    Chocolate Lava Cake
    Ted K.

    They don't have apples on the menu, but the food here is heavenly. The entrees (strip steak, filet and roast chicken) are the stars of the menu, taking advantage of the wood-fired oven. The desserts were fantastic as well, although the lemon tart is much more substantial than the chocolate lava cake. The roasted carrots were delicious but quite pricey for what you get. I'd pass on the root vegetable charcuterie. Hard to find from the street in Hanover Square. It's next to Maxwells. Cozy subterranean space. Tables by the wood fired area are the most charming

    The unassuming entrance, I finally entered. The smell was totally intoxicating, the vibes reminded me of Fish Friar. The iPad menu was a pleasant "boojie" surprise, along with the starting compliments-of-the-chef goat cheese crostini. A white glass of wine & lemon cocktail were needed with the beet salad (yummy flavors and textures) and Beef Confit (I personally didn't like). Then, I HAD to get the infamous strip, chimichuri with tons of mushrooms, as well as chicken that I can't remember the name of but was fall off the bone. Ended with the Lemon meringue which was a great flavor cleanser. Definitely returning for some fall dishes!l

    After hearing great things about Eden from friends and family, we finally gave it a try. We made a reservation for 5:30 and the restaurant was mostly empty when we arrived. We were seated at the bar, which was made of stone/concrete. The regular dinner tables were made of cool looking wood slabs, and the whole restaurant had a very approachable but still upscale vibe. They gave us a tablet with the menu and full wine list, and explained how to navigate it. I liked that the wine list had lots of local options, but featured selections from more typical wine regions like France and California as well. There weren't any mocktails listed, but when I asked the bartender he offered two mocktail options. I had the grapefruit one and it was very good. The food menu did not exactly match what was online, so I'd recommend coming in with an open mind or calling the restaurant if you had your heart set on a certain dish other than steak. For steaks, I noticed that they sold out of certain cuts throughout the evening, so I'd recommend a reservation on the early side if you want a full range of options. In general, I didn't find the service overly attentive, but we were checked on often enough and served fairly quickly. The bartender who was waiting on us did a nice job describing the cuts of steak available. Before our entrees arrived, they brought out an amuse bouche and a green salad, which is a nice touch. I had the pasta entree and my husband ordered a steak, and we both cleared our plates. We had the chocolate mousse for dessert which was a nice portion to share. Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant and hope to return soon. As someone who doesn't really eat steak, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed my meal and the overall experience.

    The service is friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food selection is not extensive. They have small plates and large plates. Steak, chicken, fish and pasta choices. All unique and cooked to order. I had NY Strip steak, as did another person in our party. Also selected... Halibut (beautiful presentation) and a pasta dish with goat cheese. All four of us loved our meals. Yummy sides and delicious sauces came with each one. Three folks ordered dessert (a lemon merengue, chocolate mousse, and a blueberry compote). Brian (our server - phenomenonal) brought me a spoon so I could sample them if allowed. Pretty funny! Everything is presented so well. This is a farm to table place with almost all food locally sourced. The Halibut is from Maine. The evening was a 10/10. Only thing they need to do differently is put felt on the bottom of the chair legs. Very noisy when chairs move!

    Eden is a great spot for an upscale dinner with a relaxed feel. The host was warm in greeting us and the menu is short but sweet (except maybe for their great selection of spirits and wine). They explain that 95% of what is served is sourced locally within the state of New York. I love this style of dining and am happy we have a spot right in here in Syracuse. My beeswax gin cocktail was delicious and each of the dishes we had tasted great. The halloumi, mushroom toast, and chicken were cooked perfectly. They had us eating up every bite and leaving the plate clean. Service was pleasant - they were attentive and helpful but never stiff. They made some modifications to the mushroom toast (bread on side) for my gluten allergy which I'm always grateful for. This is a great spot to grab a nightcap with a friend, split a glass of wine and a bite to eat or enjoy the full dinner service. The open wood fired kitchen gives the place a cozy, relaxed feel. We loved the food and will be back!

    Ember Roasted NY Strip

    This was our fourth time dining at Eden and served as a reminder for why we continue to come back for more. Girlfriend and I had a reservation for Valentine's Day and were seated promptly on-time. We opted for a glass of sparkling wine each, and shared the Beet Salad and Beef Confit appetizers to start off our evening. Delicious! Pleasantly surprised to find that the beets were served warm -- great flavor profile with the goat cheese. After having dined here multiple times, we both came in knowing what exactly we wanted for our entrees -- the NY Strip. These were both cooked perfectly and were a great serving size, in fact, larger than we remember! A great amount of kale on both made for a well-balanced dish with a tremendous flavor profile from the wood-fired steak and chimichurri. I opted to add the compound butter to mine, which proved to be the cherry on top of a delicious meal. Finally, we finished with the chocolate mousse, which is a must for us every time we dine here. Overall, we had a wonderful meal and memorable visit to Eden. We did feel a bit rushed at times by the waitstaff checking in to clear plates, but nothing that impacted our evening to an overwhelmingly negative degree. We will definitely be back for our next special occasion!

