We went for dinner on Valentine's Day and had such an amazing experience! We made reservations ahead of time and were seated right away -- no wait at all. The restaurant was beautifully set up for the holiday, with a great atmosphere and a thoughtfully curated drink menu. I ordered the Toxic Ex-presso Martini, and WOW -- it was incredible. Absolutely one of the best espresso martinis I've had. For appetizers, we got the Thai chili tossed Brussels sprouts with garlic aioli, and they were to die for. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and flavorful -- honestly, I could've just eaten that and been happy! For dinner, I had the Chicken Française, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My husband ordered the fish and chips and said the tartar sauce was some of the best he's ever had. My son got the shrimp tacos topped with pineapple pico and served with homemade chips -- sooo good! We ended the night with dessert (because how could we not?): a layered brownie and cookie dough cake and a maple crème brûlée. Both were phenomenal and the perfect sweet ending. We've been here for brunch before and now for dinner, and both experiences have been fantastic. I cannot wait to go back and try something new! Highly recommend! read more

Brian's Landing landed from Green Lakes to Jamesville, which is a good thing for Jamesville. There is a parking lot in back. They make a great espresso martini. Had the fried fish which was panko crusted and delicious. Had lunch here on a Saturday where you order off their dinner menu read more

Okay, I did not realize its location! Aren't the best places always the smallest? The BYO bloody was truly a treat, definitely a top bloody l've had around Syracuse. We also tried all 3 of the Martinis - fav was tiramisu! Then 3 of us got the banana bread french toast, which was a great twist on both dishes, and one got the hash, which was filling but lacked flavor and some crunch. Overall, would definitely try again to see how their lunch looks! read more

We love brunch at Brian's Landing! The menu is so creative and ever changing. There are so many fun cocktails, it is tough to choose. We went with the tried and true espresso martinis and an orange squeeze the day cocktail and both were so good. I had the hot Halloumi toast with avocado and it was amazing. Perfectly grilled halloumi drizzled with hot honey and fresh basil on top of a thick layer of avocado. My daughter had the short rib hash & eggs with charred poblano and caramelized onions, such great flavors and always a favorite. read more

We came here for Sunday brunch to celebrate my birthday and we are so happy we did! It was packed around 12, but we only had to wait about 20 min for our table. There was live music by a beautiful singer, who played the entire 2 hrs we were there and was perfection for the ambience. As for the food... OH MY, it was so delicious! I ordered the banana bread French toast, and also tried their take on eggs Benedict- a giant potato puff with pork belly and the most delectable sauce. YUM! It was a great experience overall, the service was excellent, and it is a wonderful place to catch up and celebrate with friends. Can't wait to come back when it is warmer to enjoy their outdoor patio. read more

Service excellent. Although no reservations have never had to wait for more than 10 minutes. Friendly bar with music. Have never had a bad meal! read more

Been to Brian's Landing twice now. Once in the evening and once around noon. The food is pretty good, service is better when they are busy. When I went around noon no one was at the door to greet costumers. I waited with my party for several minutes until I went to look for someone. Once I found them things were fine. Service was ok and so was food. They would definitely get 5 stars if it wasn't for having to look for staff who were too busy chatting in the back. read more

Always amazing! We arrived at 9:45 and waited in line till opening it was a full house on Mother's Day we put our name in and told it was a 45 minute wait found a spot at the bar and enjoyed out customized bloody Mary's and ManMosa (Orange juice, vodka, and champagne). I really like the way the hostesses were able to not overwhelm the servers by seating all their sections at once we were sat in about 30 minutes and drinks and food flowed in a very timely manner. Our server was great we tried the monkey bread and Brussels as an appetizer and there was so much food the 5 of us did not make a dent in it. Three of us chose the eggs Benedict, which came on a smashed potato patty, very filling and flavorful. One of our diners had the boozy French toast, and the smash burger! Everyone loves their meal. For such a small place, we were worried when the entertainment started, but the tone was perfect. He played at a perfect sound level and was fabulous! don't let the lines out the door scare you away. It's definitely worth the wait and they do move very quickly! Great job Brian's Landing for making a perfect Mother's Day. read more

Joanna was so friendly and gave us excellent service. Kudos to the chef, always an excellent meal!!

