“This place is a hidden gem! The food, the atmosphere, the STAFF are all amazing! We will definitely return!”
“This is the 2nd time I've been to The Cider Mill since having a very restricted diet for my breastfed baby and they were beyond accommodating both times. Our server went back to the kitchen multiple times to figure out what I could have and to check ingredients and ensure my meal was free of dairy, soy and eggs When she brought us bread and the tomato dipping sauce she had already verified that I could eat both and when there wasn't really a safe dessert (& they knew it was my birthday) she came out with a coconut whip and a candle (which was actually a perfect little light and delicious dessert). Above and beyond and so thoughtful. Apart from my allergy situation they just have delicious food and drinks and the staff is also more than kind. When my husband and I brought our 8 week old baby to eat outside, the general manager/hostess came to our car to ask if we needed help carrying anything. We have felt so cared for each visit which is just a huge bonus to the yummy food! 🩵”
“I recommend going here to just chill and relax. If you love cats and want to just chill with them as well then that’s a plus! I love this gem.”
“I highly recommend Mona Lisa’s! Service was excellent! We had the meatball riggies, chicken parm and Utica greens. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. It was cooked and prepared perfectly. Their red sauce is wonderful. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone!”
“Drinks were weak I couldn’t taste the alcohol at all I don’t even believe they put any in my drink.”

“Went to Joey's for the first time last night. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was. From the fresh bread with yummy garlic butter to delicious salads and fabulous entrees. I ordered Shrimp Francaise and it was the best food I have ever eaten. I brought Tiramisu home for desert. Again, mouth watering, so so delicious. My friends had eggplant Parmesan, clams, salmon, chicken french, and all raved about their entrees. But the other best part was the host Chris and our wonderful server Nancy. She is by far the best server ever. She made our evening fun while providing excellent service. Totally in tuned with our table and always answering our questions with knowledge and a wonderful attitude. The ambiance was great. Nice little tables for two in corners and just the right atmosphere for everyone.”
Pizza • $$
“My coworker and I sat at the bar seating in front of the pizza kitchen. We had a great experience chatting with the staff making the pizzas. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive even though the restaurant was packed on a Tuesday evening. The food was amazing from appetizer to dessert. I had their delicious seasonal sangria to drink. We will definitely be back!”

Bar & Grill • $$
“I disagree 100 percent that the riggies here taste better than Utica. They simply don’t. The portion size was great, but the chicken was so cut way too small. The sauce just didn’t hit my taste buds the same. The cheese and seasoning on the saucer for bread is just odd. Not bad, just odd. My server never checked in to ask how my food was, but he did have a lot of tables. I probably would return and order something else. Overall, it’s worth checking out. They do seem to get very busy though. Parking can be limited.”

Lots of choices for food and the pizza oven has a variety of tasty pizzas to choose from. Kim DeStefano was the best bartender, quick, efficient and exceptionally friendly. The event room was everything I wanted & could have imagined to celebrate my dad’s 80th. Highly recommend with working with Marie for any parties in the future. Thank you Maxwells for awesome food and venue. Cheers !!”

“I've never said "Wow, this is a good burger" when I went to any other McDonald's. I don't know if they salt the patties or have some other secret method, but WOW the burger I got blew me away. I liked the friendly staff and the cleanliness of the place. Only downside is the music might not be to everyone's taste, but everything else made it a shockingly good stop.”
Mexican • $$
“Excellent food. Meats and sauces are so flavorful and delicious. Even the rice and beans have a little something extra. Dishes are well portioned and fresh made. Tortilla chips and homemade sauce are perfect starters. The flan and ice cream are excellent ways to end the meal. Can’t wait till next time to try the specials!”

“My absolute favorite restaurant in Syracuse. The fries are immaculate with the perfect crispy exterior, and soft smooth interior. My go to main dish is the Kefta Kebab, and they always fulfill my request of extra Sumac on the side :) The staff is so friendly, it's always pleasant to come here. I am moving and this will be the place I genuinely miss the most in Syracuse!! I forgot to take a picture before eating, so here is a picture of my leftovers from the Kefta Kebab platter. This is a must visit restaurant if you like middle eastern food!!
Edit, forgot to say: I also took notice of how clean this restaurant is. Every time me and my family come in, I see how sparkly clean all the tables, kitchen, and bathrooms look. This puts lots of confidence in quality!”

I had a matcha drink this time around but my next visit will be Vietnamese coffee!”