    This restaurant is just wonderful the lighting and plants etc lend to the "Eden" atmosphere which are newer changes and just make this restaurant and even better place to have a special dinner. The food of course was amazing with steaks cooked to perfection and the capelletti is to die for!!!! Small plates were all fantastic and the local red blend wine from standing stone was the perfect addition to our meal. Thank you to Paige and Tyler for the amazing service and the the food as always was just perfection!

    We were a party of 6 that dropped to three and they were super understanding! Brian was our waiter and he was fabulous! I couldn't decide on a cocktail so opted for sparkling water and he didn't push or ask me again which I appreciated. He was knowledgeable and answered all our questions! Everything was perfect! Every single bite! Food is on the pricier side but so worth it! Fresh, tasty and cooked perfectly! We will be back!

    Amuse-bouche
    Amber Y.

    We loved the atmosphere stepping into Eden for dinner. It's smaller than I anticipated, but cozy, and smells of lovely wood fire. The service is top notch, with no detail missed from an Amuse-bouche to a special interactive wine menu, to a kind manager walking around and helping with things like tucking in your coat when she sees it hanging on the floor. Top-notch! Kyle was such an amazing delight and gave us the perfect amount of attention and space. Now the good part (food!) I started with the Red blend and the beet salad. The beets were warm and perfectly cooked, and the dish had some tangy like mandarin oranges, and delicious melty goat cheese. It was delicious! The Amuse-bouche was a little crouton with goat and pickled grape. I don't think I've had a more delicious goat cheese in my life- perfectly balanced and lovely tasting. I didn't love the red blend, but it was fine. It was lighter than any red blend I've had, but I noticed later that it was a NY region wine so maybe that's why. I went on to try the Malbec, which was much more of what I was looking for. For dinner, I had the strip steak and my partner had the halibut. Both dishes were delicious! I may have scaled back just slightly on the saltiness on the strip dish, as it was on the border of too much. Steak was cooked to medium rare although ordered medium, but I didn't mind- it was delicious. Chimichurri was lovely, and I enjoyed the smashed potatoes. Menu was a touch on the pricey side, but I think it was well worth it to have locally sourced and sustainably sourced foods. We'll be back to try some more goodies!

    I apologize as I cannot remember the exact names of the meal other than generalized meal. My descriptions do not even give this food justice as they were phenomenal. Great ambience and staff. To be honest...this is another great and surprising Yelp find.

Quality of the food depends. The $18 salad was a plate of iceberg lettuce with a few scraps of cheese thrown on. The salad was the biggest disappointment. On the other hand, the classic poutine was bang on. Great ratio of gravy to fries, everything was nice, all the flavors were right. But the rest of the poutines have too much quality variation, which is unforgivable for a place advertising their 12 different kinds of poutine. None of the other flavors were nearly as good as the classic, with combos that didn't work. The burger was tasty. However, it was supposed to be medium and it was very rare. The beer cheese pretzel was also disappointing. The cheese had been cooked too long, or maybe microwaved, because it had seized and was very coarse and mealy. The amount of cheese was also not enough for the pretzel. Service was great. No complaints about any of the waitresses or hostesses. Overall, a fine place near downtown to get a classic poutine and an artisanal beer. Stay away from everything else.

    It's been a while since I'd last been but everything is as amazing as I remembered…read more I've seen them advertise their monthly "flight night" events for some time but never actually had been to one. When I saw an espresso martini and cake pairing, I knew I had to pull the trigger. Met up with some friends and we all ordered food beforehand to offset the impending sugar rush. I'd had their naan pizza in the past and loved it, so this time I went with the one that had caramelized onions and goat cheese. AMAZING. Crispy crust, melty cheese, tangy onions and the perfect amount of everything in every bite. Then onto the main event: the flights! The staff brought over our cake and drinks and were so great about explaining what to pair together. (There was also a card) Desserts were a carrot cake with the most impossibly airy icing, a pistachio cheesecake with chocolate ganache, and a chocolate cake with a light nutella icing. I'm usually a carrot cake girlie and while I enjoyed it, the cheesecake was actually my favorite. Just the perfect pistachio flavor and a wonderful consistency -- so, so smooth. Our waitress told us that the owner is the one that makes all of the desserts too. A multi-talented queen. As far as the martinis, my favorite was the affogato one. These flight-nights are one-off events and the items aren't normally on the menu, so if you see one that looks extra appealing, get yourself there! I've been for normal service too though, and honestly, never have had a misfire here. One thing I especially love is the option to order drinks in 5oz pours, a godsend for lightweights like me.

The Evergreen's menu itself is accessed through a QR code where their full list of options and specials are listed.

The vegetarian options are a regular part of the restaurant and the fried tofu I had was genuinely satisfying and well done. My cajun pasta was maybe a touch over but I was okay with it since it had my condiment obsession of chili crisp in it. The menu is well marked for dietary needs. A great thing of note is that they have women's, men's, AND an all-gender bathroom. I appreciate the inclusion in the food and restaurant itself.
