We weren't disappointed. We sat at the bar this time - Outstanding bar and ambiance. We met a very excellent bar man who made us some outstanding cocktails. I had two most excellent gin martinis. We started with the mushrooms and fried egg. Outstanding like the first time. We had the wood fired filets for our main. We had a dessert this time. It was a flourless chocolate creation that was sumptuous. Once again, an outstanding meal. I really love this place.

I was the only returning patron, the others much enjoyed their first time here. Walking through the front door you're instantly hit with a wonderful smell of food cooking over an open fire. Got a terrific table to look out the window and enjoyed a nice evening view. Took full advantage of every food meal course available. Started out with their evening appetizer of homemade bread with cinnamon butter. Each of us got our own dinner choice along with small plates to start. The two small plates were green lentil salad and ember roasted carrots. Both of them with their unique flavor and style. The green lentil salad featured heirlooms. The ember roasted carrots featured labrieth, doqqa, and maple syrup. Keep in mind everything here comes from local farms and local breweries and distilleries. Big fan of supporting the state and local community. Fantastic! They feature only a few main entrées, tonight's included halibut, steak, chicken, and sea Island peas with jasmine rice. Knowing how well seasoned their steaks are, I went with a filet mignon 10 ounce. Probably a little more than I should've gotten, but I very rarely eat steak and know how well and good they are here. Ordered the steak medium to medium rare and that's exactly how it came out. Mouth watering delicious. Along with the steak includes mashed potatoes, chimichurri, kale, and. crème fraiche. Every bite was outstanding. One of us got ice cream for dessert which she said was very good. The ice cream was made right there at the restaurant. We kicked off the dinner with a rum cocktail and a tequila cocktail. All spirits locally sourced. If you haven't tried it here yet you should. You will not be disappointed.

Peruvian-Japanese! 4.7…read more We were far from home. It was our participation in Ross Bentley's Driver Development Course in Lafayette that brought us to the Syracuse area (see my review for Pineview Run Auto & Country Club). With the track only 20 minutes away, Syracuse was the best option for hotels and dining. Inka's Peruvian cuisine, with a splash of "Nikkei," was exactly what we were looking for and precisely what our bodies needed for fuel after some intense driving. The migration of Japanese immigrants to Peru in the late 1800s and early 1900s was the beginning of what eventually evolved into one of Peru's distinctive culinary traditions, now known as Nikkei. This unique cuisine blends Japanese techniques and ingredients with Peruvian flavors and traditions. At Inka's, those Peruvian roots take center stage, with touches of Nikkei cuisine developed by Chef Flavio Solórzano. We started with two cocktails: Maracuyá Sour (pisco, aquafaba, citrus and passion fruit) and Cuzco (Empress cucumber-lemon gin, mint, lemon juice, St-Germain and soda). Both were beautifully balanced and delicious. We finished them off rather quickly, which naturally led us to order a pitcher of red sangria. It was wonderfully refreshing after a long, hot day and paired beautifully with our meal. For our meal, we ordered: * Chicharrones de Calamari ~ Perfectly light and crispy breaded calamari, with both rings and tentacles, fried to a delicate crunch and served with their house tartar sauce. * Pollo a la Brasa ~ Peruvian-marinated chicken, slow-roasted over wood and charcoal until the skin was beautifully golden and crisp. It was served with french fries and their signature ají pollero sauce. The entrée also came with an ensalada verde, a side salad of mixed greens, tomato, onions and avocado tossed in a homemade vinaigrette. * Arroz Chaufa ~ Peruvian-style fried rice, wok-tossed with egg, scallions and lettuce in a sweet orange-pineapple sauce and topped with crispy fried spring onions. We added the seafood option of calamari, fish and shrimp. The rice was perfectly textured and nicely seasoned, with a subtle sweetness from the sauce. This dish can also be made gluten-free upon request. * Apple Tart ~ For dessert, we shared an Apple Tart. It was a lovely way to round out our dinner. Everything was delicious. Normally, for variety, we like to order an assortment of dishes and take the leftovers home so we can enjoy them again later. However, traveling far from home didn't make that particularly practical this time. I would have loved to sample more of the menu, especially some of their Nikkei selections. We also enjoyed Inka's inviting and cheerful atmosphere. The greenery cascading across the ceiling is eye-catching and seems to serve as the room's centerpiece, even if you have to look up to appreciate it. Your eyes are naturally drawn upward. It's a wonderful setting for a date night or a lively dinner with friends or a group. The service was friendly and prompt, adding to an already enjoyable evening. We were far from home, but Inka's made our night in Syracuse feel like a delicious little destination of its own. Hope we can return one day!

The attention to detail and design is hard to not appreciate. We don't have the most exotic palettes so decided to pass on the appetizers, assuming there will atleast be bread or something on the table. There was not. We also just asked for water and were a little surprised that we drank $16 worth. We chose the swordfish and flat iron melange. The swordfish was a bit over cooked IMO and bland. But, the vegetables were great. The flat iron was cooked perfectly. It had a great flavor but was a little chewy, not terribly though. The vegetables with that dish were also quite good. Dessert was not appealing enough for the price. I was happy to try this place. It has potential for being a little bit better and hope it works out but we likely wouldn't return for a very long time.
