We all know Mondays can be tricky for eating out, and we decided on Copper Top this week. We…read morethought we'd have to wait, but we were sat immediately. Service was very friendly and efficient, and our server Darian did a great job of keeping our drinks full and empty dishes off the table. We all shared the hummus, and although t I didn't get a picture of it, please believe me when I say it was to die for! It had bruschetta on top and the pita had a garlic seasoning on it. So yummy! My mom and I shared a Thai peanut noodle dish and a Chinese chicken salad. Both were flavorful and the portions were generous. I went home with leftovers for both and I www fed for a whole extra meal. Another person in our party got a bang bang pasta dish and enjoyed it - again, large portions! The drink menu looked great but we weren't up for it that evening. Looking forward to going back and trying their variety or martinis. The restaurant was clean and nicely lit, however the music was a little loud. Dinner came out to about $70 for all of us before tip.

I was super excited to have dinner here and it did not live up to my expectations whatsoever... we…read moregot there and the speakeasy was closed for a privated event, which is completely fine. Drinks and food was being prepared and served in the core lounge instead and it was a mess to say the least. It took 30-40 minutes for our food to come out and when the Brie board first came out of the kitchen it was sat on the counter for another 10 minutes, leaving the Brie to have a film over the top and was no longer soft. The flatbread was a disappointment, there was no sauce on the pizza and it was just way too bland for the price.... The service was extremely slow with 3 people working and all the customers in the lounge seemed to be sitting around in the same situation that I was in. Won't be coming back...

This was my first time here along with my sister in law's. We came to celebrate her birthday, and…read moreso happy we've picked it. The atmosphere was relaxing with each level and their own vibes. We checked out the coffee lounge first and got espresso martini and chatted. The decor was a homey feel and I can see myself coming back meeting up with friends for coffee and catching up. Then we headed to the speakeasy and had the seasonal cocktails and just ordered salads and sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious. The salads and fries were simple and I like my "girl dinner" lol. I was told to come back for their brunch so that's on the list. The atmosphere and vibes were cozy, a great place to unwind and catch up or like us celebrate a special occasion. Both service in the coffee lounge and speakeasy were welcoming. I see that they host tons of events so I'll definitely have to check those out. Also can't wait to check out the rooftop lounge once they warmer weather returns. They are utilizing the space with bubble tents with reservations, so that's a fun idea. A cute and fun spot on Tipp hill to definitely check out.

We enjoyed the cabbage rolls and pierogi for the table and each got our own entrees. I personally loved the placki and will be coming back every time I'm in town. It was pretty busy at peak dinner time but we still got a table inside. The patio was pretty big too and an enjoyable space. The dessert was also phenomenal!! Highly recommend coming here if you want authentic Polish food.

What's wrong with Sam's chicken land? Nothing!…read more Still the reining Philly cheesesteak king in Syracuse. I think what makes these so good is their attention to detail even down to the fresh bread they make sure you get. They ask you specifically what you want on it and they don't mess up. You get the steak, cheese melted, hot peppers, of course, peppers, but hold the onions. The french fries are always outstanding so that rounds out an excellent lunch. They even make sure that these are fried to perfection before they serve them.

Sam's is a small little shop that you should make sure to keep your eye out to spot. We decided to…read moreget some chicken & a few sides when we visited. I can confidently say the chicken was delicious & was certainly crispy when they made it. Unfortunately by the time we got home (maybe 15 minutes away) the chicken & fries had to be put in the air fryer to get their crisp back because of the condensation since the food was packaged so hot. I didn't care for the macaroni salad as it was more mayo than flavor. The chicken was well seasoned however & if we stop by again we would probably just order that.

I sat at the counter and my server was great... very friendly and happy I was there. I got there around 7:30AM and it was basically dead, but by the time I left, there was a steady line of folks coming in. Their menu has all the typicals that these places have, many things I enjoy. I tried their corned beef hash (which I requested well-done with jalapeños added), scrambled eggs with cheese, and I also got a side of their breakfast potatoes with sausage gravy on top. The food came out quickly and was piping hot & freshly made. The quantity of potatoes for a single side dish were HUGE! Definitely enough to share. The scrambled eggs were PERFECTLY made! I'm an egg snob, I never want any over-cooked egg visible (no brown) and these were perfectly colored and tasted great. The corned beef hash was good as well. Overall, I enjoyed this visit and I would most definitely return!

I got the sausage gravy over home fries for the first time and I have never had anything like it - it was warm and salty and had a nice crunch with the cooked home fries.

There were a lot of people but the noise level was great and everyone seemed to be having a yummy and amazing time.

"Lakeside" means there is a lake somewhere or a canal, but don't imagine looking out at water and twinkling light. The outdoor porch is roadside; the interior kinda sports bar with goth art vibe. We ordered a pizza--don't make that mistake. The ultra-thin cauliflower was great, but the little blobs of cheese dabbed on top of red sausage with a couple of anemic bits of tomato do not a margarita pizza make. The nachos were tasty-ish, but the cheese had a cheese-whizz vibe, and they grew downright soggy as you hit the bottom layer. Service was good and friendly, but ultimately, it's the food you come for, and the food did not impress.

My kids and I ended up here after trying another diner that was so busy there was no parking. We…read morewere able to find parking, and 15-20 minutes wait list. They were swamped so the short wait seemed unlikely. But in fact we were seated and provided menus and waters. This is a classic no frills diner. Retro feel with large diner menu selection. I had a combination platter that was huge, bagel egg and cheese, steak and eggs, and we shared a waffle drizzled with chocolate and cinnamon. Everything was tasty and came out in a timely manner. Friendly service, getting the bill and boxes at the end of meal was a bit of a lull. But for a holiday it was overall very accommodating with no reservations! They offer a full diner lunch menu as well.

We went savory this time: breakfast burrito and steak-n-eggs. My wife had iced coffee and I ordered coffee with cream. Amy questioned my order and wanted to make sure I wanted coffee with cream. I said, " Yes, absolutely " She brought me coffee with whipped cream. We had a good laugh over my deafness and apparent mumbling. Meals arrived quickly: burrito was big but not imposing. Very yummy, Steak was of low quality and thin , which is always a cook's challenge to prepare. Nothing special but adequate. Eggs were perfect and the sourdough toast was extra delicious. All made for a satisfying meal at a good price ( given prices are elevated everywhere these days). Highly recommend a stop here .
