A real struggle on graduation weekend:…read more Party of 12, Saturday night. We were told that it wasn't going to be a prix fixe menu as we were a party of under 12 when the reservation was booked (we asked). It was. Selection was somewhat limited particularly for the vegetarians but the waitress said that they could swap veggies in for the trout in the risotto. They didn't. It was just risotto. Potato leek soup. So salty that it was inedible. Like sea water salty. Three of us sent it back. NY Strip. Boring and clearly hadn't been seasoned before cooking (ironic). Not quite cold but really, really close. A little tiny ramekin of chimichurri sauce which I was supposed it make it interesting or tasty I guess. It was neither. The whipped potatoes were delicious. Desert was a borderline interminable wait. And then they served gelato and sorbet to four of us. Think milkshake. A thin, runny milkshake, approaching soup. The food runners and waitress were so embarrassed they couldn't look at us when they dropped the desert and ran. Who lets ice scream, posing as soup out of the kitchen. It used to be a quaint little place with fantastic food ... And now, an overpriced, industrial'ish place with sub-par food (although the owners are clearly cashing out, leaning on its prior reputation). Unfortunate. $85 a head, $1,500 all in with drinks and tip.

This place never disappoints. Especially their Sunday boozy brunch. We stopped here and met some…read morefriends on our way home. I had some bacon eggs with home fries. I mean, you can't screw that up but it always hits the spot!! Service was okay - the waitress always seemed in a rush and didn't have time for us and to refill drinks but she was busy. As for the ambiance they really did a great job at remodeling the place.

Traveling through Utica looking for a place for dinner. Stopped at one place. It was so loud. We…read moredidn't even stay. ended up here at babes. Incredibly welcoming staff good music, but quiet enough that I could have a conversation with my husband across the table. we both ordered salads really delicious and we have enough for a whole other meal if not more! Dorothy, our server was just adorable and so friendly and accommodating. And when the hostess heard that our friend's name was, Babe she came over and brought me a whole bunch of stickers! If we ever find ourselves in Utica again, we will stop back in.

Steve the bartender is great, very social and helpful with your drink selection We sat at the bar but ordered the fried bologna and long hots. The sandwich came out on a crispy toasted bread loaded with fried bologna and peppers...it was awesome! And the fries, nice and crispy!! What an awesome pub We decided to stay for dinner. Ordered 2 burgers, Lebanese platter and the Reuben!!!! Amazing!

Wow I am so excited to share this review! What an amazing experience we had at this restaurant…read more Welcomed with a friendly greeting & beautiful smile, Chase offered us a comfy booth. Then greeted by Kyle our waiter who was awesome! So classy, and so prompt, great service, suggestions, check backs, fantastic! Now the food! The bang bang cauliflower was delicious. Crispy outside, tasty seasoning, tender cauliflower. Outstanding salads with tender chicken on the Caesar salad and the shrimp was perfectly cooked on the Asian salad with crisp mixed lettuce and a sweet savory dressing. Kudos to the chef or chefs. One of the best restaurants! We will be back! Hoping to sit on the outdoor patio that I am sure is wonderful in a nice day. They also have a private room for special events. A fantastic drink menu is a bonus.

A huge thank you to Devin and the entire staff--they were absolutely wonderful and so attentive to every detail. We felt so well taken care of all night. It's another party for the books!

Our Sever/Bartender was phenomenal! Very attentive even though she had a full bar of patrons. I had…read morethe Loaded Potato Skins. They were ok. Not the best, not the worst. The best part was the Irish bacon on them. My husband had the Philly Steak. It was good but bland he said. One of our friends had the New England chowder. She said it was good. Our other friend had the fish sandwich but didn't eat all of it. He said it didn't taste great. Everyone loved the fries. The atmosphere is not warm and cozy. It's rather sparse. But the bar patrons seemed happy and the bar area was more warm feeling in terms of ambiance. So if you and some friends want a place to grab a pint and have a burger, I'd recommend it but I wouldn't recommend anything we ate.

Solid pub/tavern food. Service was quick and the ambience is suitable for its location.read more

Are they a real business? They serve food before hockey games. Seems fishy. They have lot of TV's…read moreand decent atmosphere--almost like Utica's best sports bar--that's open ten days a year. I don't know whether to be excited or look at it as a great place to launder money. The food is ok but don't even get excited or think about going there. They're closed.

Bartender is rude and nasty. Went there with my friend she said our ids were fake and passed out…read moreour ids asking older individuals their opinion if they were real or not .. im 22 my friend is 23.. extremely unprofessional, rude, and crazy how she can't tell the difference between a real and a fake id never had this issue in my life. said she wasn't familiar with our address. (Both living within 15ish minutes of the location) I asked why she didn't have a scanner or anything to determine our ids. wasted over 60 dollars to Uber there to meet another friend. if you're not an older individual or a "local" don't waste your time or your money there. not worth it. I understand the ny state policy but this was embarrassing, rude, and simply a huge waste of my time. Very disappointed and felt extremely targeted.

Barmaid was fabulous,friendly and patient..... I ordered a fish fry and couldn't believe how much it looked exactly like the picture in someone else's review. Overall nice place. I will go back for a burger very soon! I heard they are the best!

Stopped into Silk in Utica, NY and came away seriously impressed…read more We started with the spinach and artichoke dip, and it set the tone right away--rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. It's one of those appetizers that's easy to judge a kitchen by, and this one was done exactly right. Great flavor, great texture, and clearly made with care. The ambiance is fantastic. Silk has that upscale-but-comfortable feel where you can relax but still feel like you're somewhere special. The lighting, décor, and overall vibe make it a great spot whether you're grabbing drinks with friends or settling in for a full evening out. Service was top notch from start to finish. Attentive without hovering, friendly, and knowledgeable--exactly what you hope for when trying a new place. The drink program really stands out. The cocktails were interesting and expertly prepared, and you can tell the bartenders know what they're doing. They also have a large selection of spirits, including plenty of off-the-beaten-path bottles for people who like to try something different. It's a great place to explore beyond the usual picks. Overall, Silk delivers across the board--great food, excellent service, a stylish atmosphere, and a seriously solid bar program. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Utica.
