no question whatever we ordered would be good. No prices on their website, and money was definitely an issue on the eve of the St. Patrick's Day Parade, so we made kind of a flow chart in case pricing got crazy. Placing the order over the phone was difficult. They couldn't understand us, and they had to run every question by somebody else and get back to us. We ordered the jerk chicken and smothered pork combos, then threw in a pint of shrimp fried rice. I wish I could have tried everything; it was really tough coming to a decision. Cash only. I read so many reviews and everything they had online and didn't see this mentioned. Luckily I had just hit the ATM for the parade. The place is pretty small, take-out only. Easy parking, easy in and out. Everyone's super friendly. A lot of the appeal is how clearly they take pride in what they do. All around it just seems incredibly authentic and like nobody's cutting corners. So the food was great all around. We'd eaten garbage all week and were really going for that fresh, wholesome feeling, and they delivered in every way. The only hiccup was that they gave us Smothered Chicken (I think) instead of Smothered Pork. They labeled the box SP, but put the wrong thing in it. I was disappointed to see it because the pork was the first thing I knew for sure I wanted to get. Six seconds into the meal though, I truly didn't even care anymore. It was absolutely amazing. So tender it came right off the bone. It has to be the best I've ever felt about a chicken thigh entrée. I've only tried Jerk Chicken a few times, and mostly from a few Jamaican restaurants right here in town. I never really understood the point of it, like the taste just never amounted to anything I cared about. One bite of this one and it all made sense. Like, I now understand what they're going for with the flavor. Same perfectly tender chicken, and we absolutely loved the taste of both. We were curious about how the Shrimp Fried Rice would shake out with soul food, and it's definitely unique from Chinese takeout. Nowhere near as greasy, and it had a more savory, mildly smoky taste to it. No conflict with the beds of rice our entrées came on either. This wasn't our favorite fried rice, but it was good to have with our meals. My favorite side was the baked beans. Perfect texture, amazing taste. So soft and yet, so completely distinct. Didn't even know I could enjoy plain no-frills baked beans this much. The collard greens and yams were about average. I think for yams I'm used to a lot more butter and sugar than these ones had. Collard greens were just straightforward as well, no taste outside the greens themselves. Texture couldn't have been better though. Mac and cheese was good, but well past al dente. Super soft and didn't really pack enough flavor to make it top tier. The cornbread is standard issue - really soft and pretty dry with just the regular cornbread taste. I'd love to try some of the other things on the menu, but probably wouldn't for the price. There's nothing here I wouldn't be absolutely excited to have, but the experience wasn't profound enough to pull us back for $25 a plate.”

“Frank was our hot dog vendor at our carnival themed wedding yesterday and boy, was he a hit! Fantastic dogs served with a genuine kindness!!! Highly recommend Frank’s Franks to anyone hosting special events. Thank you SO much, Frank!!”

“During our stay at the Embassy Suites, my family and I dined at Salt City Eatery upon arriving late. Hotel dining experiences can be hit or miss, but this place is definitely a HIT! The food is not just delicious, it's exciting! The chef's passion and technical skills truly elevate the dishes and overall dining experience. With techniques like spherification adding a fun element to some dishes, dining here is a unique and delightful experience.On our first night, we enjoyed bruschetta, steak sirloin, caprese chicken, and chicken truffle pasta – all perfectly cooked, beautifully plated, and generously portioned. The meal was so good that we returned for dinner on our last night. This time, we tried the salmon and burger with truffle fries. The salmon was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful presentation and delightful flavors in every bite. The chef's creation of lemon butter caviar to complement the salmon was a truly memorable touch!It's a shame that the hotel doesn't promote the restaurant more because it truly is a hidden gem! This unexpected culinary experience added to our already wonderful stay at the Embassy Suites.”

“It was absolutely the best pizza I have had! The wings were amazing! All the hype was spot on! I will be a regular even though I do not live near there! The drive will be worth it! I only wish you were open earlier!”

