Fantastic, as usual. This time we were here with party of 8 for a friend's birthday, and I made the reservation for my friend. Everyone at motus was super accommodating, from being able to change the party size last-minute to handling dietary issues with complete ease - and even adding a surprise treat for the birthday person. Highly recommended dining spot whether it's for one of their fantastic burgers with spot-on cocktails or celebrating a special occasion with a 3 course (or more) thoughtfully prepared dinner and recommended wines.

We had a terrific meal. The food and service were excellent. The serving was well paced from the amuse bouche to dessert. The pork chop Milanese is delicious.

Motus has the highest quality restaurant food in the area. Any other restaurant leaves us feeling bloated from cheap ingredients. Motus is the only local restaurant that has not fallen victim to cutting corners. Service is top notch too. The environment great. They even accommodate little children. Very impressive.

Their fixed price menu is always an experience ! The food is outstanding and the staff is truly professional. Great time and always our favorite place for special occasions.

My family couldn't have been more happier with our meals and the staff! Highly recommend this restaurant you won't be disappointed
Khristian
Amazing food and service. We went over thanksgiving weekend to avoid a crowd and it was busy but not packed. The best time to go and have a convo with your friends and enjoy amazing food.
Chris
Pasta was very bad. Not made correctly and barely cooked. Sent three of the 4 meals back. For the expense, I would have thought food like that wouldn't be served.
Michael
A truly fantastic meal. Took and old friend here, we did the tasting menu. Food was great. As a fellow chef it was easy to notice the attention to detail and the many extra steps taken to provide such high quality food.
Scott
Always a fantastic meal and great service, the food is always creative and full of flavor, cocktails are on point and the wait staff is always fun and attentive

Could not have been more wonderful! The cocktails, the salad, the entrees, the service, the ambience--just GREAT. A few specifics: my Manhattan (with St. Lawrence NY Rye Knot) was one of the--if not THE--best I've ever had. My wife's strip steak and my pork chop Milanese were both to die for. And our server was extremely attentive and accommodating and efficient. This place is fabulous. If you're looking for fine dining in Utica, check out MOTUS! We will return whenever we're in town.
Five stars isn't enough for how good the wait staff are. The food is always perfect.

Motus recently catered our wedding and went above and beyond our expectations. Alicia and JD were so patient with us during this entire process and accommodated multiple dietary restrictions amazingly. A guest who works for a catering company out of Rochester was gushing over the food.

This was one of the best meals my husband and I have had! We chose the prix fix menu and enjoyed everything we ate. Our server was wonderful and attentive. They also gave us complimentary champagne because we were celebrating. The atmosphere was very relaxed and made it so you could enjoy a fancy meal to celebrate a special occasion but also not stuffy so you could just swing by for a weeknight meal as well. I would absolutely come back again.
