First time going, def not the last. From the hostess to the check drop, everything was a wonderful step in the experience. Rachel, my hydration queen was attentive and pleasant as heck. Our server Trevor's passion for the food was felt throughout. He was great at explaining the menu as well as when the plates came out. He told us how he truly loves working there and it shows. Would absolutely recommend him for your table. Then... the food. Everything tasted as it should, only levels better than expected. Can't wait to go back. read more

We chose Noble Cellar for our wedding anniversary because it was highly rated and we enjoy unique, Five star dining experiences all throughout central New York and upstate New York and are not afraid to travel for a good meal. We had enjoyed the atmosphere And meals in the past when it was the mission restaurant so we thought why not! Needless to say, I felt there were some things that were ultimate fail for a fine dining restaurant and we most likely won't be back. Full disclosure I did share a direct message with them through Resy I never heard back from them, which tells me volumes. Small things like the barstools being too low to the bar as we were having cocktails it was so uncomfortable. We decided to have our cocktails at our table. Our server, the hostess and bartender were attentive and amazing. The main reason we came to the restaurant was the Duck meal they wound up being out of by 6:30 that night.My husband did choose as a substitute the braised lamb shank with the mint gremalata. Lamb was very tender, but 100% lacking in every way of the mint flavor. My swordfish was cooked perfectly, although plain and I was excited about turnips As I love them. Unfortunately they came out raw tasteless and inedible. I commented to our waiter and he said well they're Japanese so that's the way they are. All in all the dessert menu left us flat so we went out to another place for dessert & after dinner drinks. The percentage they add to your check for the back of the house gratuity is offensive. Just pay your people more and don't expect the diners to have to Pay up for your kitchen staff, as well as tipping the front of the house staff which got less of a tip because we had a tip the back of the house. All the hype some of it's real, most of it's not, glad we tried. It won't be back. There are too many other places and Upstate, New York. read more

I was genuinely looking forward to dining at what is often described as "the best restaurant in Syracuse," especially for their Valentine's Day prix fixe experience. Unfortunately, based on our visit, I do not anticipate returning. While I do have several culinary critiques--such as paying for the luxury wine pairing only to receive a bold Burgundy alongside Linguine and Clams, or seeing "Caviar" listed on the menu and discovering it was actually Bowfin roe--these are ultimately matters of taste and expectation. Likewise, the eclectic menu progression, shifting from Korean/Asian-inspired starters to Eastern European notes and then unexpectedly into Italian influences, was unusual but clearly stated ahead of time. SEE UPDATED REVIEW FOLLOWING THIS SECTION SPECIFICALLY RELATING TO "SERVICE FEE". What was not clearly stated--and what I believe crosses into dishonest practice--was the service fee. The menu advertised on Instagram included fine print noting a 3% service fee. That seemed reasonable. However, the check we received instead included a 22% service fee, which is a significant and unexplained deviation. This is not a simple oversight. The terms presented online at the time of reservation did not match the terms presented at the restaurant. (UPDATED REVIEW: Following my review, one of the owners of Noble Cellar reached out to discuss my experience. We had an in‑depth, thoughtful conversation about the complexities of New York State restaurant laws, particularly those governing how front‑of‑house staff may be tipped and how back‑of‑house employees may be compensated. While we were in agreement that the language surrounding the service fee was confusing, our discussion gave me a clearer understanding of the intent. I now feel far less certain that the discrepancy was malicious or deliberately deceptive. That said, it should have been made much clearer to diners that the service fee included what is traditionally understood as gratuity. Transparency in this area is crucial for maintaining guest trust, and clearer communication would have prevented the confusion I--and likely others--experienced. I want to commend the owner for reaching out directly and taking the time to address each of my concerns. His willingness to engage, listen, and provide context demonstrated genuine integrity. We also discussed my other critiques in depth, and it was evident that he was sincerely interested in my perspective and committed to further elevating the experience they aim to provide. I was invited back to experience a standard service, and I appreciate the opportunity. I look forward to giving Noble Cellar another chance and hope to update this review again following a future visit.) Our total bill was $599, including a $100 "service fee." I still chose to leave a $100 tip, as our server was attentive and should not be held responsible for management's decisions. In the end, we spent $700 for two people--paired with the added disappointment of feeling misled. I have photo documentation of both menus, and the discrepancy is unmistakable. I will be reaching out directly to ownership and management regarding this issue. Until then, I feel compelled to leave a 1-star review, as this level of inconsistency and lack of transparency is unacceptable. Without the inflated and undisclosed fee, my rating would have been closer to 3 stars, based on the food and overall experience. read more

