The Salome was a bit plain... but liked the place overall.

Not a very intimate place if you want a romantic dinner. But fantastic food and outstanding service. Prices were fantastic considering the food was so good. We will absolutely be

Friday night is fish Friday night at Dmlins which is the name of the golf course for the restaurant is located. Excellent food. I had chicken. My wife had fish. Both were delicious kitchen. Got a little boatloaded at first but they caught up pretty quickly. Very nice atmosphere and the view of the deer out on the golf course was also wonderful

Fun fact. Syracuse University owns this restaurant and the golf club. Yup. One star. And it may sound petty to some but it’s based on principle. And it’s hard for me to do to a business but as I told the manager; who admitted it is a common complaint, I’d amend this review and make it 5 start one if they openly, on their webpage, announced their error, apologized and promised to never do it again. As part of my $168.00 meal recently, was 2 top shelf scotches, (on the rocks) the bill itemized everything, including 2 $2 dollar charges, for “cubes” (ice) I did speak to the manager to tell him the meals were great and so was the service, but I won’t be back. The manager, also the pro-shop manager, was quite nice, and tried to explain “cubes” really meant an added fee associated with the extra half oz associated with “on the rocks” pours. He acknowledged it literally says “cubes” and manager above him is who chose to do things this way. The restaurant and the golf course are owned by Syracuse University, so of course there are redundant levels of management; and likely the wrong people making decisions about scamming gouge jobs like this. I’m not buying the “on the rocks pour”. This subtle scam job happens everywhere, and it’s usually attached to items purchased by people that appreciate the better things in life (top shelf drinks) not it happens everywhere. ie: high line cars, dealership service repairs, healthcare, homes, clothing, even internet streaming services. You see, during these unprecedented times of outrageous times of inflation, it’s the perfect time to sneak in some gouging. And many times the people that aren’t seeking the economy, bargain brand, will overlook it, or just accept it as part of inflation. It’s not. It’s very calculated and deliberate. And someone at the decision making level of SU chose to gouge. I never asked to have the charge removed. I paid, as everyone should. Tipped well. And will never be back, as long as they have this mentality. I’d rather spend $268 at a place that has better scruples. I know my decision (and review) probably won’t matter much to their bottom line profits, or their busy times, with regulars. But it should. If behavior like this is not called out and dissolved, it will spread as normal practices elsewhere. Think of your garbage service that tried a fuel surcharge when gas became expensive. They got away with it and when prices went to all time lows, it didn’t go away. Think about your cel phone company that got away with added surcharges that takes their legal department to explain. I could go on. But hey, it’s a small charge that’s not worth mentioning! These practices make a lot of creative scamming gougers a lot of money. Rant over. I hope they change their ways, but I won’t hold my breath. I have a better chance asking anybody that reads this, and goes (you may not even get a drink “on the rocks” (and I have no doubts your meal will be great), but ask them about their “cubes charge” policy decisions. Mention me by name. If everyone asks. It just might shame them into an honest business. With all patrons. Especially the ones that don’t mind spending a little extra for the good stuff. THOSE people shouldn’t be scammed for it.

Brunch food excellent. Service was fine however we were seated at a syrup sticky table and the place was empty at 1…so ample time to clean all tables. Nice view of course. Now for the very bad … 2 families eating with young children had to endure repeatedly the constant F bombs and every other swearing Loudly !!! Bartender should remind his patrons this is an SU establishment and family friendly restaurant. Parents appeared uncomfortable and ate quickly to escape those loud drinkers with lack of vocabulary. It was like dining at a dive bar.Kid-friendliness: If your children would like to learn loud constant profanity !

We were a party of 12 college tennis players and their families...walking in without reservations on a late Friday evening. The serving staff was accommodating and the food was excellent from appetizer to entree. Bravo!

We had our rehearsal dinner in the upstairs space this August. Both the food and the service were phenomenal, and Laura was very friendly and easy to work with to coordinate our event!

When I asked for a double shot of my vodka, the bill came with a $2.00 "rocks" charge. The manager couldn't take the time to listen to my question and gave me a nonsensical answer. While our food was OK, the attitude of the mgr was unacceptable. Beware of this rocks charge. We won't return.

Passing through and found on Yelp at 4.5 stars, but we give it a 5! The food is terrific. Our waitress was super friendly. The outdoor seating is great. It turns out, my Dad had his graduation party here 47 years ago, and my aunt & uncle who were also with me went to a New Year's Eve party here in 1964! That's 60 years ago! Now owned by Syracuse University, this restaurant (and golf club) is a staple in Syracuse, NY. You must try the restaurant if you haven't already!

French onion soup is excellent. They have homemade bread and pasta, which is a huge plus. Service was attentive, they clearly know how to manage an operation.