“Was looking for a good place to have dinner with my family and glad we stumbled across this place! Our waitress tarrah was amazing! 10/10 will recommend and will be back!”

“We ordered a med. cheese and pepperoni pizza delivered and it was excellent. The crust was fresh and just the right amount of soft and crispy. All ingredients were delicious. Being from Buffalo NY we are lucky to have great pizzerias and the pie we had here rivaled the best we have had.”

“I highly recommend Mona Lisa’s! Service was excellent! We had the meatball riggies, chicken parm and Utica greens. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. It was cooked and prepared perfectly. Their red sauce is wonderful. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone!”

“I have been ordering from China Cafe for years!! This is easily my favorite place to go to for a quick and delicious meal. They are very family orient (most times you will see the kids at one of the tables or the family enjoying a meal together). This place is busy, but you would never notice. The deliveries are very quick.”

“A great place for a drink and conversation. The regulars are outgoing and friendly. They and the bar staff make you feel right at home. A neighborhood bar for sure, but very comfortable, and way better than any corporate bar on nearby Erie Blvd.”

“Our family has looked forward to our Easter meal at the Inn for the past several years. We were not disappointed with our Easter meal there today! Everything was delicious (as usual), filets were cooked perfectly as were the pork and lamb chops. Grandchildren enjoyed their pasta and all of us enjoyed the sides that were served. We can never leave the Inn without one of the many delicious dessert offerings. As I said before, the quality of their menu and preparation has never disappointed! The staff of the Inn are always friendly and accommodating to your needs! If you’ve never dined at The Inn of the Seasons, I highly encourage you to try it!”

“We hosted a private company party here and it was a HIT! The staff was incredible, kind, and made the party such a success! Honestly, I cannot compliment this bar enough. The atmosphere is so cool!”

“We enjoyed Mother's Day Brunch at Redfield's this morning and it was excellent. They offered a lovely spread of breakfast and lunch items, including an omelette station, french toast bake, fruit, salads, chicken, and incredible freshly baked desserts (truffles, cream pies, bars). Terri, our waitress, was attentive and pleasant and the manager watched over the whole operation carefully. We have gone to other brunches and nothing compares. Other places are crowded and just not very special. We will return to next year.”

“i’ve always loved the steaks but the quality seems not as good and more fatty i always have gotten the ribeye , This time it was really fatty and not a nice thick steak it was thin”

“My favorite bar to go to. I go out very seldom, but when I do this is exactly where I go. Very homey. Nice crowd. Not an uppity bar, very casual. Good prices! Bar tenders treat you like their own.”

“We were traveling and the weather was not good. We googled places to.eat near the airport in Syracuse. We thought we would try it, and we are very glad we did.When we first went in, it was chilly, and we got.a.table under a ceiling fan. We mentioned it to our server. She immediately turned it off and really warmed up the room.The food was some of the best Italian we have had in years and the service was outstanding. I strongly recommend it to anyone wanting a great place for Italian food in Syracuse.”

“Amazingly delicous, authentic Korean foods!! Four of us ordered four different dishes, but they all came out really fast. Very generous amount and great side dishes as well!! The owner is very sweet and kind. We’re not from local, but we would love to visit Syracuse just to visit here again!”

“The food was good. The meal deals are worth the price. The mac and cheese bowl was overpriced at $10 for what we got. The one employee made all of our sandwiches and was very polite. The lady behind the counter wasn't very nice. She wouldn't help the employee as she was building a charcuterie tray. She abruptly asked the employee to repeat the question that we asked him after he answered it, which came off as rude. We also asked for banana peppers on our paninis which she repeatedly told the employee was extra and had to be charged as so.The food was good, as I said, but the service was ok. The food shop that they have is nice, and a little bit of everything: Utica sauces, specialty cheeses and chocolates, etc. It is nothing that we would go out of our way for though after trying it this one time.”

“As an SU Alum, nothing has changed about this cool bar. Drinks were flowing per usual and the atmosphere was full of Alumni from all over the world since it's Orange Central weekend. ?”

