Veal and spinach pasta.

Jazz on Thursday. Warm atmosphere. Good for dates or groups. Many stop at the bar after golf or work

Fireplace inside

I really enjoyed brunch at Persimmons! When we arrived, we parked in the lower parking lot (closest to the restaurant entrance) and were seated right away. I liked the way the restaurant was decorated and especially how persimmons are used throughout the decor. We ordered an appetizer, mains, and dessert and the timing of everything was very nice. The refilled our water regularly as well. The wedge salad was delicious, but the crème brûlée trio was the star of the show for me. Persimmons has been added to my list of top brunch spots in the area!

Chicken and waffles
Joanne R.

I've been here twice for lunch. The first time was a lovely day and I sat outside with my friends. It's so pretty outside and we enjoyed the view. Our server was very attentive. 2 of us ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffles were burnt and inedible and I said something to the waitress and she took the plates back and had it remade. They came back quickly and much better. The managers came over and apologized and offered us free deserts or to take something off the bill (we took desert). I love cream brûlée so ordered the trio. The flavors were lemon, vanilla and orange. That was one of the best desert I've ever had!! The second time I went with my sister and it was a rainy day so had to sit inside. The inside is also very pretty with high back booths for privacy. I ordered the Asian salad with grilled chicken. I have to say that the salad was just ok with not a lot of flavor on the chicken and the dressing was runny with little flavor. My sister had the Rueben sandwich which she said was ok but small and she has had better. We both ordered the cream brûlée for desert because I couldn't wait to have it again. It didn't disappoint. I would go again and try something else and sit on the patio on a nice day.

My friends and I decided to come to Persimmon's for a ladies night dinner. We opted to sit outside since it was pretty busy inside. We were the only ones outside due to it being chilly but we dressed warm. A bit disappointing that they don't have heaters or fire pits with lounge chairs/seating on such a beautiful patio overlooking the golf course. The service was not great and it took a very long time to even get drinks. The food was disappointing as well. We got the burrata appetizer that was supposed to have cranberry compote, pistachios and served with crackers. For $16 I was certainly not expecting to be served burrata with cold jam on top and those cheap butterfly butter crackers you get from the grocery store. Think I'll just stick with getting cocktails at the bar here from now on.

Persimmons is located in a beautiful area and is very nicely designed inside. However the service, food and experience was very lackluster. The glassware was filthy, on our table and set throughout the restaurant. The polishing cloth left lint in the inside and there were fingerprints all over the glasses. Servers don't use trays and our server carried over my coffee, cream and sugar caddy in her hands with coffee sloshing down the sides. It was absolutely dead and no reason for sloppy, frantic service. I wouldn't even expect this at a diner so pretty shocking to experience at a "nicer" brunch. The food was okay, typical breakfast food. We had the steak and eggs and breakfast burrito. The bar drinks were good, and we shared the creme brûlée that was great. We ended up leaving a ~$19 and unfortunately noticed a few days later and our server put a $25 tip into the card. It's not a huge difference but the principle matters. When we tried to call the restaurant we could not get ahold of someone and it went to voicemail. Hope to hear back to get this resolved. All in all, I would not recommend this place. They clearly don't have a lot of direct competition in the area and will probably get by just fine but they are certainly not worth going out of your way for a visit.

A beautiful building in a quiet remote location just a few minutes from Baldwinsville. My first visit here was for a Mardi Gras show by the Soda Ash Six. They had a special menu of cocktails, apps and mains for the show. I ordered a spicy rum cocktail to start, along with the Oyster Po Boy sandwich with fries. I asked for garlic aioli instead of ketchup for no upcharge. Everything was perfectly done. I finished with a blackberry gin based cocktail for dessert. I would easily come here again.

You feel like you are in a nice cozy lodge complete with a fireplace and seating area. Every one from the hostess to the server was professional, friendly, and accommodating. The food was fantastic and there wasn't a huge wait. I wish I left room for dessert because they had some great options. I went on a Sunday for the brunch menu but I look forward to going back and trying more of their dinner menu.

Erica O.

The restaurant is beautifully designed and I can't wait to go back when the weather is nice and the outside seating is open. A big thank you to our server Paige! She took care of 4 "crazy ladies" and was so professional and friendly. I was quite early, but I appreciate that I was seated so I could get comfortable, look over the menu and order a drink. I started with the Orchard Spritz mocktail - pear, apple, lime and club soda which was very refreshing. Warm sliced bread was served with a very flavorful dipping oil. The table's food consisted of The Mussels appetizer, Asian Salad, Short Ribs, Crispy Chicken Milanese, Creamy Shrimp, sausage and Gouda Grits. We shared sides of Mashed potatoes, Macaroni and cheese and Brussel Sprouts with pancetta. The portion sizes were very nice and the food was hot and fresh. The mussels were served in garlic, shallots, white wine and butter. I could have made them my entire meal and we all kept dunking the bread in the amazing butter sauce. My shrimp and grits were creamy, smoky, spicy and each component was cooked perfectly. The short rib was so tender and the potatoes and spinach in the maple and mustard sauce were delicious. The Chicken Milanese was moist and very crispy, there wasn't a lot of seasoning but it was topped with a large salad of arugula, fennel, onions, tomatoes and lemon vinaigrette. When eaten all together, the flavor profile was fresh and complete. We had the Apple Bread Pudding, Flourless Chocolate Tortellini and Creme Brulee trio. They were all very good but I have to say the apple bread pudding was my favorite.... crispy top, not too sweet, served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We can't wait to go back.