I will start this as I always do by saying I do not give out five stars unless I am really blown away. I came back a second time after coming just a few weeks ago. Once again, it was outstanding. Great service great atmosphere and the food is superb. The price is worth what you pay for. If you have not come here yet, I strongly suggest it. It may be expensive, but the experience is hard to beat. One of my top five favorite restaurants of all time. read more

The rumors are true - this place is excellent! From the mystic decor, extremely knowledgeable winers (glasses are worth it!) perfectly curated seasonal menus & beautifly plated, this place is worth the money. Even when they run out of a dish, they have an equally amazing one instead, as well as drinks. They were super kind and accommodating, including a hook for my purse, a little engaging question booklet for my birthday & complimentary glasses of Champagne for the wait, which we didn't even mind! I definitely want to return for what I can only assume will be a fresh spring menu AND dessert. read more

This meal should've and could've been 4-5 stars . My first trip here while in town for work. I arrived with no reservation and what looked like a pretty busy evening. The front of house reception was very friendly and there were two beautiful ladies with warm and inviting smiles and manners. They found a seat for me at the bar, which is a handsome space. I started off with one of my favorite White Burgundy wines. The bartender told me about the selections for their three course Chef's tasting meal, which sounded very good. I started off with the spaghetti squash, latkes, and they were really good. They were served with apple butter and crème fraîche. I ordered the flat iron steak for my entrée which was served with homemade blue cheese pasta, and rainbow carrots. The beef and the carrots were delicious. The pasta was either not cooked or barely cooked and was maybe the worst pasta I've ever eaten. It was so disappointing because it looked beautiful and I was eager to enjoy the homemade pasta, and I just love blue cheese. The bar staff were apologetic and offered some compensation for the dish which I appreciated. The poorly prepared pasta made my entrée experience, disappointing. The bartenders were very friendly, super attentive, and clearly skilled service people. I would characterize the space as wildly civilized, and perfectly urban. I would try it again with hopes that all of my choices are properly served. read more

Not one vegetarian entree option. Can't believe a new restaurant isn't in touch with the current diets that are meatless. Missed a huge mark on that one. read more

This place is definitely worth at least trying. I waffled between a 4 and 5 star rating only due to the higher price for maybe the average diner. The service was impeccable and genuine. The meals were thoroughly explained. Any food allergies were asked about up front as some of the dishes were more sophisticated. The atmosphere was very relaxed and sophisticated. Iwas offered a purse hook for my purse to hang at the table. Coats may be hung at the entrance. It is on the darker end indoors which I appreciated but something to keep in mind if that is an issue. The food was perfectly prepared and delicious. The menu is rotated on a seasonal basis. We had the sweet potato gnocchi and the duck. The portions are smaller than what you may normally anticipate while eating out but are likely what they should be. The price is on the higher end but definitely worth it. I look forward to returning. read more

I have to say this is one of the best dining experiences I've had. It has wonderfully subdued, lighting, very warm and elegant looking inside. When we go out to dinner, we usually order multiple entrées and appetizers and share them. We had a very attentive waiter named Aaron who answered all our questions about the dishes we were interested in ...and the head chef Paddy even stopped by our table a couple times to tell us about the food and how it was made. Very classy. The entrées we ordered was the steak two ways... And the braised short rib. The steak came with an Amazing sauce. That's what I would also like to add with the appetizers also the sweet potato and the ceviche.... Everything comes with an amazing sauce or glaze that pushes everything over the top. We finished everything if you're looking for high-end dining, come to the Noble Cellar read more

