Last review was 7 years ago and Scenic Root is still out here doing their thing and doing it well…read more We've been going since the early days and it's one of those places you just know is going to be good every time. I ordered the tropical salmon and was side eyeing the coconut a little, but wow... it all came together perfectly. Sweet, tangy, and the salmon was cooked exactly right. Service never disappoints, and whoever was behind the bar deserves a shoutout because that blackberry margarita was dangerous. I went back for round two and I'm not sorry about it. Dessert was a dense chocolate cake that didn't even last long enough for a photo, which says everything. Consistently good food, fabulous drinks, and a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like family.

I have had Scenic Root on my "must go" list forever it seems, so was excited to finally check it…read moreout. We had an amazing meal and definitely made for a great date night! We ordered the bang bang shrimp appetizer, and the batter was so crispy and also fluffy (almost like a battered haddock but lighter) - awesome! The bang bang sauce has great flavor, but slightly too mayo forward for my preferences - but ate it up nonetheless and would get them again! I also ordered a blackberry margarita- which I will say was strong, but the flavors were great. When I asked if they minded giving me a couple Slices of lemon and some simple syrup (and yes I admitted that it was a ME problem, not that they made it poorly- it was just stronger and I'm a big wimp!) , they promptly, no questions asked said "we got this" and put the drink back in the shaker and added some simple syrup (mind you I was totally fine with just a little shot glass of it to dump in my drink!) - so the willingness to be so helpful was very appreciated. As for our entrees, one of us ordered the Cajun Alfredo and one of us ordered the Tropical Salmon, both were made incredibly well, and the flavor and seasoning was fantastic! The Alfredo sauce when I tried it was lovely, not so thick and "artery clogging" as some Alfredo can be, but coated the noodles beautifully and packed a flavorful punch. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the pineapple and coconut in the rice made for an amazingly delicious dish. We were also fortunate to sit at a window overlooking the swan pond and then take a nice walk around the pond. So lovely- cannot wait to go back!!

They went above and beyond as did all the staff to make sure the night ran smoothly. I ordered the Utica Greens as part of the buffet and was a bit nervous as my DIL and her family are from Utica but they raved about them. Maria decorated the space with twinkling lights and it was so pretty ! I would highly recommend having an event there as I felt like I was treated as part of their family.

I got a basil strawberry martini and it was super refreshing! Unfortunately the basil was extremely overpowering and there was little to no strawberry taste, keep that in mind if you plan on getting one! We got the nachos for a little snack and they're were definitely loaded!! The toppings were mostly great, the chicken just tasted super fake and chewy. The bar tender wasn't the nicest and almost seemed annoyed that we were there :( don't know if I'll be coming back.

So glad they are back open. Service Speed: Last weekend…read morewas so busy and definitely a getting back on their feet night. People seem to forget that the servers, bartenders and cooks are human. My favorite part of Persimmons is that the service isn't super fast. It so nice to just sit and enjoy conversation and not feel like you are being rushed. One time at brunch our server told us to just flip our table topper upright when we were ready to order so that we didn't feel rushed. Food: I love the menu! My husband loved the catfish. Truffle fries are amazing. Brussel sprouts are delicious. I have not tried the calamari yet but have seen several people order and rave about it. It looks amazing. Super odd but I'm obsessed with the grilled chicken on the salad. It's literally cooked to perfection every time! The house salad dressing is amazing. Ooo and the wings. The Georgia bbq has just the slightest peach flavor. It's so good. Compliments to the new chef! I'm really excited to see what else he brings to the menu. Drinks: probably the highlight for me. The bartenders are amazing!! Charlie, Sienna, and Azalea are amazing! Overall: how about that manager!!! I just love him! He works so hard to make sure every guest feels special and taken care of. So thankful to have such a nice welcoming place to spend a Friday evening at.

The food has always been " top Sysco" truck stuff - kind of like an Applebee's or something. I don't even know how to put my finger on it. Maybe it's the smaller menu due to 'Rona. Maybe they have a new chef - but WOW!! They've really stepped up their game! The Spinach and Artichoke Dip app was handmade. It wasn't some overly creamed out of a can dip. The ingredients were big and tasty! In fact, I only really have pictures of the after because we ate it so fast! The wife had her usual Steak Salad and the steak was done better than ever. I nervously ordered the Reuben - knowing full well in upstate NY it often is devoid of anything but a tiny bit of Sauerkraut. Everything on this Sammie was perfect NYC grade. The corned beef had a smoky hint to it. The cheese and thousand island dressing were perfectly portioned. The Mac salad side had this amazing mustard taste to it. Drinks were great. Staff picked up on us quick even though we were sitting on a packed deck next to a fairly demanding large party. Always nice and always trying to please. Did I mention the view? We love it so much we literally just bought a house that shares a border with this golf course with the same view! If you are in the area, is it Beak and Skiff, have a tasting, but for sure eat and enjoy the sunset at the Loft! This is a must visit.

We started with the New England clam chowder and it was amazing! My husband got the chefs choice which was the short rib, the mashed potatoes were bland but otherwise great plate. I got the Jamin sunset burger which was amazing, messy but so good! Danielle is our favorite waitress there, she is always so attentive and makes every visit a pleasant one. We will definitely be back next season!
