She told us about specials and about ordering tapas. I ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. It was a fantastic pour and the light fruitiness of the wine was perfect for the big flavors of the food we were about to explore. Bacon Wrapped Jalepenos. Sometimes I can't handle spice but I'm so glad we ordered these. They were balanced perfectly with all the ingredients and the poblano sour cream dip so that you could taste the flavors and a little heat but it cooled quickly. These "poppers" were crispy and way better than battered and fried! Grilled Asparagus Aranchini. If you don't like Asparagus, try them anyway. It is not an overpowering flavor in this dish. I usually eat aranchini with a tomato sauce but the Lemon Beurre Blanc it was served with was absolute perfection. Shrimp & Grits. Perfectly cooked shrimp topped the most delicious cheesy Grits. Bacon and Scallions put this dish right over the top. Portobello & Truffle Flatbread. Portobello mushrooms, goat cheese, Truffle oil, and arugula. Flavor Bomb! We had our eye on dessert too but apparently we ordered too much food. We were both so stuffed! Marianne checked in with us several times and kept refilling our waters before they were needed. She was one of the best servers I've had in a long time. It had been many years since I've been to Laci's. I can assure you I will go back much sooner this time.

We came in for dining week and it was our first time visiting 317. For anyone that doesn't know,…read morerestaurants participating in Downtown Syracuse Dining Week usually put together deals, specials, or limited menus for a set price. The variety on the 317 menu really stood out to us. The portions were sized down due to dining week, but everything was tasty! I will have to come back after dining week and try their normal offerings, but they're a bit on the pricey side so I was glad we got such a good deal tonight. Every individual glass of wine was $12, so we opted to split a $40 bottle between 4 people. The duck poutine and the pear goat cheese salad were favorites! The ambiance really stands out at 317! This historical building has so much charm, and the wood and brick made a warm, inviting setting. Some of the tables, and the bathrooms, are down a set of stairs. I think this is really unique and I liked how the restaurant used the flow of the old building, but definitely something to keep in mind if you are dining with anyone that has mobility issues. When we arrived, we waited at the entrance for a few minutes before anyone greeted us or checked us in. The entry way is a small space with tables surrounding it, so waiting was a little awkward. We only saw 2 servers working the dining areas, and the kitchen staff were delivering meals. Although it seemed like the staff was spread too thin tonight, our server, Mike, was so friendly and had a great attitude. We really enjoyed our time with him!

There is a smaller menu right now but the food is delicious. If you are hoping for a certain dish it may be a good idea to all that they have all the ingredients ahead of time. For example, I ordered the chopped walnut, goat cheese, and baked pear salad but was told they didn't have and baked pear when it was served to me. Otherwise the food was great. I loved that there was the RI style calamari on the menu. The butternut squash ravioli was tasteful. It's worth a visit before they close. Their last day of service is 12/31.

When we got there and added our name to the list, we didn't have to wait long to be seated. It was quite cozy inside and they have an outdoor patio as well. My friends ordered a drink they saw their Instagram which was the Cucumber Watermelon Sangria. They both loved it, I opted for water since I drank a bit this weekend already lol. We ordered appetizers and individual pizzas. I'm a sucker for a brussels sprouts appetizer and had to try theirs. This will be a repeat order, all the flavors balance each other so well(sweet, salty, and that mustard glaze yum). My friends enjoyed this as well. My friend's ordered the zucchini fritte and they enjoyed that. I ordered my favorite, tried and true The Calabrian (I love hot honey on anything lol). My friends ordered the Garlic & Broccolini (which would be my second choice). They both enjoyed their pizzas, my friend and I shared a sliced with each other. I like the garlic and broccolini as well, I enjoy a white sauce based pizza at times(I love broccoli on pizza, huge garlic person lol). They ordered dessert and coffee, and they both loved the pistachio crème brûlée. Overall it was a great evening with friends, delicious food and atmosphere. The service was friendly from when we arrived to the end. I'll add it to my date night list for my husband and I.

I really wanted to like Apizza Regionale more than I did…read more We started with the meatballs, which were incredibly small and unfortunately very dry. The sauce, however, was very good and easily the best part of the dish. The Porkstore arancini was also disappointing. They lacked flavor, and the portion size was surprisingly small. I would have much preferred one traditional, full-sized arancini because even combined, I'm not sure everything on the plate amounted to one. The pizza was good and ultimately the saving grace of the meal, but it wasn't anything that blew me away. For the price, I expected a higher level of quality, particularly when it came to the ingredients. I've had considerably better pizza made with better ingredients for roughly the same price elsewhere, even if admittedly not in Syracuse. The restaurant itself is very attractive and has a great atmosphere, but the food simply didn't justify the price for me. I left feeling like much of Apizza Regionale's appeal comes from the lack of serious competition for this particular style of restaurant in Syracuse rather than the food standing out on its own. Overall, it just wasn't for me, and I don't see myself returning.