This was our second visit to Noble Cellar after having a great first experience, so we were excited to return and made reservations for the Friday before Valentine's Day to try to avoid the rush and special menus. When we arrived, we realized it was a tasting-menu-only evening, which hadn't been clearly communicated ahead of time with the required pricing. At the bottom of the tasting menu, there was also a note about a 22% service charge that is not a gratuity, but rather a fee to help pay staff. While we understand the importance of supporting the staff and we're generally happy to go with the flow, there was no set menu pricing communicated to us (or to the couple next to us, who were visibly upset and shocked, seemed like it ruined their evening). When the bill came, it was around $440 for the two of us before tip -- I chose the wine pairing and my husband had two beers. The food was good, but it did not feel worth that steep price point, especially considering we were seated at the bar. Adding a 22% service charge to an already substantial bill and then expecting an additional 20% tip feels excessive, particularly without clearly notifying guests in advance about the tasting-menu-only format and pricing. We live about an hour away - I'd still recommend it overall, but this experience was disappointing and very expensive. read more

Finally came here for dinner. I made reservations weeks in advance (which is advisable, since our server told us that they sometimes are booked out weekends months in advance.) I did call the day before to push the reservation half an hour, which they accommodated. Service is top notch. They really pay attention to the little details. For example, as soon as I sat down and put my purse down on the floor, someone came over with a bag holder so that we could hang it from the table. We were greeted quickly and checked on regularly, even though it was a busy Friday and the house was full. The only real drawback is that the restaurant gets very loud, which I suppose is unavoidable because of the space. The old Mission/church has high ceilings that are super echo-y, and there's only that one room, so tables are close together. Point being, if you're looking for a quiet, private experience, this likely isn't it. The space is gorgeous with the converted church interior and stained glass windows but it gets very buzzy, so just FYI that's the vibe. They'd just switched from the winter menu to the spring that weekend, so unfortunately the menu we'd viewed online wasn't what was available. We were jazzed to try the polenta dish and the whitefish and were a little thrown that they weren't options, but were sure that everything would be good. I'm not the hugest fan of trout normally, but I took a chance on it and it was very good. My partner got the chef's pasta which was a spring mix with pea shells, asparagus, and bread crumbs. I tried a bite and it was very tasty. Portions were small but very rich and well done. Drinks are also on the high end, which is to be expected of a fine dining restaurant. Definitely more of a special occasion splurge kind of restaurant, but when you come here you can be assured that anything you order will be excellent and that the experience will be positive too. read more

Great atmosphere and ambiance in a former church setting complete with stained glass window and spacious ceilings. The history and philosophy of the restaurant lured me in and the service was good, while also being well versed in the heritage and menu offerings. The food is creative, especially the made from scratch pasta, which included rabbit. I chose the pictured short ribs saturated in Parmesan foam since it was recommended and is a classic staple. While tasty, I expected more tenderness although it was chewy. The combinations and sauce was a little overdone as well as somewhat pretentious. A friend shared some of her pork chop which was the other highly recommended dish and it was good, still didn't seem to live up to the hype. For the price and the ambitions of being an upscale eatery with aspirations of being Michelin rated, I don't feel it was worthy. read more

Just a follow-up review as I just got back from a wonderful dining experience and had the updated Spring menu. All I can say is the food is as outstanding as the service. We once again, had Trevor as our waiter, and I'm telling you, he really makes for such an incredible experience. We are going to ask for him every single time we make reservations, which, we will be doing for the summer menu. Everything was great and still is great. This is the best restaurant in Syracuse and I'll die fighting on that hill. read more

We celebrated an early Valentine's Day so we could dine at Noble Cellar for their 1 year anniversary. It was a five course menu which included soup, appetizer, salad, entree and a cheese plate. I have included a picture of the menu. We could have added wine pairing but we are not wine drinkers. My husband had a couple of glasses of stout and I chose a nicely crafted mocktail with an Asian pear base. Our server was very knowledgeable about the food, service was friendly but professional. They have redecorated beautifully with very comfortable seating but let the beautiful details of the old church shine. The entire staff was busy ensuring no details were missed. Clearing dishes, refilling water, replacing silverware, serving and boxing up leftovers. The food was beautifully prepared and presented. We enjoyed our meals and would definitely order these items again. I added a cup of French press coffee and a dessert, apple cake with vanilla ice cream and a caramel sauce.... perfect ending. I can't leave out how impressed we were talking to the owner who came around several times to check on us. He was so passionate about his restaurant and downtown Syracuse. It was such a pleasure talking with him. read more