“Another hidden gem in downtown that is great for sports games. Good crowds for SU games and I like that they have darts and other games. Food and wings are good as well.”

“Discovering a Japanese restaurant that not only serves delectable sushi but also understands the essence of taste and quality service can be a delightful experience. Such establishments, where the ambiance is just right for both romantic dates and friendly gatherings, become cherished spots for many. The bento box, a traditional Japanese meal that offers a variety of flavors in one convenient package, represents a thoughtful balance of nutrition and taste. It's no wonder that a well-crafted bento box can be considered a 'value for money' choice for those who appreciate the intricate flavors of Japanese cuisine. These restaurants often become landmarks in their locales, celebrated for bringing a slice of Japanese culinary artistry to the table.”

“Surprisingly really good food for an average hotel. They’re always busy but the staff is friendly and tries their best to keep up. Prices are fair and I’ve yet to have a bad meal here.”

“It's a cozy little ramen spot in the corner of the mall. The 5 spice ramen is pretty good. They use curly noodles for the ramen which I don't like as much but overall it was delicious. Would recommend.”

“Very friendly attentive service, helpful and great selection. If you want Jordan's, this is the place to shop!!!! Clean and organized store. Extremely pleased and highly recommended”

“Came for the first time as a group. Will was absolutely amazing. Great custom service, great wine selection, and great laughs. Request him ASAP, he accommodates and gives amazing wine selections”

“Me and my wife came here for lunch at around 3:30 and not a lot of people were here BUT the food was delicious. They welcomed my ESA here which was great!!! We all felt really welcomed! :) I wish I could rate this 100/100! I recommend the Rice noodle ”

“I highly recommend Mona Lisa’s! Service was excellent! We had the meatball riggies, chicken parm and Utica greens. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. It was cooked and prepared perfectly. Their red sauce is wonderful. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone!”

“What a friendly staff! I wish there were more gluten free options, but care was taken to be sure what you offer is safeDietary restrictions: You can have pasta with tomato sauce or pasta with meat sauce. There is a soup option and the garden salad”

“We enjoyed Mother's Day Brunch at Redfield's this morning and it was excellent.

“I LOVE OISHI i just ordered a bit before their closing and they still arrived with great service! definitely give them a hefty tip bc the sushi is always hitting ”

“china pavilion for over 30 years has been a hidden chinese resturant gem Great place for group to dine or take out. You won't be disappointed. Great night out at reseasonble price and great meal.”

“My husband is West African and was born and raised in NYC, where he had more access to his cultural foods. Once he moved to Syracuse, he desperately craved the delicious foods that he grew up on. Unfortunately, African cuisine is not as accessible as it once was for him. Luckily, we have Yelp, and we're able to simply type in African cuisine and The Taste of Africa was listed as an option. We decided to stop in and check them out. I can tell instantly upon arriving that the aroma alone teleported my husband back to his NYC days. His excitement on its own was enough for me to leave a rave review! The ambiance of the restaurant is very clean cozy and comfortable. You can either dine in or opt for takeout. Once we decided that we would dine in, We were greeted kindly and told we could sit where we liked. Upon sitting, we were immediately given our menus.The selections here all sound amazing, which made it difficult for me who's never had African cuisine to choose. Ultimately, I decided to order their stewed beef with rice. My husband ordered the red snapper with cassava leaf. We also ordered plantain for our starter.Each dish was so full of flavor! As a first-timer, I was very pleased. My husband was very impressed with his meal as well. We were checked on quite often by our waitress, and she was extremely kind. Towards the end of our meal, the owner came over to our table, and he was also very personable and kind. Overall, this is a wonderful family owned restaurant. We had a wonderful first experience dining with The Taste of Africa and will definitely return again. I encourage anyone who's interested in trying African cuisine to give them a try. Owners are very kind and extremely helpful when it comes to explaining what each dish is.Update: These photos are from our 2cd visit to this restaurant (take out).”

