Sara Z.

My husband and I are visiting Syracuse from Michigan decided to hit the town for a date night. We were looking for quality food served in a pleasant environment. After much research, we decided on 317 @ Montgomery. We made reservations for 7 and arrived early, taking our time finding parking. The street that it is located on is historical and beautiful. The streets were clean and street parking was easy to find. There was a lot less than a block away as well. Upon arriving we were greeted by our server Mike, who seated us. He was professional from the moment we met him to the moment we left. Mike was an exceptional server. He was prompt, attentive, kind, funny and polite and provided us with 5 star service. We were very impressed by his professionalism and elite social skills. The food was nothing short of phenomenal. We started out with the Creamy dip with Lump Crab, Roasted corn and Artichoke Hearts.  The crab was Smokey and the sweetness of the corn paired beautifully with the artichoke hearts and creamy sauce. It was served with Naan that was soft on the inside and toasted to perfection on the outside. Next, we each had the Crispy Romaine and House salad, which consisted of Mixed Greens, Tossed in House Made Tarragon Vinaigrette that made my eyes roll into the back of my head. It was topped with creamy crumbled goat cheese, fresh shredded carrots and Nutmeg Dusted Baked Pear that made my mouth water. Quite possibly wine of the most delectable salads I've ever had. For our main course we both decided on the 12oz ribeye, grilled to Perfection, Served with Crispy Smashed Potatoes and Roasted, Sweet and Spicy Heirloom Carrots. My husband got his with the Rosemary Demi-glace and I got the Creamy Peppercorn Sauce. He loved the rosmary Demi-glaze, but I need to toot the horn on the creamy peppercorn sauce. It was just the right amount of spice, adding a tangy bit of heat to each bite, but never overpowering the grilled flavor of the perfectly seared meat. The potatoes were crispy on the outside (actually head a crunch when I split them with my fork) and perfectly soft on the inside. The carrots were mouthwatering and their texture was superb, just the right amount of firmness. Everything was seasoned to perfection. I'm typically someone who adds a lot of salt or pepper to any dish, as I love full flavor meals, and this dish required nothing more. It was absolutely outstanding. Outside of the 5 star flavor, there was 5 star presentation. Each plate was carefully crafted and presented beautifully. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the food tasted even better than it looked. For dessert we got ordered the lemon raspberry cake with a coconut crust and it was light, fluffy, refreshing and paired perfectly with the hot coffee we were served, which was also fantastic. Adding a cherry to the top of our evening, Joel, the owner, came out to greet us and ask us how we enjoyed our meal. We couldn't rave enough. He was so kind, polite, passionate about the restaurant and extremely knowledgeable, even entertaining our questions about the history of the building. He even offered a tour of the rest of the restaurant, which Mike, our server, guided us on. The building was built in the late 1800s and still maintained much of its character, with its unique ceiling, partial brick walls and wood floors, making for an effortlessly moody, peaceful and romantic ambiance. The lighting is soft and warm and the climate inside was comfortable and pleasant, neither too hot or too cold. The walls were covered in tasteful decor that matched the historical character of the restaurant and the floor to ceiling windows out front gave us a front row seat to sunset that glowed off the brick buildings just outside the entrance. All in all, it was one of the best date nights we've ever had. From the 5 star food and service, to the gorgeous decor and historical setting, if you're looking for a knock your socks off meal in a unique and timeless setting, look no further than 317 @ Montgomery. We are counting the minutes until we can go back again.

Caesar Salad- very good!

We went here for Downtown Dining Week. The food was good but the portions were really small (assuming it's because of the dining week). We wanted more and weren't full after all 3 courses. Everything was tasty though. Service and ambiance was nice as well.

Bork Belly Bao appetizer

Food and atmosphere were excellent, as was the service. Drinks never ran dry before being asked if we wanted a refill. Staff bent over backward to make sure our needs were met. Really eclectic menu which I really appreciated. If you are a Carmel fan the Carmel lava cake is a must!! The cake was very light. I was expecting something more dense and was very pleased with the result!! Chicken Bimbimbop was excellent! If you are adverse to eggs being a bit under done (I am not) make sure to ask them to cook the egg well. Flavors were just amazing! I had not had good Korean food in forever! I will definitely be going back as there were so many other things on the menu that I wanted to try! Great date spot!