Had unexpected time on my hands late this morning and had heard Noble Cellar had opened for lunch. When I pushed the door open, the restaurant was empty - a missed opportunity for downtown folks! My vegetarian greens & beans with a warm bread were fabulous - perfect for a cold winter morning. The Caesar salad had way too much Parmesan cheese (the reason for only 4 stars), but the shrimp wontons were terrific. And such lovely service! I'll be back, definitely. read more

I've been looking forward to coming here and it was a great dinner! The ambiance is sophisticated and intimate with a great playlist. The pictures I've seen previously made it look a bit bigger, so I was pleasantly surprised when the dining room was smaller than expected. We went on a Wednesday night and it was not crowded or busy. I went with my family, one of them who is a local and regular. He helped us through the menu and what he thought was best. I do like that they had a smaller menu. It shows they take pride and craft in few specific (seasonal?) dishes. We got the octopus, salmon tartare and charcuterie as appetizers. All were delicious and presented nicely! Our entrees took a bit of time to come out. I asked my local family member if this was normal and he said no. We were sat at 7pm and our entrees came out a little after 8:30pm. We were in good company and not in a rush, so while it didn't really negatively affect our dinner it was noticed. When dinner did come out everything was hot and presented wonderfully. I personally ordered the mushroom risotto. I very much enjoy truffles and mushrooms, and this dish had a great taste to it. I would recommend it to anyone who is a mushroom fan. Two people in my party ordered the short rib ragout, one tasted great, but the other had salty pasta (the beef wasn't salty, just the pasta). It seemed as though it got an extra toss of salt on top, which we don't think it needed. The desserts were all delicious. They had 3 and we ordered all 3 to enjoy as a group. They were all great, but I really liked the olive oil cake with the pistachios on top. A sophisticated restaurant with a great atmosphere and service. Every worker we came into contact with was pleasant and attentive. Our waters were always full and wine was always topped off. I would recommend and come again! read more

My wife and I took our son and a friend here for dinner. It was our first time there. Ambiance was really cool. It was a repurposed church with lots of original stained glass and a very hip interior. Tables were well spaced and they had a bar area as well. We were seated promptly and the host welcomed us and introduced our server. He was excellent and attentive. He took his time explaining the menu and the few specials for the day. Food was spectacular and innovative. We began with a charcuterie board which was good. I had the soup of the day which was a sweet potato and beet soup with coconut. It was very creamy and flavorful. The boys each had the short rib ragu with pasta and were very satisfied. My wife had the char and it was perfectly prepared in a very flavorful sauce. I had the beef hangar steak and it was very tender and flavorful. The sauce was simply fantastic. We tried the olive cake for dessert and it was rich and tasty. Although they don't serve spirits, they had a good selection of wines by the glass. It is a bit on the pricey side but the quality of the food made up for the cost. Give it a try and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. read more

Noble Cellar is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. And this includes the entire experience, from the service, to the pacing and the food, everything was incredible. If you want more details, keep reading, but if I were you I'd make my reservation now. And yes, you'll definitely want/need a reservation. The service was kind, welcoming, prompt and didn't want us to lift a finger. You walk away from your table to go to the bathroom, your napkin is probably getting folded. New plates and silverware for each course, you got it. Is this necessary, not remotely in my simple world, was it awesome to be a part of and witness, absolutely. They took our coats for us (not a formal coat service, just hung them up), brought a table hanger for my wife's purse and we're so quick to refill water as it was getting low and that's including the bottle of Pellegrino that we could have done ourselves. If you aren't used to being catered too, it's strange, while also not feeling remotely overbearing or interruptive. And our server was incredible, I wish I remembered her name for this, simply magnificent in her interactions with us. The drinks, a wonderful selection of adult beverages and they will have you try your wine before pouring all of it too you. Love this! I was taken aback by the water selection, I panicked, just water please! Joking slightly, it's cool they have options, just surprised. The food took us on a flavorful journey we were not ready for. Trying the duck breast starter and sharing the purple potato soup. Phenomenal, most tender duck I've ever had and I can't remember all the flavors and notes in the soup that were described but gosh darn it was good. For our main dishes we got a pork and chicken dish. Not only were they cooked to perfection, the flavor, the freaking flavors man were out of this world. We've had it perfectly cooked before, but never have we experienced such a beautiful combination of flavors on these types of dishes. I don't know who's culinary mind is at work here but bravo a thousand times. Our dessert, my basic understanding is some kind of cookie that's light, fluffy and again surrounded with perfect compliments of flavor all around. My taste buds were so happy I blacked out. Absolutely wonderful experience at Noble Cellar. It is expensive no doubt, while the portions are absolutely reasonable for the price, especially since they are nailing the taste. I also see it as paying for the full experience and the service and flow was top tier. If they can maintain this, they will be a massive success. Nothing left to do now but, Enjoy!! read more