Short rib melt great flavor

Persimmons, BVille. Found this GEM on Yelp by accident and so happy I did. Taylor great service. Denise hostess also excellent. Both friendly and informative. Food, Buffalo Cheddar Cheeseburger, Black garlic aioli, crispy jalapenos, bacon, lettuce,tomato and fries or sweet potato fries. Cooked medium rare and was very juicy and delicious. One of the best burgers. Braised Beef & Cheese Panin, Havarti & cheddar cheese, wasabi ranch dressing, pickled red onions, hot banana peppers, ciabatta bread. Served with french fries or sweet potato fries. Carrot Cake, normally based on diet, do not get dessert but Taylor, said it is worth it. She was spot on. That good and better. The restaurant is located at the end of the road and is very nice inside. Lots of various seating. Bar is very nice. Highly recommended.

Crispy chicken milanese.
Pam Y.

We had reservations and were seated quickly. They had live music and the place was packed, especially for a Tuesday night! The lychee martini was delicious. I had the crispy chicken milanese. A crispy chicken breast topped with a salad of greens, fennel, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, and grated cheese. It was beautiful and tasty! Service was great, and the music was a bonus!

Lamb and steak
Kylia V.

We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. Incredible food, service and scenery- we were outside overlooking the golf course with a beautiful sunset! A perfect ending to my birthday

Bob B.

Great lunch! Southwestern Queso Burger Roasted poblano, smoked cheddar queso, pico and fried tortilla strips; and Chicken Salad Sandwich served on cranberry & walnut bread...Diet soda and an IPA. The weather was perfect and we chose to eat outdoors overlooking the golf course. Service was good. Waitress was excellent (friendly w/ just the right amount of attention.) We were not in a hurry and enjoyed relaxing lunch without feeling rushed.

Green goddess potato salad
Cyndi H.

Beautiful place! Follow the entrance road all the way to the end parking lot by the boat docks building is on the left. Gap in signage and using IMAPs was a bit confusing as to which building it was. Located in the 9th hole of the golf course we opted for outdoor seating on a breezy comfy late summer Saturday late afternoon. Lunch menu missing a few things we would have liked to try so we went with fried mozzarella bites to start which come served with Carolina BBQ drizzle...tasty and quite a few of them. I ordered the fish tacos going with one of that days options the blackened salmon. The green goddess potato salad peaked my interest and I added that. Tacos were perfect and salad very flavorful. Dining partner chose the smash burger with fries. He knows his burgers and I had to agree by the texture of it they were frozen patties. Sadly a smash burger should be juicy inside with crispy edges smashed together not dry equal in size and shape thin patties. Fries were good but Sysco makes good ones. He had a soda I had a glass of wine ($10 good size Pour) total meal came to $68 plus tip. Our server was the best, very cheerful always smiling checking immediately after a few bites and periodically to be sure we had all we needed. Her cute southern y'all had us curious where she was from and surprisingly here but close friends all southern she picked up some of their lingo. We will try dinner another time hope she is there when we go. Would have been 5 star but for the frozen burgers. Would expect better from this establishment based on everything else.

The onion rings were pretty good, too. I gotta say for a place that kinda screams "overpriced", it really isn't. Came to almost exactly 50 dollars for two burgers with fries, order of onion rings, and a soft drink. Honestly? In this economy? Pretty fair for the size and quality. 6 dollars for a shake kinda surprised me too, albeit I didn't order one. Server was nice. Place was probably overstaffed, but pretty great experience overall. Very pleasantly surprised. Check it out.

Don't get me wrong, it was a good burger, but those pickles are elite, do not skip them! The fries were also very crispy and seasoned well. I only docked a star because the thing was extremely messy and fell apart at the end! I also want to plug our waitress and the cooking staff. The waitress was extremely kind and speedy to bringing over drinks and taking our order. The kitchen had our three burgers out in less than 10 minutes, which was much appreciated. I will definitely go back again! I didn't get the shake this time around but I have had a chocolate shake before, and that is absolutely worth your time.