People need to start eating here! We went on a Tuesday and the restaurant was practically empty. Because of this we had a wonderful window seat for two. The restaurant has a nice ambiance with clean white tablecloths with visible brick walls and wood trim everywhere. There was enough vegetarian options to keep my wife happy, she had a flatbread and the stuffed poblano peppers. Both items were delicious. I enjoyed the pork belly bao buns and the burger. Everything was cooked well and tasted very nice. They only have wine and beer if you are looking for a drink, but had a nice selection of both. I think this is a great place that deserves a better following. Though I'll enjoy the intimate atmosphere until that happens.

Filet with green beans and the potato side that comes with it.

First sign of potential concern was that it was a Friday at 5:30pm in downtown Syracuse and we were the only ones there with the exception of 2 people at the bar for drinks. I was hoping it was because it was a pretty cold day. Now I don't know if that's the case. Based on reviews and the menu, we decided to try a new spot. I am trying to hard to support local small places and hoping in the process to find my next new favorite go-to restaurant. This has proved pretty futile. I admittedly have high standards with food and the service but don't think that's too much to ask, depending on where you are. So we're seated in a small front room in the window and it was cold. They obviously know that temp is an issue in here as they had 2 space heaters there. The view was nice but it was cold. In hindsight, I think they wanted to give the appearance of having people in there to any passerby. If you read my other reviews, I'm consistent. I drink water and a lot of it and one of my biggest issues is when I'm sitting there thirsty and the waitstaff doesn't keep my water full (especially with as salty as this food was but we'll get there). So being the only table, you'd think our waitress would have been on top of keeping our glasses full. Nope! You start with some bread - it was some kind of cranberry focaccia maybe? The butter came in the little mini plastic packets with the foil lid you peel back. Not like the butter I saw in some prior reviews that they whipped up there and put in a small ramekin. For Apps: Hubby had the brie - it was warmed in a small skillet and had something that we couldn't place on top of it - it looked like soft candied fruit. It came with small toast pieces to eat. The portion was huge and the taste was pretty good. I had the gold and red beet bruschetta - it came on the same toasts that I felt had the appearance of just being pre-packaged toasts. It was okay but not for the $12 that it was. We both had the filet - it's a 6oz filet and came with green beans -maybe 10 or so and a potato side that was similar to au gratin or scalloped but had different cheeses, including either gorgonzola or blue. The filet was heavily salted. I ended up leaving at least an ounce of steak on the plate as it was fatty and had the tough tendon type of white stuff streaked through. My husband's steak was not as bad with the fat/tendons. You could tell when mine came it out that it may be like that as the top was separating - it almost looked like someone cut little slits in the top. Overall, the total was approx $90-100 as my husband had one glass of red wine. I personally wouldn't return here - it was too salty (I was so parched the next morning) and combine that with the lack of keeping my water full when the restaurant was empty, would concern me that when it's busy, you'd be really parched.

Chicken bibimbap

I was excited to try their chicken bibimbap bowl. The pictures of it looked delicious. I believe I was one of the first people in for lunch when they opened and it came out pretty quickly. However I was very surprised and disappointed at the state of the food that I received. I paid 20 bucks for the half chicken bibimbap and it was not giving worth 20 dollars... The rice was undercooked but greasy to the point that it was leaking through the container and into the bag. And the chicken thighs just looked grey and unseasoned. Couldn't even get through a couple bites. Super expensive for what they're putting out. The only good about this meal were the bean sprouts and shaved carrots they gave as toppings. It was the only thing I could eat!

Bottom: Copy of Mushroom, Garlic and Truffle Flatbread 10/10 Top: Duck Confit Poutine 10/10 - both were FILLING!
Cassie C.

My husband & I came to celebrate our new marriage and we were beyond pleased with the food and service here. We had their three course dinner and each course was filling, flavorful, and great quality. I definitely recommend trying their duck confit poutine (appetizer) and their cioppino (entree). We had told them prior that we would be coming to celebrate our marriage, and when we got there, there was fresh flowers at our table, a congratulations sign, and the owner came over to wish us well. Everyone was very friendly & we will most definitely be returning!

I very much enjoyed the ceviche and it was a large portion. My partner seemed to like the potatoes. I had the whole fish special. An interesting experience to say the least.