The Sweet Praxis is one of my favorites for SO many reasons -- not only is their team professional, experienced and responsive, they're also super down-to-earth and creative. They're always thinking outside of the box, offering unique treats and flavors. Our team and our clients love that they have numerous options for those with dietary restrictions/allergies, as well! We highly recommend their services for any upcoming event you may have and if you don't have an event, you should swing by and order some goodies right at their shop😍🧁🎂”

“I give all my buyer clients gift baskets when they close on a new home. In every basket I include the three items that are a part of an old traditional house blessing: “Bread—that this house may never know hunger, Salt—that life may always have flavor, and Wine—that joy and prosperity may reign forever” I always use small, local businesses for the products to make and fill my basket. Especially the bread! I want it to be same-day fresh, and from a bakery as close to the client’s new home as possible. Well, yesterday I had a final walkthrough with a client in the Scottholm neighborhood, and Tous Les Jours was the closest option. Boy was I blown away by every detail of this shop!! It was pristine, every item and every surface sparkled and gleamed, there were so many delicious looking pastries and so many I had never seen before! The chefs were dressed in beautiful gingham uniforms and chatted with us as easily as if they had known us for years. I will definitely be going back many times. And my clients very much appreciated the delicious, authentic French Baguette!”

“We were seated immediately even though there were a ton of vehicles in the parking lot. Had our drinks in less than 2 minutes of sitting down. Our food came in a timely manner. The waitress was attentive without being intrusive. The manager made a brief stop to see how we were enjoying our meal.
I had the Hibachi salmon with rice and steamed broccoli. Broccoli was a little too over streamed but that's my personal preference, otherwise everything was delicious. My partner had the French Onion burger that she enjoyed.
Great experience all around. My first time there. I'll be back!”

“We had an awesome meal at Bullfinch. The food was great, and so was the beer - the sours are incredible! The wait staff was absolutely outstanding, and so patient and kind with our large group including kids! In addition to the awesome food and service, they went above and beyond when my daughter left her wristlet - full of cash and gift cards - on our table. We didn’t realize it was gone until we were back in Rochester. The staff kept in touch with me and mailed it to our house! And, nothing was missing when we got it. I am amazed and impressed! We will go there anytime we are at Destiny!”

Chinese • $$
“I just moved to Glen Ave and had no idea who to get good Chinese from so I read reviews. Some were scary with roaches and this looked good! Well they exceeded my expectations. The sesame chicken was cooked perfectly and followed my request on shrimp fried rice and pork fried rice. Both rice dishes had fresh and perfectly cooked meat and not overcooked and hard. The crab ragoons are the best I have ever had and I am a snob when it comes to those. This is THE best authentic Chinese restaurant I ever had and will be ordering again soon!”
Brewery • $$
“I visited a variety of breweries in Syracuse NY, and although this wasn't the most aesthetic place for a brewery, the beer by far was the best tasting. It wasn't because this was the first place I went to, but the other places visited were memorable for their atmosphere and locations. I personally wouldn't trade taste for aesthetics.”
Cocktail Bar • $$
“The atmosphere was cozy but could see this place being packed and crowded when it's not middle of winter and during school break (we visited early January) The cocktails where great and the bar staff knew their spirits. We were lucky to sit across from the food prep area which gave us the opportunity to watch and talk with Chef David. His menu is out of this world . The small Plate creations were absolutely phenomenal. You MUST try the tartare. We will def visit again next time we are in SYR and hope to sit in the same spot to talk with David.”

“Last night’s wine pairing dinner was truly a 10/10 experience. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, creating an atmosphere that felt both elegant and comfortable. The chef absolutely blew me away each dish was a masterpiece, perfectly paired with wines that brought out every flavor. You could feel the passion behind every plate and every pour. And the people? Just amazing. Great conversations, great vibes, and an overall unforgettable evening. I left full, happy, and already looking forward to the next one!”
Thai • $$
“Food is incredible but service could be a bit more attentive. Been there twice so far because the food is so good but both times it’s like once the waitress brings your food, she disappears and you can’t find her again if u need anything else. Both times I went it was slow. Once was for dinner service and the next time was for lunch service. Same two waitresses on both times. Love the food but the service leaves something to be desired. Makes me wonder what happens if it’s actually busy. However, the food has been incredible enough so far that I’ll keep going back until the food and the service both become subpar. Hopefully that won’t ever happen.”

“So we tried to get crab legs last week (not here) and had one of the absolute worst experiences I've ever had as a guest at a restaurant. Decided to try them at Daniella's this time and they were awesome! We told our waitress about our experience last week and just like we were, she was shocked by how we were treated. She went above and beyond to make our night a great one. At one point her and I were joking about her helping crack them open with me because this girl can out eat the guys when it comes to crab legs 🤷🏻♀️ lol and a few minutes later she actually pulled up a chair, put on some gloves and said let's do this!! Amanda at Daniella's seafood, you were absolutely amazing!! Thanks for making our night a fantastic one!!”