My boyfriend and I went here to try somewhere new. We both ordered burgers and they were $20 for Burger King quality- also we ordered beers but they didn't come until we were half done with our meals. The waitress Joanna was abysmally rude to us and literally walked away from me while I was in the middle of ordering. She checked on us once and seemed in a hurry to turn the table even though it was Thursday at 6 pm and there were only 3 other tables being occupied in our section. This is the first and last time we'll be visiting- hope the owners can hire some nicer staff and a better cook if they want to charge $60 for 2 burgers and 2 beers. read more

We went here for the first time on a Saturday afternoon and we were seated right away, our waitress was good, food was pricey and just ok (Caesar was fine but nothing special, lobster roll was good but small portion and fries were a little soggy), drinks were pricy as well but probably the highlight, may try back for brunch. read more

Have been here for dinner once before and was very good. They have a good amount of inside seating and they also have a deck for outdoor seating. Went recently for brunch. Service was great. They had live music in the bar area which was nice. For food: We ordered an espresso martini flight which was good. We got the breakfast poutine which was yummy and filling. So many good options on the menu it was hard to pick the main but I went with Huevos rancheros which was good but came with tortilla chips instead of a tortilla which was good but felt more like a breakfast nacho. My husband got the pancake benny with pork belly and he liked that a lot. Will definitely be back. Likely the best brunch in town. read more

Never been here before. A really nice dining room plus plenty of al fresco seating. I had the roasted Brussels with pork belly. Huge portion. Good for sharing Lovely crisp sprouts in a a dark rich sauce. I thought I could detect balsamic and soy but whatever it was, it was delicious. Looking forward to going back to try some of the other interesting options. read more

Great location. Always busy. Always great food. One thing that is disappointing though.... It is already not cheap and when requested some dressing for the greens that came with the lobster roll they charged us 50cents and did not tell us in advance. Might sound small but it was surprising they really wanted that money for a small amount of dressing. Tacky. read more

Brian's Landing is a beautiful restaurant with a modern farmhouse feel. The staff were simply exceptional! Truly, everyone was so very kind. I dined here on a Sunday for brunch (they only serve brunch on Sunday's). They offer a nice size menu with many options starting from appetizers, salads, main entrées and desserts to choose from. They also have a full bar (mimosas galore). We ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, as well as their mimosa flights (such a great concept). Drinks and appetizers came out quickly, which was soon followed with the main entrees. My favorite item was the candy pig. My lord, this was truly the best "bacon" I have ever eaten. I believe it's more along the lines of country ham, but hey, good pork is good pork! This restaurant is perfect for all occasions. Ladies night, date night, or family dinner. read more

One of the best places in the area!! Food is always delicious and made to order. They have daily specials and certain offers depending on the day. Last night was burger and brew night. They offer brunch on Sundays. There is live music on the weekends as well. During the nice weather they have a patio for outdoor seating. It's very cozy inside for when it cools off. There's also a bar area if you prefer that. The staff are awesome!! There's always a seasonal cocktail menu that's insta-worthy and the homemade desserts are a must. read more

Unfortunately, my children and I celebrated Mother's Day here. First of all, they did not take reservations, secondly, we had to wait almost 2 hours outside before we were seated. After receiving our food, I was disgusted at the smashed potatoes. They had been fried more than twice, and inside the crust was hardly any potato. However, the quiche was quite good. This is not a place you would want to come to celebrate a special function. read more

Cozy modern ADK like ambiance with amazing food! Went for a girls brunch and the drinks and food was delicious! We loved the choices so we tried a bunch of different ones! The banana bread French toast was amazing! read more

Had a pretty rough meal here for the first time in a long time. The food took an extraordinarily long time to come out without much acknowledgment from the servers and when it did it was underwhelming. Ceasar salad is still good. But was pretty disappointed in the overall meal and experience. read more

Great food and spirits. Long waits but worth it. My favorite dish is the salmon. So good!

Never disappoints- always a fun seasonal and classic cocktail menu. I had the chef's burger special and it was incredible. There are also specialty tacos each week! Lobster roll comes toasted and salmon looks so fresh. There is a huge variety of dishes on the menu and of course special desserts every week:) read more

My wife and I were out last night for our anniversary dinner and went to Brians landing. The food was not up to our standards. I had scallops and only received three scallops and my wife's dish od stuffed flowered was just soaked in butter. The prices were way too high for the poor quality of food. Will not return to this restaurant read more

Stopped in for a solo dinner traveling for work. Food and bartender were fabulous. Get the maple pork ribeye 10/10.