My partner had a vegetarian entree, something with mushrooms. She enjoyed it. We had a total of 3 mocktails as well. Bill was almost 200 dollars. Steep for no booze and one person ordering all vegetarian. Take that into consideration when planning a night out as th drink menu looked great so you're destined to go above that if you booze. The tables were very close to each other and the dining room was loud. Not romantic in my opinion. Food was pretty good, rest of the stuff could use a little work.

Unfortunately, based on our visit, I do not anticipate returning. While I do have several culinary critiques--such as paying for the luxury wine pairing only to receive a bold Burgundy alongside Linguine and Clams, or seeing "Caviar" listed on the menu and discovering it was actually Bowfin roe--these are ultimately matters of taste and expectation. Likewise, the eclectic menu progression, shifting from Korean/Asian-inspired starters to Eastern European notes and then unexpectedly into Italian influences, was unusual but clearly stated ahead of time. SEE UPDATED REVIEW FOLLOWING THIS SECTION SPECIFICALLY RELATING TO "SERVICE FEE". What was not clearly stated--and what I believe crosses into dishonest practice--was the service fee. The menu advertised on Instagram included fine print noting a 3% service fee. That seemed reasonable. However, the check we received instead included a 22% service fee, which is a significant and unexplained deviation. This is not a simple oversight. The terms presented online at the time of reservation did not match the terms presented at the restaurant. (UPDATED REVIEW: Following my review, one of the owners of Noble Cellar reached out to discuss my experience. We had an in‑depth, thoughtful conversation about the complexities of New York State restaurant laws, particularly those governing how front‑of‑house staff may be tipped and how back‑of‑house employees may be compensated. While we were in agreement that the language surrounding the service fee was confusing, our discussion gave me a clearer understanding of the intent. I now feel far less certain that the discrepancy was malicious or deliberately deceptive. That said, it should have been made much clearer to diners that the service fee included what is traditionally understood as gratuity. Transparency in this area is crucial for maintaining guest trust, and clearer communication would have prevented the confusion I--and likely others--experienced. I want to commend the owner for reaching out directly and taking the time to address each of my concerns. His willingness to engage, listen, and provide context demonstrated genuine integrity. We also discussed my other critiques in depth, and it was evident that he was sincerely interested in my perspective and committed to further elevating the experience they aim to provide. I was invited back to experience a standard service, and I appreciate the opportunity. I look forward to giving Noble Cellar another chance and hope to update this review again following a future visit.) Our total bill was $599, including a $100 "service fee." I still chose to leave a $100 tip, as our server was attentive and should not be held responsible for management's decisions. In the end, we spent $700 for two people--paired with the added disappointment of feeling misled. I have photo documentation of both menus, and the discrepancy is unmistakable. I will be reaching out directly to ownership and management regarding this issue. Until then, I feel compelled to leave a 1-star review, as this level of inconsistency and lack of transparency is unacceptable. Without the inflated and undisclosed fee, my rating would have been closer to 3 stars, based on the food and overall experience.

Another outstanding meal at my favorite syracuse restaurant…read more Enjoyed some time this Friday with special people as we sat and enjoyed an exquisite dining out. 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.

