Elderberry Pond Restaurant

The Elderberry Pond Restaurant is a world class restaurant! I believe it is by far the best restaurant in the greater Syracuse region. I also place the Elderberry in my top ten favorite restaurants in the USA.

The menu, food, and wine are creative. The food is flawless and absolutely delicious. Every couse was sensational. The farm to table makes a difference. What a treat to have two chefs from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park cooking for us. The dining room is both contemporary and traditional with spacious beauty between tables. The hospitality is warm and welcoming. Maggie took excellent care of us from the time of our reservation to greeting us at the door and attending to our dining experience down to every detail. All the staff work together as a team. The staff have been well trained and exhibit subtle hospitality skills observed at the finest restaurants in New York, London, and Paris. The grounds are also beautiful and well cared for. Every detail of the Elderberry exudes creativity, passion, attention to detail, and pride of exquisite service.

We would drive from the Vermont just to have dinner at the Elderberry!

I am so glad that I finally made it to Elderberry Pond!!! It did not disappoint! The waitresses and hostesses were just wonderful! 3 out of four of us had crab cakes and they were delicious, the 4th had the mushroom risotto, and she was very satisfied! I love supporting a local establishment, I love that they care about what's in their food using organic ingredients, and that they are a farm to table establishment! We will definitely be back!!

Great food and even better service!

I think the picture says it all for this one. Lobster Ravioli 🤤

Nice atmosphere and great service. Menu is limited but food is fresh and of good quality. I got the chicken a bit bland but the veggie was also fresh and delicious. Lots of dessert options. The three of us shared and all were amazing. I go back for the dessert alone.

This place is fine dining at its best! The food from beginning to end was perfect and delicious in every way. The service was impeccable and the ambiance was beautiful. I highly recommend the prime rib. Get a bottle of wine and try the stuffed mushrooms. I guarantee you'll be glad you did. I travel across the country extensively Monday through Friday, and I eat at some of the finest restaurants and this place is top-notch. Fresh and local. Keep up the good work folks. I'll definitely be back when traveling in the area again.