Noble Cellar was a perfect dinner spot! The food was great, the staff was lovely, and if nothing else, the location was amazing! It's in a converted church and absolute exudes character! It was moody yet fresh and had a more elevated feel to it! We sat at the bar and the bar tenders were so lovely! The wine selection was also great! (They don't have hard liquor so don't have any major cocktails) but it was all still so lovely! I got the duck and it was some of the best I have ever had. It was prepared so well and had so much flavor. I would recommend getting a reservation as it gets very busy! read more

An Unforgettable Experience at Noble Cellar Last night, Kim and I returned to Noble Cellar for date night, and let me tell you--this place is the real deal. Ever since my first visit, I had been eager to return, wondering if the magic was truly as good as I remembered or if I had been swayed by hunger, great company, and the excitement of a long-overdue date night. Many Central NY restaurants struggle with consistency, so I was eager to see if Noble Cellar could deliver again. We made our reservation two weeks in advance for 5:30, and upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the hostess, who even took Kim's coat. We were seated in a cozy corner booth with a perfect view of the restaurant. From there, we were met by three different team members, including Karl, our head waiter, who enthusiastically welcomed us back. Karl walked us through the drink options, introducing us to their iPad-based inventory of wines and craft drinks, and shared the exciting news that they were finalizing the spring menu. His passion was contagious--he made us want to return the moment the new menu launches! Karl inquired about any allergies or dislikes and asked if we'd be open to trying some components of the new menu. Being the food lovers we are, we eagerly agreed. We started with a Prosecco and a craft cocktail featuring Prosecco. Then came the salads: the honey burnt carrot salad with cider farro, whipped feta, and watercress (a personal favorite from my last visit) and a featured salad of baby kale, fennel prawns, baby heirloom radishes, and toasted crushed hazelnuts. These salads were everything a salad should be--fresh, crisp, balanced in texture and flavor, with the perfect dressing. Karl paired our salads with a wine that had a nose so unique it transported us back to Wilson's Leather in the mall (if you're 50+, you'll get it). The complexity was unreal. Our second course included the roasted poblano sausage--just as outstanding as before, with a perfect snap to the casing, rich spice, and incredible moisture. We also had the wild-caught sea scallop special with fennel slaw, cooked to perfection with just a hint of ocean brine. For entrees, I ordered The Egg--heirloom polenta, seasonal vegetable succotash, and vegetable jus, plus two more scallops. Karl's wine pairing for this dish was flawless--an Alsace wine that elevated every bite. Kim stuck with her favorite from last time, the sweet potato gnocchi, which she declared might be the best dish she's ever had (a bold statement from someone who knows what she loves!). Karl, remembering our last visit's order, noticed I hadn't chosen the Berkshire Pork Chop this time and took it upon himself to send one out. Though we were getting full, I was thrilled. This dish was next-level--perfectly marbled, cooked to tender perfection, and paired with accompaniments crafted with love. We couldn't finish it all but were excited to take it home for lunch. For dessert, we went with the Pumpkin Sticky Toffee Pudding--still one of the best desserts I've ever had and certainly a contender for Central NY's best. The kitchen also sent out a sneak peek of a new dessert: profiteroles filled with house-made banana ice cream, dipped in caramel sauce, an inventive take on Brennan's bananas foster flavors. Absolutely divine. A Testament to Culinary Excellence Executive Chef Padriac Adolfi and his team are nothing short of extraordinary. The precision, creativity, and mastery displayed in every dish speak volumes about their skill and dedication. The entire culinary staff operates with seamless efficiency and an obvious love for their craft. Every plate that leaves the kitchen is a work of art, perfectly balanced in flavor, texture, and presentation. This team is easily among the most talented I've encountered. In my seasoned and professional opinion, Noble Cellar is on its way to earning a Michelin Star and a James Beard nomination--should the industry take notice of what they are doing here. Karl's service, once again, was over the top. His knowledge of food and wine pairings is exceptional, and his ability to create an immersive dining experience sets him apart. He doesn't just serve food--he guides you on a journey, making every sip and bite an event to remember. His passion and expertise elevate the entire experience, proving that outstanding service is just as important as the food itself. The Verdict: Worth Every Penny Yes, Noble Cellar is a higher-end dining experience, but the value is undeniable. Every ingredient is meticulously sourced from artisanal producers, and every dish is executed with precision and passion. Whether this is your go-to spot or a special occasion destination, it is worth every bit of the investment. Perhaps the most impressive takeaway from our visit was that the owners, Sarah Pelligrini and Rob Zaccaria, were not present again. Yet, everything ran flawlessly. This speaks volumes about the level of training, pride, and empowerment given to the employees. read more