We were promptly seated and ordered glasses of wine while perusing the menu, which is on the smaller side. That usually means everything on it is rather good, so we had high expectations. We started with the Mushroom Toast, Ember Roasted Carrots, and Beef Tartar. I'll start with the bad and finish with the good. The Ember Roasted Carrots were a complete miss. They were trying to go for a middle-eastern flavor, with each ingredient contrasting, while the carrot served as the centerpiece to flavor. I found this to be INCREDIBLY bland. The carrots were not salted enough during roasting and lacked enough char. They dish also needed more labneh than it was served with. It literally just tasted like carrots and yoghurt. Honestly, if I could only give one critique it would be to have used more salt, but this dish was a real disappointment. The Beef Tartar suffered from a similar issue. It was bland. Not enough salt was used. It unfortunately tastes like flat beef. I overheard the bartender talking to another couple and he told them they really want to highlight the ingredients. The idea is purity or something like that. And that's well and good, but you still need to season beef tartar. I don't think this is necessarily a poor execution of the dish(es) rather this is more in line with the philosophy of the kitchen, and that's fine. It's just not for me. And now for the good. The Mushroom Toast was great. It had all the things I had wanted. Fat, salt, umami, freshness. This was a good dish and I would get this again. As for the entrees, my husband and I ordered the Cappelletti and the NY Strip. The Cappelleti was the strongest dish of the night. The flavors were layered and intentional. This was a great dish and I1000% would get it again. My husband ordered the NY Strip along with bone marrow. It was cooked to perfection. Cooking it over a wood fire gave it a great char and almost Smokey flavor. It was very flavorful. The chimichurri made the steak feel lighter than it actually was. My husband loved it and I loved having a bite or two of everything together. This was a complete dish and I'd highly recommend it. The only knock I could give it is the bone marrow. There was a lack of volume in it which is probably due to being cooked over a wood fire. Parts of the bones were also over roasted. I'd skip this the next time and get the foie gras pate. Lastly, for desert we were disappointed that we could not try the rice pudding as they were out of it (we will try it the next time if available). We did however order the Flourless Chocolate Torte to share. It was made perfectly. It was rich and decadent but remained light. It was almost like a mousse, but not quite. We loved it. Overall, the had a great time. There were several highlights and I think they make up for the a couple of the earlier dishes. I'd like to see what else they have to offer when they change their menu.

It's not uncommon for a new restaurant to impress the first time, only to fall short on subsequent visits. Touché, however, proves to be a welcome exception. Their continued commitment to quality, creativity, and classic French influences remains evident in every aspect of the dining experience. Several days before our reservation, I received a courteous text from the charming and attentive hostess, Bridgette, requesting details about the members of my dining party, including names and dietary restrictions. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by name and seated at a table adorned with a personalized name card--an unnecessary but thoughtful and memorable gesture that set the tone for the evening. I selected the very reasonably priced three‑course prix fixe menu ($70), while the rest of my party opted for the Steak Frites. My starter, a colossal scallop, was beautifully seasoned and perfectly cooked. While the nettle purée could have used a touch more vibrancy, it still complemented the bright yuzu dressing well. The main course--a perfectly cooked half duck breast accompanied by roasted celeriac purée and a currant‑cassis jus--was a standout. The deep berry notes paired beautifully with the richly rendered duck fat. Although I typically gravitate toward savory dishes, the dessert was an impressive finale: a Sablé Breton with blood orange cream, thyme Chantilly, thyme jam, and a rocher of coffee ice cream. The combination of sweet, salty, and herbaceous elements was wonderfully balanced and thoroughly enjoyable. I was fortunate enough to try a few bites of the Steak Frites, which did not disappoint--nor did it for the other members of my party. Our meals were complemented by excellent cocktails from the well‑stocked bar. The bartender was knowledgeable, skilled, and engaging. The open‑concept kitchen is also a delight to observe, and I look forward to reserving a seat at the chef's table on my next visit. One of the ongoing challenges in the Syracuse dining scene, in my opinion, is a general lack of restraint. Touché distinguishes itself with its thoughtful menu design, technical precision, and appropriate portion sizes. We left feeling thoroughly attended to and perfectly satiated. I sincerely hope Touché continues its pursuit of excellence both in the kitchen and in the dining room. Syracuse needs restaurants of this caliber, and I eagerly anticipate their spring and summer menus.

I'm not sure if customers are able to walk the vineyards because it was raining when we got there. We stopped in for wine tastings - $20 for the preset menus and $25 for selecting your own wines. The tasting includes 4 wines and I thought the pours were generous. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza with hot honey to share and it was delicious. The service at the vineyard is a little strange because we sat in the main room upon entry but were told to go pick up our pizza in a different room. Thankfully they weren't very busy and the sweet lady that poured our wine ended up bringing the pizza over to us. They have 3 or 4 different rooms you can sit in. We chose the main room with both low top and high tops, one room had a fireplace to snuggle up next to in cooler months, and then the outdoor seating where they had live music allowed you to feel the breeze and see some views. The wine was good - our favorite of the day being the Cayuga White so we purchased a bottle to share which is a much better deal than buying by the $12 glass. This is a great place to hangout with friends or go on a date. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon but steady and very enjoyable. We played cards while we sat and drank and it was a wonderful time.