“I don't typically order Italian for takeout. I'm also not a huge fan of stuffed pasta, don't like the consistency and it's usually very bland tasting. I ordered the Cheese Tortellini in Carbonara sauce and I give it a 10 out of 10!! The sauce was amazing and the pasta had a fabulous flavor, you can truly taste the cheese in the Tortellini! It was ready when they said it would be and was hot when I got home. Great job everyone!! I know I'll be a regular customer now!”

“Prume Steak House has been our must go to from the first year we were at the NYS Fire Chiefs Convention in Syracuse and we met with and chatted with Danny at the picnic table. When he asked us to wait and went in and got a table in a sold out venue, Danny made friends with the three of us for life.”

“The waitress was inexperienced, I think. We had a party of 2 but she left a 4 place setting on the table, not even removing the extra dishes when there was obviously no room when the food arrived . The main course was served without removing the appetizer plates. The food was satisfactory, nothing to rave about.”

“I had to come here from California to get buffalo chicken wings that are cooked as they're supposed to be. Only upstate NY does Buffalo wings right, California is clueless, and Wings over Syracuse cooked them as well as the best do because they are one of the best. Thanks, guys!”

“My sister and I went to Texas de Brazil today 7/15 at 1:00 for lunch. Our experience was amazing. Previously we were very disappointed and hoped this time would be better. We had Judy and Cya as our hosts/waitresses, we can’t say enough about the excellent service they provided. The food was perfectly cooked, the choices on the salad bar were wonderful. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our lunch and how Judy and Cya made our experience so enjoyable. These two women provided the best service, our food was delicious and we were very impressed. Thank you!”

“Service was outstanding. Food was very good. Everything tasted fresh, was prepared correctly, and was delicious. Brought four of my salesman for lunch and they absolutely enjoyed it. We will be back. Special shout out to our server, Bryanna, who was awesome!”

“Absolutely love the ambiance and atmosphere of this establishment! This first time I went was for my 32nd birthday I ordered the grilled chicken and tiger shrimp pasta in a white wine sauce, terrible and an outstanding lobster tail, my spouse ordered the Filet Mignon and lobster tail which was superb. The second was for my 33rd birthday I ordered grilled Faroe Island salmon which was disappointing to say the least. So we'll just stick with the steak and lobster.”

“The pricing was good , staff friendly , selection plentiful, would go back for the all you can eat again!( When you go in to eat, you do have to mention the all you can eat option to receive the appropriate menus )”

“Had a delicious pre-show dinner. And our waiter, Ben, was fabulous. That was a big contrast to the "gentleman", possibly the host, who took the party behind us even though we had reservations, walked that group through the middle of our party and sat them at the table Ben had set up for us. Ben handled everything very professionally. Our group, however, was stunned at the rudeness shown to Ben and to us, the customers, by this other employee. Fortunately, our food was wonderful and we enjoyed ourselves.”

“Very accommodating staff and great sushi! Server took the time to explain all the varieties of sake and answer my thousand questions patiently. Soup was Tom yummy”

“Everything we had (Greek Salad, House Special Cheese Burger, Chicken Burger, Mashed Potatoes) was delicious and there were so many gluten free options for my wife, it was hard to choose - something that rarely happens for someone with food allergies. They can also accommodate for most allergies as Everything is made fresh and with care. We will be coming back here.Dietary restrictions: They will accommodate for gluten free diets and most other allergies”

“so I almost didn't order here... as my husband went in I read the reviews and was to late to stop him because of the handful of bad reviews. I have no idea why they got them but this place was delicious. the ingredients were on point. I was so surprised to find a restaurant actually using such impressive ingredients. my favorite was the hot oil wanton which I will be dreaming about tonight... I'm all the way in Rome ny and want to drive back over for another order or 2 lol. the beef hot oil soup is so full of meat and flavor. this is the first time I've ever regretted reading reviews. give them a try and see for yourself. absolutely scrumptious.”

“Great smile from Kelly bartender as we walked in restaurant. Sandee sweet, kind, & professional service. With a great smile too. We will be back for the friendly service great food & drinks.Tracy & ”