Went for brunch and the food and drinks were really good. The goat cheese app was amazing. I will say I don't love that no prices are shown on the drink menu, so beware that the espresso martini flight is about $37. Also they had a really weird TV show playing. read more

Finally came back to this place. Excellent again. Their cocktails are so superior, especially for people who like sweeter drinks. Strong, but not too alcoholic tasting, expert flavors, great execution. Highly recommend the newest smash burger they have on the menu. It was one of the best burgers I've had. Excellent service. Beautiful patio! read more

Had an amazing meal (lobster roll) and appetizer from here and I will definitely be back again soon! Service was decent. Not much of a view, but they create a warm and enjoyable environment for their location by a busy corner. read more

This was our 3rd visit and I can easily rate this as the top eatery in Syracuse - No joke! The food, the drinks, the staff.....All second to none in this area. Tonight we sat at the bar and had many lively concoctions. Amongst our favorites: Death by Chocolate, Espresso Martini, and a Straight Martini. All wonderful. We had the new Lobster Croquette appetizer to start, and the 2 specials(Curried Pork Shank and Swordfish), finishing up with homemade desserts of Key Lime Pie and Cheescake. All simply stunning meals. The staff should be a lesson for all in how customer service should be: The level of attentiveness is simply off the charts. The manager was moving around in a happy fervor to ensure the utmost quality to the experience as well. Don't miss out on a visit here. Sunday Brunch is also amazing. Live music every time we've been, including the always great Jess Novak band! read more

Classic! Been here twice & it's definitely that classic spot to get a boozy brunch with the gang. The staff there are so nice even on Mother's Day when things were crazy & they still provided a timely service with a smile. Also, if you're there when the weather is right, enjoy the outdoor seating. Trust me. The woody view is just so relaxing. read more

Checked out brunch today! We got there close to 10:00 and did not have to wait for a table, but the restaurant was running on a wait shortly after we got seated. We started out with the "Build your own Bloody Mary" which was fun and tasty, fairly priced too. We are vegetarian and there are limited options on the menu. We were happy to hear that there was a vegetarian quiche on special and that the huevos rancheros had a vegetarian option. Food was okay, though the black beans in huevos rancheros dish were very undercooked and inedible. Overall the staff is friendly/attentive, drinks are good, but the food not worth the price point. read more

Incredible Galentine's day Brunch! The ambiance is the perfect blend of rustic chic inside. The minute you walk in the smells of the fabulous food hits and you know it's going to be a great experience. The live music on the weekend was the perfect touch to add to the atmosphere. All of the staff was so friendly and attentive. The monkey bread melted in your mouth and the sauce was so flavorful. The specials were out of this world as was the classic short rib hash. We'll be back again for the sides of smashed potatoes alone. Can't wait to come back for dinner! read more

We had a lovely brunch on the outside patio. We requested a shady spot and our wish was granted. I ordered an Espresso Martini flight with my huevos rancheros. The martinis were delicious!!! The chips in my brunch choice were slightly seasoned and fresh. The short rib was tender and satisfying. I enjoyed my dish immensely! I was disappointed with the French toast. Presentation was lovely but the bread was mushy. I usually take my bread out the day before and let it dry before I make French toast. The prices were reasonable but,,,,, I would have skipped the flight had I known the price prior to ordering. My bad. I should have asked before ordering. I would definitely go back for another brunch or even a dinner. Service was adequate but the waitress forgot to bring us our side order of potatoes and my dining companion chased her down to remind her. read more

Went here for brunch with a friend and had a hard time deciding what to eat which means I'll have to go back and try different things off this menu! Ordered: cinnamon roll French toast and mimosa flight split with my friend. I chose the mango and melon flavors This French toast was perfect! Almost like a Cinnabon roll with blueberries on the plate and the potatoes were a perfect crisp. My friend ordered the breakfast Mac and cheese which I tried a bite of and live the large noodles and perfect combo of cheese. Sweet and savory options galore. Will be back! read more

Had never been. Solid food and fun live music, great service and atmosphere. Would come again.

I can't believe I have been living in Syracuse for years and have waited so long to try out this restaurant. It's phenomenal. We went all out and got a few drinks, appetizers, main course, and dessert. I have no negative comments about any of it. The caprese dip was recommended by the waitress and we will definitely get it again the next time we visit. The staff was so friendly as well that you can tell they love their job and the food they serve read more

Bad long wait and rude hostess. Good- food and nice vide surroundings I don't have anything else to say this was Mother's Day and they never even posted that they change the menu so when I got in there after waiting such a long time, they didn't even have anything that I wanted on the menu and then I ordered and they didn't even have the flavors I like because they did a Mother's Day. I didn't even see them advertise that or tell anyone that that's what they were going by online. read more

Been a few times for Sunday brunch. Each time less and less impressed. The space is aesthetically pleasing, and the food is fine. Service is decent and sometimes warm. Ultimately, it's a good place to socialize and get your booze on. Live music is hit or miss. Drink menu exponentially more inspired than cuisine. For the price point, I'd like to see more attention given to the food. And training young host staff in equitable service. read more

The food and service exceed what you might expect at first glance. The setting is a little cramped and loud, but overall a good experience and nice option to have close to Home. read more
