I was low key having a rough time after working so late but this incredible meal turned things around: the strawberry salad was so fresh and well-balanced and I simply couldn't NOT order something from their meat case in the front, which offers local cuts. I got the tenderloin medium rare with broccolini and mashed potatoes. They did something TRULY special here. Goat cheeseinthemash. Or something. Like a blue cheese that was a goat cheese? Idk but it was truly genius. I haven't stopped thinking about it. My waitress was also tending the bar and did an amazing job, I felt so well looked after and the bar patrons stayed entertained. I only saw her visiting the various tables so props for handling that many people solo! I kinda can't wait to come back up here for work if it means I get to visit this place when I mentioned I planned to go to sackett's table for dinner, my customer immediately knew I was in for a great time.

Small space in the Best Western (very old school, can't remember the last time I ate in a…read moredestination restaurant at a Best Western). Reservations are a must. If you reserve on Open Table interestingly they write down your reservation at the hostess stand by your first name in a book, not a computer (very old school). Knowing this will save you some time and angst when you check in. The tables are placed close together (Reminds me of being in Manhattan). The Crabcakes were good but not the lump crabcakes you would get in Maryland. The Sicilian Steamers were outstanding. Had the 30 oz bone-in ribeye which was the best steak I've had in Syracuse. The garlic mashed were great. The almond cake was amazing. Had a great time. Next time I'll have to try one of their Italian entrees. Who am I kidding, next time I'm getting the steak again.

Went to TS Steakhouse at Turning Stone on a Wednesday evening with a group of coworkers and the…read moreplace was busy, which made for a great energy. Even with how crowded it was, the service was absolutely top notch from start to finish. Attentive, professional, and well-paced without ever feeling rushed. The ambiance is classic upscale steakhouse with a modern feel, lively but still comfortable enough for conversation, making it a great spot for a business dinner or group outing. We enjoyed bottles of great red Merlot, which paired perfectly with the meal and added to the overall experience. We started with a Caesar salad that was very fresh and served with anchovies, which in my opinion is what makes a true Caesar and it did not disappoint. I ordered the sea bass, which had a really cool presentation and was cooked nicely. It felt elevated and thoughtfully prepared. The lobster bisque looked beautiful presentation-wise but was just okay in flavor. It lacked depth and richness and I found myself rushing through it. The family-style sides were excellent and more than enough for our party of six. The creamed spinach and mushrooms were both very good and everyone at the table loved them. As for the steaks, everyone was extremely happy. Our group tried a variety of the available cuts and each one was cooked properly and thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, TS Steakhouse delivered a great dining experience with excellent service, strong ambiance, quality food, and standout sides. I would definitely return, especially for a group dinner or special occasion.

Otherwise it was only okay. The bussers/servers left our plates piling up, and there were a lot of mixups with with food and drinks in my party. I ordered the lobster bisque and wpuld say to skip it, very little actual lobster in it, it was more just a creamy fishy tasting soup. The rack of lamb was flavorful with good sauce options, but very tough, dry in parts and hard to cut. Finally, dessert came in strong, we ordered a carrot cake slice to go and it was huge. Don't skip the dessert.

I enjoyed their table side Caesar and Steak Diane, both of which were great. The 8oz steak was a nice cut, the sauce was very tasty and it was fun to see it cooked table side. The Caesar was made from scratch - including egg whites - together with a story about where the salad originated. Service was warm. One caution is that the restaurant is great for a slow dinner experience. I saw a few long dates that seemed to be going well. If you need to have a quick dinner, I would make that clear when you walk in. However it really stands out in the area.

Everything from taking drink orders to the amazing story and table side Caesar salad preparation was performed with great efficiency, yet left us all not feeling rushed. Many dishes were orders and no ok e complained. I had a dish called Triple play, it was lobster tail, filet mignon and duck breast. Everything g was cooked to perfection. My favorite was the table side Banana Foster! Once again there was a story and interaction with all table guests. Oddly and ironically the restaurant was decorated with nothing but images of cows. Various pictures and paintings but it seemed odd since prime rib is a well advertised specialty. I would highly recommend a visit to this place. A personal favorite was receiving sorbet just prior to the main entrees being served. A simple but nice detail that isn't found in many places. Give this place a shot if you are in the area

I was not expecting them to be kid friendly, as they are a little more upscale, but they asked if we wanted a high chair and kids menu for our toddler! The dining room has clearly been upgraded recently and was beautiful! Our server explained the various menus and specials and quickly took our drink orders. However, service started to decline after this. We had ordered the warm bread basket, and never ended up getting it. By the time we realized they had forgotten about it, we didn't feel like it was worth it. Our salads and soups came out quickly, but everything else took a while. When we would finish one course, it would take 10-15 min to clear our empty plates. The waitress also didn't check in with us very often to see if we wanted to order more drinks. I will also say that more places should start bringing our young kids entrees before the adults. It can be very tough for a toddler to patiently wait 30 minutes for their food. Once we got our food, I will say everything was quite delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and had excellent flavor. Portion sizes were also great. I did find an unmashed chunk in my whipped potatoes, but the taste made up for that. The kids mac and cheese was also delicious and the portion was huge! For dessert, we had the option of creme brûlée cheesecake or flourless chocolate torte. Both were decadent and a good way to end the meal. We definitely want to give this place another try, as the food was good. They just need to work out some kinks with their service.

Friends invited my wife and I out to El Mezquite over the weekend, so we gave them a shot. First off, did not realize until we got there that the place in inside of a hotel, so that was an interesting discovery. We were sat immediately, given menus, had our order taken & food brought to us in a timely fashion. My wife ordered chile relleno while I ordered tacos de diablas - three tacos with steak, chorizo, and a spicy red sauce. Most of my party was happy with their food. Mine was fine, although the meat was a bit rubbery and the red sauce wasn't very spicy, but I suppose my problem with El Mezquite is the same as most of the Mexican restaurants in the same area - I'm convinced they all just order the exact same stuff from the same place. El Mezquite's menu is the exact same as most other Mexican restaurants in the area, same offerings, even the rice tastes exactly the same in all these places, so I'm becoming less and less convinced there's any authenticity for most of the places in CNY. That said, the food was fine, our service was fine as well, but I don't believe we'd return for the simple fact that we can find the exact same dishes at other, closer establishments.