This is BAR NONE the best restaurant in Syracuse, NY. Service is top notch, wine is phenomenal, and the food was delicious. After living in Philadelphia for years and moving back to Syracuse, I didn't know if we would be able to find the caliber of restaurants in Syracuse that are in Philly. Noble Cellar proved me wrong and I am confident saying this one of best restaurant I have ever been to. For reference l, have been to some of the best restaurants in Philly and NYC and Noble Cellar is up there with the best of them. We ordered 1 app and 3 entrees. For our entrees we got the ribeye, fish special, and gnocchi. The flavor profiles were crafted with such meticulous detail. The food was cooked perfectly and went perfectly with our wine. absolutely amazing. 10/10 would recommend for a special occasion. We will definitely be back before the end of the year. read more

Very expensive, worth every penny. Dishes we tried included gnoccette with a rib eye ragu and homemade ricotta; skirt steak with caponata; snapper w mushrooms; a tuna crudo w Japanese sweet potato; a fried potato appetizer; a pork belly appetizer; a duck breast w cassoulet; and a pork medallion in a Thai-inspired sauce. Stars were the duck, the crudo and the wine pairings, along with the remarkably above and beyond service. Noble cellar is in a class of one in Syracuse. read more

What a great first experience I had at Noble Cellar. It was the choice for our monthly girls night out dinner. First walking in it felt cozy and warm plus I love the stain glass windows. The service from beginning to end was phenomenal. The drinks and courses came out in a timely manner. I really enjoyed my meal, the salad was balance of flavors the sweetness of the carrots delicious. The duck was cooked perfectly. I tend to order things I don't or try to attempt to cook at home. The Parker House Rolls were delicious, I could have ate so many of them. Our group of seven enjoyed everything we had and our time here, and never felt rushed. I'm excited to head back here to try different menu items. read more

Great fine dining spot in an old church in Downtown Syracuse! The interior design is thoughtful, as the color scheme goes well with the stained glass windows. Our server was lovely, and the staff is attentive to each transition of the meal. They had a couple mock tail choices, so we each got one to try. We ordered the house rolls, then I ordered the carrot salad to start. The whipped feta was spread across the bottom of the plate with greens & water cress, roasted rainbow carrots, and Farro on top. The flavors blended together perfectly with a lil zing. Dinner was Halibut and duck, then dessert apple cake and pumpkin sticky pudding. If you're looking for a lovely fine dining experience with great food in Syracuse, I highly recommend Noble Cellar! read more

Located in the old Syracuse Wesleyan church where the Mission used to be. Fortunately you don't have to pay for the quality of the food because it is exceptional. Being in a former church makes the setting a little odd for a high end restaurant but the room is pleasant albeit a tad dark. No liquor license but a good and fairly priced wine list. The striped bass crudo and the elk loin carpaccio were amazing. The Arctic char were very good but the rib eye was better. The prices are on the high side for Syracuse so more of a special occasion place. Wii be back. read more

