The menu is seasonal and changes regularly depending on what the chef has on hand. You can always expect a good selection of sandwiches, burgers, pasta, salads, and fresh seafood. It's delicious elevated American fare. The servers are very kind and attentive, they're patient every time I inform them of my gluten sensitivity and ask questions. I like this spot because you really can't go wrong with one of their interesting salads! I loved the grilled romaine, zucchini, and fennel salad with chicken. I also really enjoyed the roast chicken from a different dinner. My partner likes their classic burger enough to get it both times we visited. Their chocolate torte is a great gluten free dessert. Rileys is a Syracuse staple worth enjoying with family and friends.

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.

I got a basil strawberry martini and it was super refreshing!

The bar tender wasn't the nicest and almost seemed annoyed that we were there :( don't know if I'll be coming back.

Locating Thompson Road Tavern online, it looked like a good place to go... and we weren't wrong! The tavern is small, featuring a bar with several tables in 2 separate rooms.

I wasn't thrilled with my salad, but the dirty fries more than made up for it. My boyfriend enjoyed his burger and beer. Should we return to Syracuse, we'll be back!

My buddy and I walked in to a rather empty bar with a very nice bartender who greeted us. Started with a Sierra Nevada Hazy IPA which was cold and in a chilled glass. They had 50 cent wings so we ordered up a dozen hot. They came out, looked pretty good but were not hot. Temp wise they were great but not hot so I asked what other sauces they had. They bought out: Hot sauce Gojuchang Pineapple jalapeño vodka hot sauce Mango habanero tequila hot sauce I tried all the sauces but kept going back to a combo of the mango habanero and gojuchang, it was addictive. These were so good that we got another dozen and I ordered a switchback ale to wash it down. The bartender and her mom the owner did everything to thoroughly show us a great time and we appreciated their good company and some great beer and wings. Try this place if you haven't, try it again if you have. If the wings were hotter (spicier), I could see myself going 5 stars, they did a great job

Calling it a diner may not be fair, but based on the prices and the food, I would say it is closer to diner fare than anything else. This is not to say it is not good. The garlic bread served before dinner was excellent, and was refilled with no problem. I tried the haddock dinner. The fish was meh and served with a side of pre-packaged tartar. Everyone else at my table had some variant of italian: chicken parm, stuffed shells, and ravioli. The chicken parm was basically chicken fingers covered in a red sauce with some mozzarella cheese...not very inspired. The cheese ravioli and stuffed shells looked and tasted very good. Two of my compadres ordered dessert - french silk pie and apple dumpling some thing or another - both looked good. For 4 of us, with 2 beers, a round of sodas, and 4 meals (including salads), and 2 desserts it came to $67 - not bad. If you're looking for a hole in the wall in Canastota (not known for fine dining anyway), the Three Pines will suit you just well.
