    December's monthly brunch for a girl's Xmas exchange. I had never been here before, wow, What a cozy, girlie (in the best way) spot! I feel like homes as restaurants is a dying art. We HAD to start with the $16 bottomless mimosas * yum. I got a simple order of avocado toast with added eggs, which hit the spot for an easy meal, and the others got the breakfast burger & a panini. The ladies were super kind and it was a great spot. Our friend had her baby shower here, and from what I heard it was BEAUTIFUL!!! we didn't, but check out the Two Twisted Sisters shops!

    Such a quaint spot! There is outdoor seating in warmer weather as well. They have a coffee and smoothie bar as well as a pretty amazing gift shop upstairs. You can park across the street in the church parking lot of on the street and walk over. Or use the Baldwinsville main park lot and cross over the bridge by foot. They do have a small parking lot, but I don't count on it having spots all the time. The staff has super friendly every time I've been in. If they have the mousse it's a must!!

    Steak salad

    This is the cutest place! Very friendly and experienced staff. My group stopped to do "blind date with a book" and grab dinner. I got the steak salad which my steak was not medium as asked but the flavors were amazing! Overall, wonderful experience

    I've been here before but I heard they have new Owners and wanted to check it out. The main floor has been changed to all seating and a small bar. I love it! The upstairs now has all the vendors with jewelry, clothes, candles, soaps, baby items... many cool things. We were greeted by Claire our server and seated. She was very friendly and put on a fresh pot of coffee for us. My sister & I didn't want a whole panini so we split the chicken salad panini with a side of black bean salad. We also had a cup of soup. I had the special of stuffed pepper and my sister the french onion. Both were served with toasted garlic bread (yum). The sandwich was split for us and we each got a generous side of that black bean salad. We finished with a slice of homemade coconut cream pie. Everything was delicious and service was amazing! I will definitely be back and take advantage of the outdoor seating in the better weather. They have longer hours now with evening seatings.

    Carrot cake

    What a lovely little restaurant, locally owned and operated. My hubby and I had our Valentine Day lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I made reservations, and upon arrival, was led to a table with a small decorative chalk board with my name. I advise making recommendations because the dining rooms are small.The menu contained many cocktails, wines and craft beer in addition to a nice selection of non-alcoholic drinks. I ordered a white sangria which tasted more like a mimosa, with orange juice, fruit and something sparkling. If I received the wrong drink, I didn't care. I started with a cup of tomato bisque soup, the daily special. This was full bodied and contained some texture with veggies and tomatoes. For a main I had the tuna panini. Delightful! Sandwiches come with the side and I chose a small side salad, which was lovely. Because it was Valentine's Day. I decided to order dessert. And was so glad I did. The carrot cake was awesome. Service is great, and the food was delivered promptly though I never felt rushed. The interior of the restaurant is very homey with two small dining rooms. There is a gift shop as you enter and throughout the restaurant, you can also see various items for sale. It very much has a tea shop feel to it. Seemed to me that there were a number of "regulars" enjoying this home made food.

    Mediterranean turkey panini and salad with a raspberry balsamic vinaigrette

    This is one of my favorite spots for lunch! They make everything fresh and it taste amazing! The staff is always super friendly, the atmosphere is cozy and relaxing and the decor is adorable! It's a beautiful little gem in baldwinsville, I highly reccomend! My favorite is their paninis and the trio of warm dips, they are all spectacular! The flavor is outstanding and you can taste that everything is made fresh! The trio of warm dips is large enough to be a meal for 3 people! It's oh so tasty and there is a spinach artichoke dip, Buffalo chicken dip and a white bean dip served with fresh warm tortilla chips, pita bread and toasted French bread. If you don't finish it all you'll have a wonderful snack to take home for later! Even my two young boys loved the food here and they are picky. I normally come here with girlfriends for lunch, we celebrate birthdays and more, but recently I treated my boys to lunch and all the staff were sweet to my boys! A nice bonus upstairs they sell locally handcrafted items from candles, jewelry, scarfs to decor; even my boys loved shopping. On a warm day they have a lovely spot to eat outside and enjoy the fresh air. I have yet to do this, but it looks wonderful. They are located right in the heart of baldwinsville so you could make an afternoon of it to get lunch and take a walk over the bridge to see the Seneca river.

    Caprese sandwich with French onion soup
    Velnette J.

    We stopped in here after dress shopping. It is such a cute place, with a beautiful patio, tons of little stores inside, and the quaint little restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised with the gluten free options! I ordered the caprese gf sandwich with the French onion soup. Everything was so full of flavor and delicious! The gluten free bread was soooo good! Our server was a little brash, but did what she needed to do. I would definitely return!

    Walked in just before closing and owner was still very welcoming and did not make us feel rushed. This is typical cafe food done well. The courtyard is very cute!