“We recently had dinner at this establishment. It as a special occasion so be brought a cake with us and were told there would be a $20 serving fee! How outrageous is that! In this day and age with this economy I would think you would be grateful for the business. Where is the customer service! I was told you have a baker on sight so that is the reason! ridiculous! Needless to say we will NOT patronize Francescas again and will spread the word! There were 6 of us and so with drinks etc. we had a hefty bill Also, the veal saltimbuca was way overcooked!”

“My wife and I went for a date night. The atmosphere was great, the decor was amazing. We got there early and sat on one of the couches. The hostess was pleasant and accommodating. We were sat at a table by the window. Our server Sierra was very nice and welcoming. We ordered the poutine for an appetizer. It was amazing, so delicious. There was enough for 4 people. I ordered the pork chop, it was so tender and full of flavor. My wife ordered the Tanglewood chicken. That was amazing. The crispy fried chicken skin and collard greens were so good. The chicken was tender and juicy my wife said. We did not get dessert, I cannot eat too much due to having gastric bypass. We do not drink alcohol so no reviews on their drinks. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful date night.”

“We’re a hockey family that travels all over the northeast and you never know what you’ll get with a restaurant in a hotel. That being said this restaurant blew us away and exceeded expectations. I had the brisket sandwich and it was fresh, flavorful, hot, and not at all soggy even in the takeout box. Wife got the burger and shes never had as good experience on the first time ordering from an out of town restaurant. Definitely save yourself a door dash or grub hub fee and order here”

“The Fried Beef with Cumin was good...it cost about $19 and I will get about 1.5 meals out of this. The food was pretty good, but it didn't knock me off my socks. I'll definitely give this place another try, so I think four stars is fair.”

“We enjoyed Mother's Day Brunch at Redfield's this morning and it was excellent. They offered a lovely spread of breakfast and lunch items, including an omelette station, french toast bake, fruit, salads, chicken, and incredible freshly baked desserts (truffles, cream pies, bars). Terri, our waitress, was attentive and pleasant and the manager watched over the whole operation carefully. We have gone to other brunches and nothing compares. Other places are crowded and just not very special. We will return to next year.”
Thai • $$
“After several years of having no Thai restaurant to call our own, I think we finally found our place. The food was amazing, the service was prompt and very friendly and engaging. I was warned when I ordered the hot (their spice levels are mild, medium, hot, and Thai hot, and I'm not doing Thai hot ever again, IYKYK). We had a great conversation with our server about the spice level and the food quality. I told her I came here for the heat and to let me have it. There's just something about Thai spice that compliments the dishes so well, it's why I love Thai cuisine so much when done right. Can I just tell you how happy this food made us? When we lost our local Thai place, it was like there was a death in the family. This was like seeing an old friend again. I ordered panang curry with chicken and Julie ordered a mango cashew stir fry. Wow. Both dishes were amazing. The flavors were so pronounced, the veggies were so fresh. It hit all the buttons. And just like the place we used to frequent, the heat was perfect. It was about 8 star heat for those of you who frequented Thai rose. I told my server when she brought it out I was quite excited to be able the see the heat in my dish with all the red speckles in it. We can't wait to return and explore the rest of the menu, very highly recommended.”

“The chicken pastini soup was served nice and hot, loaded with fresh veggies and chicken. Very good. The clams casino were perfectly prepared and so delicious, only problem was that we wanted more. Our entrees were excellent and accompanied with delicious crusty Italian bread. Will be back for more!”

“After a hard day working on a house project I was too tired to cook so I called OIP Eastwood location and ordered 4 works steak subs with sides of marinara, 10 chargrilled mango habanero wings and a large sausage and mushroom pizza! We were starving obviously! Hillary got my order 100% correct and was super friendly! 25 minutes later the food was ready! When we got the food home and started devouring everything, all was prepared to perfection and tasted amazing! You now have 3 additional fans of your amazing food besides myself! Thank you all so much for making our hard day of work end so deliciously and making my difficult day so much easier come dinner time! ❤️”

“Idk if it was just because i was astoundingly hungry, or maybe it's just been so long since I've had good sushi (i previously lived in Kansas where good fresh sushi is very hard to find,) but I got the three rolls lunch special which I shared with my brother and we both started immediately crying from how delicious it was. Will definitely be coming back as often as we can. Thank you for making my day, I feel very nourished and satisfied like the main ingredient was God's Love”

“My sister and I went to Texas de Brazil today 7/15 at 1:00 for lunch. Our experience was amazing. Previously we were very disappointed and hoped this time would be better. We had Judy and Cya as our hosts/waitresses, we can’t say enough about the excellent service they provided. The food was perfectly cooked, the choices on the salad bar were wonderful. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our lunch and how Judy and Cya made our experience so enjoyable. These two women provided the best service, our food was delicious and we were very impressed. Thank you!”

