I've been to Oh My Darlings a few times and have always had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately this was not the case at this visit. I did have a reservation and was seated immediately, but the waitress made it clear that it was going to be a busy night and my party needed to hurry so the restaurant could accommodate everyone. That immediately set the tone for the evening and ruined the dining experience altogether. She came to check to see if we were done at least three times. We definitely felt rushed. And the worst part was, the dining room wasn't even half full. There was plenty of seating available. Sadly, she ruined my opinion of the place and I likely won't be back. And as a side note- we did order cheesecake for dessert and I'm pretty sure it was just a thawed cake from a store with chocolate cake frosting on the top. ??

We had such a friendly and nice waiter. We were able to sit earlier than our reservation for brunch and we got the main room which has way more ambience. The brunch blows away dinner even though i like their dinner options too. This is a staple of ours whenever we come to town.

Nice experience for a party of 11. Seated right away and greeted by waiter. Food was timely and everyone left full. Salmon dish was large, but had a few too many components. Overall recommend to others.

We had Josh as a server and he was great! Very attentive and welcoming. Food was absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection and any changes asked for on dinner were provided without question. The poutine for a starter was phenomenal and the Mac and cheese is out of this world!

The food and service were excellent. I reserved a table for outdoor dining, but we ended up having to sit inside. The noise level inside the restaurant was awful. We almost left, but the host sat us toward the back of the restaurant where it was little quieter. I am glad we stayed because the food was quite good.

It was unusually crowded and noisy but the value, service and food were good as usual. The tortilla on the mahi mahi taco had a funny smell but the dish was otherwise delicious. The brussel sprouts side on the chicken were a big hit.

The 4 of us shared a great spinach appetizer and all ordered different dinners. Everybody loved their food. Then we went downstairs to hear a great Jazz Band. ESP with Kirsten. Fun night.

Lamb sliders served with burned, charred black buns. This kind of attention to detail is telling. It is easy to see you burned the bun when toasting, and easy to fix. That you went ahead and served these tells much about priorities. Also, friend chicken sandwich was overcooked, and bartender was doing shots with customers while the waiter was asking him if he was going to make our drinks (literally could read his lips saying that from across the room). Our waiter was excellent though.

This lovely cafe was so kind to seat us for a late brunch which we enjoyed very much. Our server Brandon was a delight even at the end of a long day, I believe, at 3:45 pm on Sunday. My husband's farmer's omelette was fluffy and tasty. My Aperol Spritz was yummy and just right. I got a burger with a sunny side up egg and truffle fries. They were both so flavorful and really hit the spot. We were so full no desserts, but we will certainly be back. Thank you all.

My husband and I ordered Benedicts (classic for him and salmon for me) but the Portuguese muffins were hard and we couldn't even cut them with our knives so we just left them on the plates. Otherwise, food and drinks were great and our server was attentive.

What a wonderful experience, our second year in a row, taking my daughter back to SU. We came back the next day as well for a glass at the bar, and all staff was amazing. Looking forward to coming back soon when back in NY.

We came at a busy time during Syracuse freshman move in. We had a reservation and only had a slight wait as they cleared table for us. The waiter was friendly and the food was good. Nice selection on the menu. Recommend for a nicer dinner out.

We were told upon arrival that we would be limited to 90 minutes which would have been fine had they not brought our simple appetizers out a full 40 minutes after ordering. Despite being half full, the food took forever to arrive. Service was lacking. Too bad because it's a charming place. I should add this was our third visit and experience has been the same each time.

We were there to celebrate a retirement and had reservations. We were greeted at the door promptly. Matt was our waiter. He was wonderful. Food was great. It was busy so it was a bit loud but overall a great day
