We all ordered the Utica beer breaded fish fry. Cannot be more happier with their meal the fish was huge and lightly breaded. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. Large selection of craft beers. I definitely will be back.“

“We hosted our Utica-Rome Chapter dinner at Monarch Banquets and couldn’t have been happier. The food was outstanding, and Joe and Monica were incredibly accommodating—communicating clearly right up to the day before the event. They never gave me any trouble, even as I kept adding guests to the list! I’m sad to see them leave the business, but excited for whatever comes next in their journey. Thank you for helping make our evening so special!“

“The Tram is filled with amazingness altogether. if that’s even a word. Whether it be supporting artists of all kinds, out of their passion for art. Or their amazing food and drinks! (best hot chocolate ever, by the way). And kind and hardworking staff! They have created a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for all. Utica is beyond lucky to have a business like them around!!“

“The most absolute amazing salad you can design. Trust me when I say put some hot purple rice in the bottom of the bowl and start building the rest! Fresh grated ginger is a game changer. Don't forget all the free extras by the cash register you can add on. In New Hartford the manager is Austin and he is absolutely incredible! He runs a wonderful establishment and is constantly helping his workers out. My friend and I go here every 3 weeks and have our favorite table we always sit at. Austin even remembers all my toppings all the way to the well done steak. Incredible service and atmosphere.“

“In sporting vernacular: grand slam, eagle, bullseye!! The planning for my 50th birthday party started with Motus months prior. The details of the menu, signature cocktail, embellishments and affordable pricing were as smooth as silk. The follow up meetings were effective and brief. Every detail was accommodated in style and with class. When Alicia said not to worry, they will handle everything, I left it in their capable hands and didn’t give it another thought. The event of about 30 family and dear friends was an astounding and resounding success. One word: Delicious! The presentation was wonderful. The service was timely, accurate, professional, and nearly invisible throughout the evening. Everyone is still raving about the menu variety, service, and the General sumptuousness of the event. This was the best choice. Alicia, you are wonderful!! We are still on cloud 9. This one review represents 28 rave accolades and approvals. Job well done!“

Everything was delicious from the soft bread and butter to the gnocchi with basil cream sauce to the vanilla cannoli! The staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend The Franklin Hotel if you are in Rome, NY!“

“Friendly staff and awesome food. Luv this place.“

“IT can be noisy. Not the noise level of these obnoxious chain restaurants. The food, and service was great, as I took a very tall gal, to Teddy's on a date. We had a great time, and were seated promptly. The service staff, did not rush us nor were the meals delivered, right after the appetizers as many chain restaurants do to service as many customers as possible.
We also chose Teddy's Restaurant, as we live close by, and had no need to drive there. The other option was a restaurant on North James street. Prices are about the same.
I had the broiled Haddock. Delicious. She had the Big Daddy Chicken sandwich. Italian nachos, was our appetizer. We shared a slice of carrot cake. Delicious.
I just wonder if Teddy's, would serve more people, if it located onto Chestnut street near Griffiss business park. Everything, as gar as jobs, the Copper City is receiving, ends-up on Griffiss.“

“Food was Amazing Service was great“

“Excellent Excellent Excellent! Prices, quality, service, atmosphere A++ i will be finding another show at the Stanley to attend just to come back and eat again. Our server Alison, fantastic!“

The chicken wing, steak sandwiches, fish fry are all unbeatable!! My #1 desirable hidden gem & literally less than 1 mile from my home!! How lucky am I?? My favorite bar also!! Do yourself a service & check out Marcy Tavern!!“

“We made a last minute reservation because we had to change venues for a picky eater. We were celebrating my MIL's birthday. She had the ribeye and loved it. That's all that really mattered. We also ordered the burger, a pizza, chicken francaise and Tuscan chicken. Everything was delicious. We were early so the place wasn't too busy and the service was top notch! The waitress surprised us with a dish of ice cream with a sparkler in it for the birthday girl. It was so awesome! Great service!“

“I was expecting something like a Mother's Market or Sprouts. But this is much smaller and clearly a local business, which means a limited variety of products. That's not a bad thing. There's a cafe inside with ample seating and on (some?) weekends local bread maker vendors sell fantastic bread made from NY state grown wheat.“