This was a wine dinner pairing held by the Sherwood Inn at Anyela's. The Sherwood Inn will…read moreoccasionally hold these pairing events but at different locations. I love that idea as it allows exposure to a variety of locations. The food was tasty and seasonal incorporating produce from leeks to beets. Also fruits from apples to cranberries. The wine selections were paired well with the food and throughly introduced. Very delicious!

The most incredible (and only) speakeasy in the Finger Lakes…read more After hours of driving, we knew we needed a cool spot to go to at night for some delicious wine. Of course, the Finger Lakes are KNOWN for wine so we're just thinking we're making reservations for a wine bar (with "speakeasy" vibes). Which that would've been totally cool with us. After continuous back and forth, changing our reservations 50 million times, adding and taking people out, we finally made it to Vinifera on a Friday night and were super apologetic since we had to make yet another change. The staff was absolutely incredible and accommodating, they made sure our party of 10 would be in the same room/table. The only "downfall" was that we'd have to share the room with another small party. Which was absolutely not a problem and we ended up being BFF'S with them by the end of the night. We met the owner Jim - the most incredible human - and he took us down to the speakeasy (which passes right through a super secretive door in the back of the main room upstairs). Side note - the main room upstairs is a vibe on it's own btw and we would've been absolutely fine and happy there. It's an actual wine store and you can purchase all kind of local wines. Be sure to ask and get all the recommendations you want. Not only did we get to enjoy an incredible time but we got a super cool VIP experience and learned the story and so much history about this place, the concept, the origin and what sparked the idea of creating it. That itself, was a treat. On to the actual speakeasy experience. When you go downstairs (through that fun super cool super secretive door) - you're instantly transported to another era, another time. It's dark, it's velvety, chandeliers, spiderwebs (the aesthetic kind, idk if there were actually any but it fit the vibe in my head), Leonardo Da Vinci, Mona Lisa, candles, curtains. There are two super cool rooms, one to the right (which is where our large party sat at) and one to the left - totally recommended for smaller groups, it's cozy, it's chill, you can interact and share with other guests too. Just by this, I'm wowed. As if this wasn't enough, the drinks were absolutely incredible. I ended up ordering some kind of a smoked drink and they happily substituted the regular old fashioned for mezcal. What a dream. Everyone was happy with their drink orders, some ordered some off the menu things and they happily made them - even though they technically only serve what's on the menu. Wine flights are also available if you're in the wine vibe. Bottom line: we loved this place SO much, we came back 2 night's later for our last night. We sat in the other room and absolutely loved and enjoyed it. I had a lavender drink and it was delish. This place is a GEM and you should absolutely check it out and support it if you're in the area. If you're not, well now you have a place I know you'll love to go to!

I was going out to dinner before heading to hear friends at Open Mic night. The place I started at…read morehad at least a 45 min wait. So we decided to go somewhere else, but where? As we turned the corner we saw a sign in front of A.T. Walley's for $5 burger and chips or 2 Hoffman Hots with chips. Well, the price was right! The guy was outside on the sidewalk grilling them and it smelled really good. So even though I was in the mood for wings, we decided to give the food here a try. We went in and got a table with no problem. Waitress said that along with the regular Wednesday night specials they also had $4 Beef on Weck for $4. We were really hungry so we ordered 2 Beef on Weck sandwiches and the hot dog special. It was amazing! The beef and au jus was fabulous! They each came with kettle chips and pickles. Yum!!!! And who does not love a Hoffman Hot, right?! Then we saw that they had 11 menu items for just $5 on Thursday nights from 4-10 pm. We had to be downtown again the next night so we went back! I got the grilled chicken Caesar Salad and he got the NYS Fair beef and Lamb Gyro. Once again, full portions for only $5! What a find!! We had always just gone there for drinks and music prior to this. They have a great bar selection and have $3 drinks on Monday nights....including their signature cocktails! It is a great place to go, have a drink, hang out with friends, listen to music on occasion and now I will be stopping in to check out more on their menu as well!

Great whiskey, good cigars and friendly service! This place is great, truly stands out in this…read morecity. After hanging out and enjoying some drinks and cigars, we all agreed that a place like this is strangely classy for its location. A diamond in the rough, don't miss out!