Ambiance: Quite nice, we sat at the bar high top and the seats were very comfortable. The lighting was perfect, not too dark and not too bright. The wall decor was interesting but a little distracting with the projected movie clips playing against frames. Food: Very good! We each had a cocktail, shared two appetizers, two entrees and a dessert. Peach and Green Tomato Gazpacho: a little boring, but a nice cold soup. Pork Belly and Bok Choy: Quite good, nice and crispy but had too much of the cranberry compote in my opinion. Lamb chops: good, a little fatty but seasoned perfectly. The beets were good but they overpowered the lamb's subtle seasoning. The spanakopita was great, but an odd choice to pair with the entree. Mushroom Gnocchi: Best gnocchi I've had in Syracuse. Light and fluffy with a slight crisp. The miso was a little thick, but the flavor was perfect. Basil Strawberry Tart: a bit dry, and the basil was a bit overpowering. But a nice dessert all the same. Service: the service was a little subpar. The appetizers took about 25 minutes to arrive without any notice of how long we should be expected to wait. The entrees took just about an hour, which was a bit ridiculous in my mind. If the lamb was holding up the other entree, we should have been advised the lamb takes a while or offered to have them come out separately. read more

Just had the most incredible dinner at noble cellar to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic. We started with a beautiful white wine which had the perfect combo of minerality and floral notes. It paired really well with our appetizers which included a hot lobster mushroom toast and poblano pepper pork sausage. We then moved on to a seasonal delicious sweet potato gnocchi, brown butter sage sauce which paired well with a Syrah wine. Additionally we tried the rabbit tortier which paired well Mourcedrr Dessert was so yummy as well - we had the chocolate Lou de crème and the pumpkin sticky toffee pudding and it was spectacular with the madeira dessert wine which brought us back to the madeira wine we had when we got engaged in Madeira - it was such a special treat!

The vibe of this new spot is awesome! The staff are just as awesome. My husband and I decided to try for date night and it did not disappoint. We split a bottle of white wine which was delicious. My husband and I each got a first and second course and then split a dessert. I started with a squash and apple soup and had a chicken dish as the main entree. It came with potatoes and broccolini. My husband got a charcuterie appetizer and followed with a pork chop dish. The pork could have used a larger side besides a small amount of a squash puree underneath. We both weren't in love with the food but it was flavorful and plated nicely. The winner of the evening was the olive oil cake with lemon!! It was so moist and light. We also thought it was on the pricier side. A bottle of wine, 2 apps, 2 entrees & 1 dessert was over $200 not including tip. read more

Such a great and unique dining experience. Love what they've done with this place in terms of aesthetic. Service was on par. They have many wines to choose from. We started off with the slow roasted pork belly. This was crispy on the outside but tender inside. We loved the blackberry chile sauce that accompanied. We split the braised pork shoulder and grouper entrees for dinner. Both were delicious with very different vibes. The pork shoulder had a lot of bold flavor compared to the milder grouper dish. The dishes look small, but were just enough to be filling. We finished off with the strawberry basil and coconut desserts. I've never had desserts like these before. They were very eccentric but really tasty. Can't wait to come back! read more

Server helped us pick the perfect wine, it was so great. Great MCM look and feel to the place. This is a fine dining experience. I think I had short ribs and it was so good. My dinner date thought it was too expensive. I thought it was worth it. Definitely feels like a big city! read more

Would rate it a 10 if I could. Awesome, eclectic playlist. Delicious food. Impeccable service. And the location is so cool, old church in the middle of everything! Drove by it, had to circle back. very unpretentious. What a find! Every dish was a wonderful, balanced fusion of flavors, textures and colors; with some unexpected surprises. Highly recommend and will come back if in town again. read more

We booked a reservation for date night and were 100% satisfied with the entire experience. The restaurant feels upscale but maintains a warm "cozy" atmosphere. The service was prompt, attentive and incredibly polite. Food was GREAT. No complaints at all. We tried 3 courses and finished our plates with each. Such a pleasant dining experience over all. 10/10. read more

Absolutely horrible food, sleazy and cheap hostess, too crowded, over bearing and noisy for a Wednesday evening, and over priced for what was presented. Not worth the time and the ambiance, although presented online as professional and relaxing, was taxing and over rated. Never returning. read more

The place has been remodeled and is tastefully decorated, intimate and quiet (easy to have a conversation). The staff are friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the pork belly starter. Fabulous flavor! On to the entrees. I had the artic char - out of this world flavor, topped with crab and beur blanc sauce. I'd had 2 bites before I took the picture, so it's deconstructed... Sorry about that! Others enjoyed their chicken entree and rib entree. The grand finale was the flourless expresso chocolate cake. Perfect ending! This place is special! read more