I've had brunch, lunch, and dinner at MIX, and all with varying levels of enjoyment. My recent…read morebrunch experience included ordering a Where the West Begins omelette, which includes "Braised short rib, butternut squash, red onion jam, spinach, smoked gouda". I wasn't sure how to feel about butternut squash with everything else (I'm not necessarily a huge squash fan - but I'm trying to learn to enjoy it), but the omelette was decent... it's the other side on my plate that looked less than appetizing. The biscuit was still covered in flour (and who wants to bite down on a clump of flour?), the cheddar hashbrown casserole lacked in flavor, and the brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal just... wasn't doin' it for me. Other recent experiences have been similar... there's usually one item on the plate that's flavorful or imventive (sometimes a main dish, sometimes a side), and the other parts of the plate are lacking. In reality, I think MIX is suffering a bit from rising food costs and inconsistency in their service and offerings. They've also changed the style of their menu from the original tapas-style to now being more typical entree options. Again... they've lost some of their innovative, experimental approach. In terms of ambiance, it really depends. I've been here for a work event and, because of the number of people, it was SO LOUD... they had also done a buffet offering for the event. As you can imagine, the food from the buffet was lacking, but that's often what happens when you're more mass producing your food (and it's left in a chafing dish, trying to be kept warm). On the other hand, I've been here for a dinner on a random night and was able to enjoy one of their Thai noodle bowls (and split some other apps with friends). The reality is that experiences at MIX are... well... a mix. Whether service, menu offerings, etc., I've found MIX's recent inconsistencies to be a disappointment. Will probably only visit in the future if it's suggested by others.

I flew into Syracuse for work meetings and when flying out very early in the morning, I didn't know…read morewhere I was going to wait for my flight, while grabbing a quick bite and drink, so when walking through the terminal I came across this Escape Lounge. I normally scope out my options, especially when visiting new airports, but this being such a small airport, I didn't do this ahead of time, as I didn't think they would have any lounges. I got to the door at 4:28AM and saw the sign that they opened at 4:30AM. I was the only one there waiting for them to open and I was the first in when they did open - But immediately after that, there were many more checking in. Fortunately, I got first dibs on their scrambled eggs and other items for breakfast. The food selection was decent, not a lot, but decent. Service was great! The lady working check-in was also working the dining room/lounge and cleaning tables. I asked her about this and she said her co-worker called in (not sure if that meant they called they would be late or not coming in)... Sounds like a very unreliable, selfish, and typical millennial employee is her co-worker who would leave this lady to work alone. What if this lady "called in" too - then the club wouldn't open at all. Anyway, they need to get rid of her co-worker and get a more reliable person to help this lady. I watched her hustle between checking people in, then grabbing a tray to clear people's plates, etc... She was constantly moving. I felt bad for all the work she had to do, on her own. Anyway - It's a nice club. When coming through SYR in the future, I'd definitely return.

In the case of Mia, Executive Chef Yuttanun Nakaranuruck has crafted a superb mix of flavors and spices to fuse together the tastes of Japan, China, Thailand, and India into a unique and captivating menu. Mia has a sophisticated interior decor that holds fewer than ten tables. They don't take reservations (I would suggest they ought to do so) so one might have to nurse a beverage at the bar while waiting for a table. They do have outdoor seating behind the store but, in 90 degree heat, this was not a very appealing option. In the event, we were fortunate to claim a freshly vacated table and so our evening began without a hitch. This is a Pan-Asian tapas store that does offer larger plate options but the small plates variety and flair makes tapas the obvious choice. We were greeted by Andrew, and Englishman who made his way to the Finger Lakes and chose not to return to Bedfordshire. His service was attentive, punctual, and he offered insight into an interesting if unusal assortment of Asian fusion offerings. Our evening began with Hendricks extra dry Gibsons up before transitioning to the Argiano Winery Super Tuscan which is a delectable blend of French Cab and Merlot with Tuscan Sangiovese. It conveys dark cherry, raspberry, and plum with an earthy underbrush before yielding to a velvety finish. Argiano has made this a staple of their cellar and it never ceases to satisfy. Moreover, when confronted with a bold menu such as Mia's, this full bodied wine has more than enough muscle to stand up to Thai, Chinese, and Indian tapas. At Andrew's suggestion, we selected the Prawns in Kerala curry with Japanese eggplant, Thai sun-dried beef with sticky rice, braised pork belly in a star anise and ginger soyu, and sautéed Asian greens with a mushroom garlic soyu & truffle oil. This blend of tapas complemented each other perfectly and more than sated our hunger. Having said which, their limited yet thought-provoking sleection of desserts was compelling and we finished with an Asian twist on Creme Brulee with double espressos with a twist. Mia is an interesting venue with an engaging selection of intriguing dishes. We believe it merits your attention.
