This place is still awesome. It does not have an extravagant menu but everything on the menu is delicious. Portion sizes are great. Service is awesome and the ambience is cool. This is one of my favorite places to come in the Syracuse area. It is now back on the top of my mind so I will be frequently coming back. I suggest you do the same.

Restaurant for lunch was busy and the service was just OK. Lost a star. Never came back to check on us and other waiter served us. No follow up. Pet peeve. Food ceaser salad with shrimp add was very good. However, the Short Rib Grilled Cheese Slow braised short rib, caramelized onion, provolone, brioche, side of house demi glace was one of the largest serving and best , most flavorful short rib, I have enjoyed. Well worth the price. Had salad side. Overall experience was very good and would return. Entrance and parking also in the rear. Ps Verizon Wireless in back seating, no service and no in-house wifi.

Amazing service and food. Jessica was our server with outstanding recommendations. Happy hour with…read moreall the right choices and high end alcohol brands. Burger of the month was over the top perfect as were the pickle chips and southwest egg rolls. Yes we topped it off with a side of cornbread that was amazing. Nothing short of perfection in this choice. We had to extend our thank you and awesome words to Teresa the manager who was grateful and happy we took the time to share. We are from Michigan here on business and will be a repeat without question each and every time we come back here.

Pulled pork awesome, needed a little more bbq sauce, chicken was a little dry but tasty, brisket: probably the best brisket ever !! The most tenderest brisket I've ever had!! Even my wife said omg about how great it was and she is not a bbq/smoked meat fan like me. Thank you for an awesome dinner!

The popcorn was salty and added a bubbly feeling to my tongue with a measly tint of delight . I swear, I could of ate it until the day I die . But those Shirley temples, ohhhhhhh weeee! They were sooooo good and included the perfect amount of cherry! I felt like an angel rocking in Gods lap! For my entree, I chose the most finest delicacy they had to offer. I had the shrimp and crab Alfredo with their gourmet garlic bread. How it was so crisp. To rap it up, I had their Reese's Pieces Pie . The chocolate to peanut butter ratio was perfection . All throughout the meal, my waiter was right there by our side whenever we needed him! He was a nice fella and I wish I had caught his name . The restaurant was popping and the music was just wonderful . The walls had expressive art with a touch of sports jerseys and posters . I played at the arcade in the restaurant after I ate and won a rubber duck ! Who said a little old lady cant have some fun too ! I left feeling like I ate a horse , a quite delicious one indeed! All in all, this place was very well rounded with a check mark for EVERY single box. This is a great place for family and friends and I 100% do RECOMMEND!!!!!

The bar was nearly empty, yet they came to our table to remove us from the premise due to their rule of "not wearing headphones". There were no signs stating this rule.

So good we ordered a second portion. I had the pork belly with polenta. Good juicy crispy pork, properly cooked. Two of the party ordered the homemade pasta and proclaimed it delicious as did another with the swordfish. Chocolate Tower for dessert was rich and decadent and it took all 4 of us to demolish it. They wrote "happy anniversary" around the edge of the plate in chocolate. It's not cheap but definitely worth it for a special occasion.

The service was great! Our server, Sara was very accommodating and offered substitutions when she could. You may want to plan a visit earlier in the evening. I planned on trying the chicken parmesean special but was told it was sold out at 5:59pm which was kind of surprising. The decor is nice. It's located in an older house so there is unlevel flooring from room to room but they are mindful to make you aware. The food was delicious although not what you may expect. I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo which was delicious but it also had blue cheese in it. Huh. The golden beet salad was very very good. In all, it was a lovely, scenic evening. I wish the staff well...
