My son left his phone at the restaurant and didn't realize until we were almost home two hours away. The GM mailed the phone back to us so we wouldn't have to drive back. Thank you so much!“

“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!“

“I'm not a bar person anymore. With that being said the atmosphere was ok.. typical bar loudness. The waitress was super sweet knowledgable.

Now the food... the menu had a wide variety of choices from seafood to burgers.. our app was maple bourbon tempura Brussels sprouts.. they were amazing the sweetness against the Brussels was nice we also got a queso white chili was really good moderate spice.. Sandy had a cuse burger which had peppers onions bacon cheddar cheese and BBQ hot sauce.. the said the flavor was pretty good.. nice thick fresh burger!. I had Tazieky salmon rice and veggies. The peppers needed to be slice thinner and the cauliflower needed to be cooked they weren't edible..the rest of the veggies were amazing.
We then ordered the raspberry lemon cake..and it was just as described the simple syrup soak on the cake piece was nice. The buffalo trace bourbon coffee!!! Omg that's the smoothest bourbon!!!“

We will be back and we will request Brenda everytime!“

“If I could sum up my perfect dining experience by using one name, it would be Nola’s. It’s brick and cozy with perfect lighting… a small, quaint spot in a charming, picturesque town. The service was great… the staff, kind. The two of us ordered half the menu, but still can’t decide which plate was the best. The combination of flavors and textures was spot on and they know how to cook a steak perfectly. I can’t wait to go back and try the other half of the menu. Highly recommend Nola’s.“

“very very friendly. excellent food and service. good quantity and reasonable prices. highly recommend.“

It actually had ice cream and toppings!!! Not sure all the workers names, but it was 7/5/22 -9:30 pm. Thank you!!“

“We have been coming here for Easter for a long time..covid kept us away. Back today and everthing was awesome. Best waitress ever. Thank you for taking on the Yagers in the back room We all love you“

“Food is great, service was pretty good. Everything is made on location, even bread & desserts. Best restaurant in Rome, easily. I had a "lobster tail" for dessert (flaky pastry in shape of lobster tail filled with chocolate mousse). It was off-the-charts-GREAT. Go! Prices are very decent, food is great.“

“The family meal deal we had last night was a decadent treat! My picky young kids loveddd the riggies, meatballs, and caesar salad! We got the most delicious and well made pastries as well! They always check all the boxes! The service is alwayssss fantastic, space is homey and clean, it is a special place here in the mohawk valley! Thanks to this family for being such a wonderful staple in the community.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We have eaten in twice, and done takeout once, recently, and all three experiences were excellent. Our waitress/ cook was welcoming and attentive. Pizza was cooked perfectly, with ample toppings. We tried different flavors of wings each time, and the favorites were Everything, Sweet n’ Spicy, and Honey Barbecue. Highly recommend! We will be back soon!“

“I have the most best experience everytime I’m usually a regular and Kaleigh always is a pleasure to have as a bartender you need to go on ahead and give that girl a raise if you go to Apple bees look out for her she provides top tier service !!!“

“This is a great place for lunch meetings. I meet two of my good friends every two weeks here to enjoy the good food and to visit with Barb, excellent service!! I really like their homemade horseradish sauce, and fried pickle skewers as an appetizer! They have really good food and sizable portions.“

“🥜 Peanut allergy warning!
🥜 Peanut allergy warning!
🥜 Peanut allergy warning!

If you have severe peanut allergies, please be careful. There are three nut grinders on site. They are self serve, which means peanut particles may be getting into the air and peanut butter itself might find its way around the store on customers' hands. The same is potentially true of any nut products in the bulk dispensers.

Nevertheless, for the most part this is an absolutely fantastic store. It has all manner of things you can't easily find elsewhere... with 🌱 organic options, 🍅 vegan options, etc. etc. If you have a specialty diet, this store will probably have something for you. If you don't have a specialty diet, then the whole store is your oyster!

They have produce, self-serve spices, bulk coffee beans, tons of unique food and snacks, hygiene products, a cafe, and even a fun part in front of the store with homespun stuff like handwoven baskets and plastic-free brushes. This store really is a gem and I hope it persists for a long time. Kudos Team Cornucopia!“

“Outstanding food and service! It is very hard for me to find a great piece of tiramisu. Bella Cucina nailed it!“

“Awesome local spot! The staff, prices and vibe are all fantastic. It's a very welcoming spot for younger and older crowds 🤘🏻 Highly recommended.“

“My husband and I had a wonderful time at our friends baby shower. The food and customer service was outstanding! We had such a good time chatting with Chris at the bar- she and her wife Donna are amazing people! We highly recommend and look forward to going back again.“

“Usually like the food at Mr Gs - I ordered fried fish dinner. Fish was overcooked, coating so hard on bottom of the 2 pieces. The mashed potatoes very dark and dry. The cole slaw was gross, it didnt seem like cabbage, more like kale. Since it was comped I didnt say anything. My wifes brolied fish was ok. The menu is the same old, week in and week out. A prime rib is offered on Weds in December, but why not have prime rib on weekends? Anyways not good last nite but will go again.“

“Laufer’s has been a go-to date night spot for my wife and I for a while food is top notch! So good that we’ve been there 4 weeks straight for fish tacos during the lent season. Truly a hidden gem with the best food in the area Also, don’t leave without trying desert, you will never regret their deserts!“

“Great food and excellent rotating beer selection. Always friendly to both new and old customers.“

“We hosted the Rehearsal Dinner of our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding at The Mason Jar in April 2025. The atmosphere, decor, space and food offered us a relaxing and comfortable “night before” celebration! The staff was outstanding! So friendly and welcoming to our group. Joanne was so great to work with during planning and at the dinner. The bartender and wait staff were attentive and personable. Overall a great experience! Thank you!“

“Best experience I’ve ever had! My server Jackie was very attentive, fast, friendly, and emitted so much radiance and beauty. She made me feel so comfortable that I feel like I’ve known her FOREVER! Aside from the WONDERFUL service, the food was soooo DELICIOUS! 10000/10 experience for sure!!!“

“We had dinner at the Texas Roadhouse last night. First we signed up for the wait list and literally walked right in when we got there. Our waitress immediately came over to our table despite how busy they were and took our drink orders. I ordered an 8 ounce filet and my husband the 1lb prime rib both medium rare. They were cooked perfectly and so flavorful. The prices were amazing compared to other restaurants in the area. Excellent service, food and prices. We'll definitely be back soon.“

“Really good honey siracha chicken wings and generous serving of loaded tots!“

“If you have never been to Castlewood Cafe, now is the time! With higher prices and decreasing quality and every popular chain, Castlewood continues to offer their large menu, with same quality products! They have not changed that in this economy! My family chooses Castlewood over all the restaurants in this area! What’s more, the friendly smiles and excellent waiting staff! I strongly recommend this small mom and pop diner that has a menu to satisfy everyone, even the pickiest of eaters!“
