Brian's Landing Jamesville

This used to be my favorite place for brunch, for years I went every other week.

The menu options over the last head and quality of the food have tanked greatly.

There are constantly issues with our orders and it takes over an hour to get food. To top it off, the servers are just not very good.
The last two times I’ve gone they made a mistake with one of our parties orders. They offered no resolution either time and gave us nothing as a consolation. We waited over 1.5 hours for the food to arrive and the place was half empty on the last visit… when the order came our wrong they said “oops sorry”.

Will never go back.

Good music, great food. I especially liked the smoked bacon wrapped filet medallions. We love all the servers and Jaqueline treats us like family. We enjoy when Mark Macri plays!

Parking: Extra parking across from the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: I see plenty of children there at brunch or dinner.

Wheelchair accessibility: Front door and handicapped parking accessible. Bathroom is accessible on the bar side.

First time here but absolutely love the food. Everything is made in house and from scratch. Lobster bisque had big chunks of lobster. Drinks were amazing. Can recommend the espresso martinis. I had the fried haddock, was perfect cooked, personally wasn't a fan of the panko breading but that's just my preference. If you like panko I'm sure you will really enjoy. Also the chickpea tacos were fantastic. Can't wait to go back, may become a regular

Should have put the butter with the lobster rolls instead of separate.

I left this review on "Where Syracuse Eats"; Oh, my soul! Soft shell crab tacos at Brian's Landing Jamesville. I now want to permanently live here in the middle of their dining room... Had a fantastic lunch... deep fried brussel sprouts with pork belly, a delightful salad with prosciutto and fresh figs, and these slammin' tacos. Large sharable portions reasonably priced and charmingly (and very professionally) served by our waitperson, Skyler. Definitely will be revisiting this jernt on a regular basis!

Inconsistent food preparation on occasion.

My experience at Brian's landing was amazing. Service was there to help at all times and was very kind. As for our appetizer we had the honey and goat cheese petta bread, and it was amazing. The petta bread had an amazing texture and good seasoning. For my main course I had the homade pasta meat lasagna. The lasagna had the perfect ratio between all the cheese, meat and sauce. The crust on the top was amazingly seasoned and really added more flavor and texture.

Always Exceptional!

This restaurant never disappoints. The food, service, and atmosphere are consistently top-notch. Fresh, high-quality ingredients are beautifully presented, and every dish bursts with flavor. The staff is attentive and welcoming, adding to the overall exceptional experience. Other restaurants in Central New York could learn a thing or two from this gem. Highly recommended!

What a fantastic Sunday brunch spot! I was blown away by the quality of the food, drinks, and service. They also have a fantastic outdoor dining area on days when the weather allows. You can’t go wrong with the build-your-own Bloody Mary bar, monkey bread, and boozy French toast, but really everything on the brunch menu looked fantastic. I can’t wait to come back and try their dinner menu!

This is my absolute favorite brunch spot. The menu changes every few months and is so unique and delicious. I also appreciate the live music on Sundays. This was my first visit for lunch and I wasn’t disappointed. We got the Brussel sprouts appetizer- the best I’ve had. We each got the taco special. The shrimp tacos were so tasty and the sauces on both the appetizer and the entree were such a garlicky/sweet/spicy surprise. Our waitress was outstanding. A glass of Chardonnay was $8. Just go! You will love it as much as I do.

The evening didn't start well when the hostess offered us a cramped table for two between the bar and dining room, despite only two occupied tables in the dining room. My husband asked for a booth and we were shown to one with the sunlight pouring in. Fortunately blinds on the windows could be adjusted.
Our server was perky and friendly although she didn't refill my water glass.
Food: OK. Beer choices, limited. Somehow Utica Club (a popular beverage for Friday afternoon parties when I was in college) didn't seem to fit.
The check: my husband ordered the barbecue special, pulled pork and coleslaw on a brioche roll, with corn bread and mac and cheese. $26.00! We frequently travel cross country and often eat at barbecue places. Never, never, never have we seen a price like that for a simple sandwich with sides.