People seem to forget that the servers, bartenders and cooks are human. My favorite part of Persimmons is that the service isn't super fast. It so nice to just sit and enjoy conversation and not feel like you are being rushed. One time at brunch our server told us to just flip our table topper upright when we were ready to order so that we didn't feel rushed. Food: I love the menu! My husband loved the catfish. Truffle fries are amazing. Brussel sprouts are delicious. I have not tried the calamari yet but have seen several people order and rave about it. It looks amazing. Super odd but I'm obsessed with the grilled chicken on the salad. It's literally cooked to perfection every time! The house salad dressing is amazing. Ooo and the wings. The Georgia bbq has just the slightest peach flavor. It's so good. Compliments to the new chef! I'm really excited to see what else he brings to the menu. Drinks: probably the highlight for me. The bartenders are amazing!! Charlie, Sienna, and Azalea are amazing! Overall: how about that manager!!! I just love him! He works so hard to make sure every guest feels special and taken care of. So thankful to have such a nice welcoming place to spend a Friday evening at.

It was from the beginning nothing less than disappointing to say the least. It came recommended from friends and family, but turned out to be less than desired. Starting out from requiring $3 to have some warm bread, which is akin to showing up to a Mexican restaurant that wants to charge you for chips & and salsa. Then following up to charging for $9 for a draft beer which is basically the price for a 6 pack. But all of that aside, they have a Haddock Fish Fry on Special. So I figure I'll have that and when she offers something other than fries, I say I'd like the mashed potatoes with gravy, (trying to choose a healthier option), she informs me they don't have gravy. Who serves mashed potatoes without gravy???? I mean seriously???!! So, I go ahead with the mashed without gravy, and hope for the best. Well.....................as could be expected at this point.............the fried Haddock is crusted in "who knows what!", but is the worst "Friday Night Fish Fry" that I have ever had. It was crusted in the most tasteless and over cooked coating that I have ever tasted. It was over cooked as well. It is one of the only meals i have not finished in recent years, which is frustrating for me as a local restaurant, but I cannot let this lack of quality continue for my fellow guests. Dine well my friends.

A few minutes later, another couple came in. We told them we had been waiting there for about ten minutes. Finally, a female employee came over. I told her we had been there a while. Her response? "Well, I guess you should have said something then." NOT in a pleasant tone. Isn't it her job to greet customers, especially since we were the only ones there?? The final straw was when she LICKED her fingers before picking up the menu. No thanks...... We left.

On multiple occasions, I've received a notification that my order was ready for pickup, only to arrive and be told it would actually take another 25 minutes. That's frustrating and defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. If the app or online ordering system says an order is ready, it should accurately reflect its status. Otherwise, it gives the impression that orders are being marked as "ready" to satisfy internal performance metrics or timing goals rather than because they're actually prepared. Accurate communication and realistic pickup times would make for a much better customer experience. This issue could be resolved with better communication and more accurate order tracking. If the kitchen is running behind, simply updating the estimated pickup time or sending a notification about the delay would set the right expectations and save customers an unnecessary trip. Most people are understanding when delays happen, they just want honesty, timely updates. Being transparent about wait times builds trust and creates a much better overall customer experience than marking an order as ready before it actually is.

The dining room was spacious and clean and bright as were the servers and the bartenders who expertly served us. They have a happy hour from 5 to 7 that varies each day so on this Thursday was half price on selected appetizers as well as $2.50 domestic select drafts. We got there about 10 after five and the bar quickly filled up, which seemed to be regulars, which was a good sign. We decided to linger a little bit over our first drinks and ordered deep fried cheese curds with a delicious margarita type tomato sauce. I had never had fried cheese curds and they were plentiful and came out steaming hot topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, unfortunately I did not take a picture as we were hungry and dove right in. When it was time for our second drink, I pondered over their wine list, but decided that with my Reuben and mac & cheese dinner a cold draft would suffice. My husband ordered the Philly cheesecake sandwich and onion rings. The mac & cheese and the onion rings were up charges of $2.50 and they were worth it. The cheesesteak sandwich was not shaved beef, but wonderfully thick pieces of beef on a perfectly toasted bun type with cheese and peppers. The onion rings were generous as well as crisp and not overly breaded. My Reuben was perfectly toasted on a delicious rye bread with just the right amount of sauce to not make it soggy. The star was their mac & cheese served in a steaming hot crock! It was creamy, not too cheesy, but cheesy enough to know that you were digging into a delicious bite of mac & cheese.. well done kitchen!

But the menu is more diverse than you might expect - along with barbecue and steaks, the regular menu includes several seafood and pasta dishes, burgers and barbecue sandwiches, wings and fried appetizers. Rancher's Choice has been on my list for a while in my search for great BBQ in CNY. Recently stopped with some friends for lunch but unfortunately, it was a let down. We had a reservation just in case, but it was 1PM on a Sunday, so we were sat immediately - 1 or 2 other tables sat. Our server was with us immediately. My wife and I ordered a 2 meat platter to share with smoked kielbasa, brisket, smoked mac & cheese and onion rings. One of our friends also ordered a platter, while the other, who's a pescatarian, went with shrimp scampi. Our food was brought relatively quickly and mostly everyone felt their dishes were just okay. Our 2 meat platter had small portions (for 2 people, maybe that's on us), all our meats were cold, a small squirt of BBQ sauce on our meats, and our smoked kielbasa and smoked mac and cheese had no smoke to them and just tasted like normal offerings anyone could have prepared. While we know most of the pricing when it comes to BBQ comes along with the labor involved in preparing it, what was served to us simply wasn't worth over $30. With only 1 or 2 other tables sat, we didn't feel there was any reason for our meats to be cold either. Our server was great, personable and attentive. Don't think we'd give it another chance.
