Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Syracuse University

We had an amazing dinner from start to finish. Jessie was our server and she was great. Very attentive. We (5 people) all loved our dishes…duck, scallops, steak and risotto. Dessert and drinks we wonderful as well!

Great breakfast and attentive staff. Recommend the eggs Benedict and the Cali Toast.

I was surprised by the fact that it was a small restaurant with a very small defined menu. However, my surprise turned to extraordinary delight when I ordered a small bite and dinner that were truly outstanding along with the incredible wine pairings. This is one of those hidden gem restaurants that I was lucky to find while traveling on business through Syracuse. 

Everything was great except when we first arrived. There was nobody at the door for us to say we had a reservation. We had to put in our credit card info when making the reservation, so we didn’t want to be charged for not showing up. So, we asked the bartender and he said sit wherever. We then heard the bartender say to the server, “Can you take care of that table? They’ve obviously never been here before.” After that, everything was great. The food and drinks were amazing!

Excellent place to go before a show. There was a special menu based on the Lion King theme and all items we chose were delicious. Service was friendly and accurate.