“Awesome people, awesome food. Really friendly. I got a little taste sample of some absolutely delicious ziti concept they had going on. Service was quick. I'm working in the area from out of town and so happy I found this place. Open late too, which is really convenient. Edit: I just had the calzone I ordered. WOW! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I've never had a calzone this good.”

“This place is always a good time. Whether it is DJ Skeet or my favorite, DJ Mike, this place is always fantastic. The staff is incredible. We have been going enough that we know most of them pretty well now. The bouncers are super professional and take care of issues very quickly. I have seen them be verbally abused, and they just smile and take it. They don't have ridiculous egos like some of the bouncers from other bars and clubs close by.
I would 100% recommend stopping by this place if you are out and want to have fun!”

“We were right next to the ordering area for the servers so it was a little loud but the atmosphere was still nice. The food is good but somewhat overpriced for what you get, especiallythe appetizers. Chopped salad was really good. Drinks were great. There are better steak places in the area for less money but I think it was still worth trying once. Steak was really good though.”
Chinese • $$
“Great spices, good char and smoke on the barbecue skewers. It tastes super traditional and is reminiscent of street skewers and beer I'd grab late nights or after work. This is the kind of food that is meant to enjoyed in groups and with some beer to aromatize the spices and smoke in the meat. Prioritize the skewers and dry/spicy options on the menu as this place specializes in that. As is traditional in Chinese restaurants, they offer a wide expanse of options that may not reflect their specialty. I hope this place takes off and they can continue to grow/improve their service. I will be bringing friends here in the future.”

“I have been ordering on doordash from here for a while now. I have probably ordered from this place at least 6 different times. First of all the price of this food is awesome and so worth it. Secondly, humans only tend to take the time to write reviews typically when they have something negative to say. This is not the majority of peoples opinions who get food from here I can assure you of that. The ones that enjoy it got their belly's full and fingers too sticky to type something out. I have always loved their wings, ANY FLAVOR and the general tso's pizza is INCREDIBLE! Give them a chance. If they disappoint you- just remember nobody is perfect and not everything will reach everyone's highest expectations. Take the cost of the food and the quality in mind, because I 10/10 recommend this place to anyone looking for affordable, and delicious wings and pizza.”

“The Market Diner is a beautiful gem perched in the very shadow of Destiny, USA. They offer up oversized portions, a cheerful staff of diligent waitresses, and a delightful atmosphere. Being right there in the Regional Market Complex is one reason why the food is so fresh, some of the ingredients are obviously farm to table. They have breakfast specials that I have enjoyed many of the. My favourite is the Friday Fish Dinner..... I will highly recommend them to anyone with a hearty appetite and ready to enjoy a sumptuous meal and a dessert (if you still have room)”

“Stella's is one of my favorite places for fish on Friday. They have it fried, broiled or grilled. Recently I was there and ordered mashed potatoes with my fish. I did not specify without gravy. When the waitress brought my dinner I was upset because it had gravy. She took them back to the kitchen. When she returned it seemed that I had more than before. Unfortunately I am allergic to gluten, which was in the gravy. For the last 2 days, I have been having symptoms related to eating gluten.”

“My husband and I go there often. We live in Binghamton NY and it quite a drive but usually worth it. Last night we were there and I was disappointed that they didn't have a carving station open. No ham,roast beef or turkey..That's what I really like..They had meatloaf on the hot bar but it looked like it had been there for a while. It was dried out and very hard... All the other stations were very good as usual...I just hope the next time we come the carving station will be open...”

“We were seated immediately even though there were a ton of vehicles in the parking lot. Had our drinks in less than 2 minutes of sitting down. Our food came in a timely manner. The waitress was attentive without being intrusive. The manager made a brief stop to see how we were enjoying our meal.
I had the Hibachi salmon with rice and steamed broccoli. Broccoli was a little too over streamed but that's my personal preference, otherwise everything was delicious. My partner had the French Onion burger that she enjoyed.
Great experience all around. My first time there. I'll be back!”
“Every bit of our experience was exceptional. The service, the food, from the start was on par and above. We for sure will be ready to do it again!!! Trevor was our server and he did a great job, but many others came to our table to tell us about everything and make the experience the best.”