They chose the spot, and I'm glad they did! It was Thursday night, opening night of March Madness- and they also had a euchre tournament going on too...at least I think it was euchre? Parking was tough because it was so busy. We were able to get a table for dinner, and Bailey Z was our server. She was great! Friendly, helpful and professional. Never needed to ask for anything because she had it covered. I had a big lunch, and my nephew and brother also had a late lunch so I tried to go "light". Haha Started with a Bloody Mary with no garnishes, asked for some spice and it delivered! They were running a specials menu, so I started with the Reuben egg rolls. Super crunchy, had great flavor, and it had to have been a homemade 1000 island dressing. It was heavenly. My brother went with the Turkey Cobb salad, it was giant, bountiful, and looked really robust. My nephew ordered 20 wings to share with everyone. Half garlic parm, half sweet chili. Blue cheese also seemed to be homemade, I automatically ask for extra and it was worth it. I ordered the French onion soup, and the bacon cheeseburger dip which came with tricolored tortilla chips, seasoned and a perfect vehicle for the dip. Everyone was happy with the food. Too happy, we had leftovers and I have to say that the Reuben rolls and wings were still good as leftovers. It's a good thing I don't live in Syracuse because I'd have been there every weekend. It was packed inside, so we knew it was popular. Thanks to Bailey and the team for a great evening! I'll be back!

High end technology creates amazing sound and lighting! My phone warned me repeatedly off loud noise. Lol. Lots of seating available to get a drink and bite to eat.

Raspberry Martini and a High noon $17. Not bad! $10 admission for Arcade. Great Concession stand offering quick bite options, or go early and dine in the restaurant or spacious bar. We ordered Pretzel Logs with Beer Cheese four for $8, another good deal! They were soft and warm with beer cheese that was delish! Our group likes to be right in front of the stage so it's challenging navigating a crowded venue, but this is such a great space with outdoor tables and seating as well.

We basically had the place to ourselves. Service was great! She was very attentive and split our checks for us, which I know is a pain. Food was great! I read other reviews and we didn't have those issues. Well, I would say one thing could improve and that was the French onion soup wasn't as hot as it could be. However, my plate was piping hot as was the chicken noodle soup. Barry burger was fantastic! I thought it was be too sweet, but it was the perfect blend. The garlic parm fries are addictive! There is plenty of parking and I like that. We didn't utilize the outside area as it was snowing. Overall, no complaints.

Went here during dining weeks to celebrate a birthday. Made a reservation for 6 pm and was seated…read morepromptly upon arriving. I was not expecting them to be kid friendly, as they are a little more upscale, but they asked if we wanted a high chair and kids menu for our toddler! The dining room has clearly been upgraded recently and was beautiful! Our server explained the various menus and specials and quickly took our drink orders. However, service started to decline after this. We had ordered the warm bread basket, and never ended up getting it. By the time we realized they had forgotten about it, we didn't feel like it was worth it. Our salads and soups came out quickly, but everything else took a while. When we would finish one course, it would take 10-15 min to clear our empty plates. The waitress also didn't check in with us very often to see if we wanted to order more drinks. I will also say that more places should start bringing our young kids entrees before the adults. It can be very tough for a toddler to patiently wait 30 minutes for their food. Once we got our food, I will say everything was quite delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and had excellent flavor. Portion sizes were also great. I did find an unmashed chunk in my whipped potatoes, but the taste made up for that. The kids mac and cheese was also delicious and the portion was huge! For dessert, we had the option of creme brûlée cheesecake or flourless chocolate torte. Both were decadent and a good way to end the meal. We definitely want to give this place another try, as the food was good. They just need to work out some kinks with their service.

When we were seated, we were immediately greeted by our server who was just as friendly and attentive as the bar staff. The menu isn't very big, but what they do have is very good. There was live entertainment which consisted of a gentleman on the electric piano singing songs. His selection of music was a perfect choice for people enjoying their dinner. Nice soft music and we never felt like we had to make an effort to talk over the music. He also had a wonderful voice and took a request from us to play Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World which he absolutely knocked out of the park! The owner stopped by our table a couple of times to check on us and was attentive without being over the top. I'd definitely recommend this place for a nice relaxing meal and some great entertainment on a Friday night. We'll definitely be back.

Also... their biscoff milkshake...DELICIOUS!

The sauce went well with everything and wasn't overly gooey/messy. The bun also held up well. The "better fries" with the seasoning were AMAZING. A little sweet, a little heat, and the right amount of salt. I got a lot in my order, which was really nice. They're definitely worth the slight up-charge. THE "MEH": The size of the burger was a little underwhelming. There were certainly plenty of toppings in general (sauce, tomato, lettuce, onion, pickles, and cheese) but like I said, it was somewhat small for what we paid. I got mine to go, so I wasn't expecting it to be ripping hot, but it was kinda lukewarm. The cheese was melted, but it wasn't "melty" if you catch my drift. The "better sauce" was solid, but didn't stand out. Fry balance was inconsistent between my wife and I. She got regular fries (which were tasty!) but she got significantly less than I did. Not sure if they have a full staff or not, but it took about 5 minutes to have someone come to the counter to hand me the bag that was by the kitchen. The person there was nice, though! SUMMARY: Not our regular burger spot, but may be a nice occasional stop in (milkshakes look good)! It's pricey for what you get, but it was still a solid meal and we will definitely go back at some point. It was pretty empty when I stopped in and it sounds like it's been that way. It looks like a good spot, and these folks definitely deserve your business.
