Noble Cellar 304 East Onondaga Street, Syracuse Salad • $$$$

“We had the pleasure of celebrating our anniversary at Noble Cellar on a busy Saturday evening, and it was amazing from the moment we walked in. The drinks were delicious, and we started with the spinach salad and oysters. Who knew a spinach salad could be so incredible? I’m still thinking about it. The combination of bacon egg yolk, confit mushroom, fried shallots, charred onion vinaigrette, tomato powder, and croutons made every single bite unforgettable. For my entrée, I had the flat iron, and it was cooked to perfection. The gorgonzola brûlée, blue cheese cavatelli, rainbow carrots, and pesto complemented the dish beautifully without making it feel heavy at all. The meat practically melted into the cheese, creating a richness and tenderness that was absolute bliss. My husband had the olive oil poached halibut with lentil stew, root vegetables, vadouvan, and ricotta salad. I was honestly surprised he chose the fish with so many incredible options on the menu, but truly, halibut has never tasted so good. Every element of the dish worked together perfectly. The moody, beautiful décor makes you feel like you’ve stepped out of Syracuse and into NYC or somewhere far beyond Central New York. We are lucky to have a place like this locally. The attention to detail, the service, and every single touch throughout the evening felt intentional and elevated. On our way out, we chatted with Rob, and what stood out most was seeing how he made time to genuinely welcome every guest coming in and personally say goodbye to people leaving. The care and hospitality felt authentic, and it added so much to an already exceptional experience. A truly memorable anniversary dinner, and we absolutely cannot wait to go back.”

“We hosted a bridal shower in 2024 and a baby shower in 2025 at The Cider Mill, and both experiences were absolutely wonderful. The food was incredible—truly out of this world—and our guests are still talking about it. At both events, multiple people told us it was the best shower they had ever attended because of how amazing the food was. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and Olivia, who we worked with while planning both events, was fantastic. She made the entire planning process so easy from start to finish—organized, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Everything felt seamless and completely stress-free. We highly recommend The Cider Mill for your next event, or even just for a fantastic dinner. You won’t be disappointed!”

Syracuse Halal Gyro 477 Westcott Street, Syracuse Fast Food • $

“Syracuse halal gyros food is 100/10… huge portions, reasonable prices, and absolutely delicious. They are open late which is great because there aren’t many options open late these days. When we picked up our order the gentleman behind the counter offered us a huge “sample” of chicken and rice so we could try their (new?) green sauce which was also delicious. I’d recommend this place to anyone and everyone.”

4.9 Superb435 Reviews

“I absolutely LOVE this place! I am so happy a loving environment like this exists. It’s such a wonderful way to spend time with furry loved ones. I instantly felt happy just being there around so many playful cats. I’m so surprised that they all seem to get along. All of the cats I’ve seen there are so calm and playful, or they are sleeping peacefully. It’s a wonderful, loving and clean environment for these feline friends to live or hopefully get adopted into new forever homes. I highly recommend paying them a visit. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable, too. 10 out of 10 stars for Pawsitivitea Syracuse! 😻”

The sauce was perfect as was the sauce. It was very delicious and will definitely be back again. I also want to say how great the service was. The waitress that took my order was very pleasant and professional. I had knee surgery a couple weeks ago and when I returned to pick up my order she carried it out to my car for me.

A young college student who just finished at a local community college and said she was considering continuing her education in business finance. I see nothing but success in this young girls future! She is professional, and appears to have a solid work ethic as well!

If you are a local, give this place a try. And if you are traveling from out of town and staying in the hotel, you have a really good place to eat right downstairs!

All the best Salt City Eatery and Isabella!!!”

Thai Thai Cuisine 3138 Erie Blvd E, Syracuse 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.”

Lakeland Winery 877 State Fair Boulevard, Syracuse Wineries • $$

“This place was great and it's an entire vibe. They encouraged us to come back with other people and hang out and play board games in their beautiful open space, and/or order food and have it brought there and make an evening of it.

They are so down to earth, and this is so surprising for how GOOD their wines are. I am a dry wine fan and those were excellent, but what I thought was interesting was that the sweet wines weren't overly sweet and were very drinkable and palatable. There is definitely something where for everyone.

Check out those by the glass prices!!! I'm coming here next time with friends!”

And, of course, the food was great too!

Cavalier Room 100 East Onondaga Street, Syracuse Bar • $$

“During a career that has kept me on the road for decades as a touring musician, I have logged more hotel nights and endured more “continental breakfasts” than I care to count. Buffets blur together after a while. This one did not. And the reason is Madee. I was seated at the far table in the M-Club of the Syracuse Marriott Downtown when, precisely at 6:15 a.m., the door from the back of the house opened. Before a single chafing dish appeared, it was already clear that Madee was cut from superior cloth. Her uniform was immaculately pressed, her posture confident, her movements deliberate and economical. There was a quiet professionalism to the way she set the breakfast line, golden chafing dishes placed with a near ceremonial calm. No wasted motion. No noise. Just focus, grace, and purpose. It was the kind of work ethic you recognize immediately if you’ve spent a lifetime watching people either take pride in what they do or simply punch the clock. She was pleasant to look at, physically fit, composed, and radiating a confidence that came not from showmanship but from competence. When she approached my table at exactly the right moment, just as I was finishing my plate of sausage, scrambled eggs, and fingerling potatoes, she greeted me warmly and said, “Good morning, sir. We’d like to present you with this complimentary gift bag for the holidays.” It was a small gesture, but delivered with such sincerity and polish that it landed squarely where hospitality should. I was genuinely charmed. My eggs, which had cooled only because I was busy writing this very review, seemed to perk right back up in her presence. She asked what brought me to town, listened attentively, and when I told her I was a Syracuse native home for Christmas from Florida, she acknowledged it with warmth and ease. The conversation ended exactly as it should have, gracefully, without lingering, as she returned to her breakfast station. From my seat, I overheard her greeting other guests with a level of polish that far exceeded her youth. Every guest received the same respect and attentiveness. Hotels can be beautiful. Lounges can be exclusive. Food can be well prepared. But it is people like Madee who elevate a stay from comfortable to memorable. She represents the very best of hospitality: quiet excellence, genuine courtesy, and pride in one’s work. If Marriott is wise, they will take note. Madee is a credit not only to the M-Club, but to the entire profession.”

We had two orders, but they are so big that we both only ate half (and took the remainder home) so you could easily be satiated with one order for two people. For our entrees we had Pad See Eiw with Beef and Pad Prig King with Chicken. Both dishes were very good and as far as the portions, we took home approximately half of both. We would both highly recommend this little gem. (Oh, and the bathrooms were very clean.)”

This is my first pausa latte this summer and it didn’t look as creamy as before and looks like it was almond milk added. Also I found that the service was way too slow. There were 3-4 baristas/behind the counter, no line, at 8am on a Tuesday, but the 3 people waiting for their drinks and myself have been waiting for nearly 20 minutes which caused me to be late to my meeting and I arrived with enough time (25 mins prior)”
