I have a gluten intolerance and was worried that I wouldn't be able to eat anything on the menu selected for this event. I was assured by staff that they could modify any food item to my needs. The substitutions were absolutely delicious and included a vegan appetizer with fiddle heads, and gluten-free focaccia (which was amazing). The pan roasted Faroe Island salmon was cooked perfectly, and since I couldn't eat the cake made by a local bakery, I was surprised with a delicious chocolate flourless piece of cake. The staff was extremely accommodating and very friendly and the atmosphere had a great vibe. I highly recommend Motus and plan to eat there again...and again.

I absolutely hated my swordfish, it was dry & tasteless. Paired with 1 piece of potato, fennel & tomatoes. Personally I feel did not mesh well with the fish and were also flavorless and dry.

The restaurant is large with lots of seating plus bar seating. Food, specials. Pork Osa bucco normally over mashed but had their excellent tasting pasta with garlic oil. Pork was large and excellent.

Pros- can't think of a single thing I liked…read more Cons- we went to Michael Ts for an early Father's Day dinner and I couldn't be more disappointed! To start, the fried ravioli was bland and barely had any cheese inside. Then, they were out of the entree I wanted (Prime Rib). Instead I ordered the Filet Mignon. Not only was it over-cooked (I ordered medium and got well) but it was so where near the size they advertise. I eat very clean and weigh all of my portions so I can quickly eyeball what 9 oz looks like and what I was served as only 6.5 oz at the very best. Next, the server was passive aggressive and sarcastic. Overall, this was a terrible experience and I was never go back!

The staff was so friendly and overly accommodating. The manager was great at helping us make sure everything was to our liking while setting up and the servers that worked the shower not only catered to our every request, but they did so with a smile and a great/friendly demeanor. The room we were in had a great/cozy feel with fireplace and we were able to come in and decorate very easily. The food was delicious and all of our party guests felt very well taken care of. They even worked with us on the number of people that we had vs. the number we had planned on. The manager recognized how difficult it is to get a true count and did everything within her power to accommodate. I would definitely go back for a party or even just for dinner. Your staff can make or break your restaurant and this staff, combined with the comfy atmosphere and good food, makes it a great place to eat and enjoy!

P.S. our server was Greg and he was amazing! Everything is made in house (sauces, dressings) and is so flavorful and delicious! Their drinks are great and have many options (including non-alcoholic beverages). Definitely recommend a reservation for busy dinner hours. It's a smaller place, but definitely has enough tables for bigger parties (we had a party of 6 with 1 child). There is street parking, but also has a parking lot to the right of building with lots of space. Wheelchair accessible (although it's a little tight). Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. Will always come back to Ancora.

A wonderful restaurant in downtown Utica, a small city filled with wonderful restaurants. Ancora…read morestands out for its fidelity to Spanish and Italian cuisine. Tapas like they serve in Barcelona, paella, chock full of seafood and spicy sausage, wonderful appetizers, and a full bar menu that is staffed by an unseen mixologist who knows what he/she is doing. Good paella is difficult to find. Although the paella at Ancora is served in a tomato-saucy bed of rice in stark contrast to the more traditional yellow saffron rice, it is a beautiful paella, teeming with flavor. The desserts are spectacular. The table settings, flatware, serving dishes are all appropriate and fully functional. The staff are all friendly and capable. The portions are generous and you will be provided with containers to pack up leftovers. The cappuccino was a bit off, as was the coffee, but no one else at my table seemed to notice or mind. But chances are that They were too distracted by the incredible desserts to notice. I will definitely be back.

We even toured the KOA and was amazed at the fabulous campground. We didn't dig for diamonds but this is highly recommended for families.

It had no flavor and the onions were crunchy and seemed to be undercooked. The waitress spilled some soup on my dress because when she placed the soup down she passed it over me. I asked her if we got bread with the meal and she said if we wanted some. I told her yes but she never brought it. The soup was served along with our meal so our food was cold when we started to eat the meal. My sister ordered the pulled pork which came with bbq beans that were together on the same plate hence the juice from the beans went into the pulled pork.
