What a fun spot! Tucked away downtown the Fish Friar is unassuming when you drive by, but we were…read morevery impressed after our first visit. Immediately, the staff were very friendly and helpful. While the hostess worked to get our table ready, we grabbed a bottle of wine at the bar to spilt. On Wednesdays their wine bottles are half off! The bartender, Matthew, is phenomenal and makes cocktails with such attention to detail. After we got to our table, our waitress made some recommendations based on what flavors we like and got us excited for the meal. The smoked salmon dip was yummy and we both really enjoyed our entrees. My partner slurped up every drop of the tomato sauce in his dish! My Po Boy made into a bowl was a lovely gluten free option with a delicious spice and citrus taste. I'm sure the sandwich version is great too. This is a great spot if you're looking for sustainable, wild caught seafood options on a date night! A cozy atmosphere with great staff and food.

Overall - 3/5 - honestly a big let down here unfortunately. Visiting Skan, this was the place I was most hyped to visit. Was hoping to eat the fried clams or oysters but both were not available that day which is fine so went for the Po Boy. Honestly pretty lame. Have had better. Inside was cool, definitely an original vibe in there. Will visit again to try other dishes. Best Dish - Nothing Would Return - Potentially

Neat old place…read more C.J.'s is open one day a week (Friday) and seems to be staffed exclusively by people at both extremes of the workforce spectrum: high school kids and silver-haired ladies. The fish is fresh and well-cooked. Scallops are better than they should be, considering Lyncourt is hundreds of miles from the ocean. The prices are dirt-cheap ($4 for a haddock sandwich). It's a great old-timey dive of a place. No plastic. Go early - good stuff sells out before closing time.

There was more than enough food for two people to share with being overstuffed. Food was tasty. Seasoning had a nice balance of flavor without being salty like other boil restaurants in the Syracuse area. A little messy but that's to be expected when eating this type of food. They supply gloves, bibs and bucket for shells. Restaurant was clean with a nice atmosphere. Server was friendly and helpful with it being our first time there. Food was a little pricy but we would return and recommend to others. One potential negative is they don't serve alcohol but if you're not a drinker then was won't be an issue.

I ordered online which isn't my preference but it was my first time trying this establishment so I…read morejust rolled with it. Easy online ordering, I believe the discount was for online order and $1 convenience fee. Order was ready when I arrived only 20 minute wait upon order. Prices comparable to other local boils I've had locally, this combo includes thinly sliced sausage and one hard boiled egg as well so that was a little something extra! I usually order extra corn and potatoes to make shareable which would be an additional $6.50 for three corn and potatoes. I thought I would see the standard for first order. I would add next order. Loved the house special sauce that combines all the flavors, extra hot for me definitely had a kick! I'll try the super hot next time, it packed some heat but I could do spicier. All the seafood was good the crab legs just a bit rubbery, corn, potatoes, sausage all delish swimming in their speciality sauce! I add my own extras on many occasions. Friendly service with no wait and easy parking. Definitely will add to my spots for seafood boils! Looks like more of a pick up destination put plenty of tables for dining in with a casual at the sea side ambiance and picture wall.

Couldn't tell the dinner from the sandwich.

I will not be going back to this establishment.

The only way someone could leave a bad review here is if they got too busy. Just my observation…read more We were so surprised by this place. The owner only buys what they will use in that week. Our nar neighbor told us to get the chicken strips. They were so juicy that even the next morning the microwave didnt ruin them. Crispy, crunchy, savory. Never thought id crave a chicken tender but hey, what I know?! Nothing was regular bar food. The menu might seem like just another pub with frozen food to keep you drinking beer, but the owner wont serve anything he doesnt love. Everyone we talked to at the bar were locals and we're both a little sad some tourists found it but also they were too proud that this was their place and told us all their favorite menu items. Truly enjoyed our time and taste buds here.

What I did know is that I preferred not to dine at a chain restaurant. Low and behold, I took a right turn and ended up Mattie Street, and to my left was a very unassuming green "house." Once I approached and read the sign, I realized it was a restaurant. The welcome sign stating that this was a farm to table establishment was all I needed to convince me to walk in. Upon entering Roseadah's, I instantly felt very comfortable. This eatery has a very laid-back, cozy vibe that I particularly enjoyed. My family and I were the only ones dining at the time, so I had the opportunity to truly soak in this lovely eatery. The ladies who assisted us were both so very wonderful. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who's also the amazing chef, and her personality alone won me over! Now, on to the food. Delicious, scratch made appetizers and entrees. I enjoyed every bite! Not only did we enjoy our meals while there, we also decided to order some food to take home for dinner. My personal favorite was their duck bacon wontons, so good! We also drooled over their freshly breaded mozzarella sticks. (we are fried cheese fanatics). When you visit, definitely do yourself a favor and order those appetizers before your main meal. If I didn't have a reason to return to Auburn, I certainly do now.

I don't know if my experience was typical, but I got the jumbo haddock fish fry and a side of…read moremedium fries and coleslaw and they somehow got my food out in less than 6 minutes. Everything tasted great and when they say jumbo they really mean it. I'm the kind of person who can eat an 18 inch pizza in one sitting and I barely finished it all. The fish was hot and crispy and they did a good job with the coleslaw - a lot of places make it too sweet but Fresco knows what they're doing. Their fries are addicting - honestly I would go back just for the fries. Only thing I would say is they should switch to wooden tables and chairs and keep salt, pepper, ketchup, and napkins at every table. The food came out hot but it got cold in just a few minutes sitting on a metal table. Maybe some baseboard heating in the dining area would help too - it was 20F today and you could definitely feel the chill!

I made a list of all the places I wanted to visit in the area before we become snowbirds, and…read moreFresco's was at the top of my list. The owner's father previously owned Zkiddith Fish, a place filled with so many wonderful memories and so much history before he retired. I was happy to see his son branch out and open Fresco's and continue the family's connection to seafood. A couple of years ago, Fresco's moved to a new location near Sangertown Square, in the former Dippin' Donuts building. Our past experiences had always been so good, and the food was delicious, so I was really looking forward to one more visit before our move west. Unfortunately, this visit didn't quite live up to my memories. Perhaps it was just an off night, but the fried fish was just okay, and the shrimp weren't quite what we had hoped for. They were a little overcooked, and a few still had small pieces of shell attached. Considering we paid well over $60 for a meal for two that we brought home to serve with our own sides, we had hoped for a little more, especially at that price point. I was disappointed, mainly because I have such fond memories of enjoying seafood from this family over the years. I know one visit doesn't necessarily reflect the usual experience, and I truly hope this was just an off night. Fresco's was a place I really wanted to revisit before leaving the area, and I'll always appreciate the memories and history this family has given us through the years.
