Being right…read moreoutside our building certainly helps, but the real reason we keep coming back is the experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner or a laid-back drink after a long day. The menu is full of delicious food and drink options, and we've yet to be disappointed. If you go, you have to try the burrata. It's our absolute favorite and a must-order every time. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Evergreen is a fantastic choice for amazing service, great food, great drinks, and an easygoing vibe.

It's so nice to go to a bar where they love on vegetarians as much a meat eaters, and it makes it…read moreeasy to find something satisfying to go with your beer here. For drinks they have a good selection of beers on tap, usually 10-20, from local and national breweries. The server offered me a sample before I fully committed on a beer I had a question about and I appreciated being able to try it before committing to a full glass. The Evergreen's menu itself is accessed through a QR code where their full list of options and specials are listed. My group opted to share the beer fries and they were taaaasty, pillowy soft, crunchy, and amazingly well seasoned. 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. Car parking is street parking, it's accessible via the Centro bus system, and there is an artistic broken-chain shaoed bike rack just across the street from the restaurant. My group was happy with the prices and service for an early Wednesday dinner in a wintry March.

Very fun novelty that tbh did not get old. Cartoons on the TV, lots of fun themed drinks, good bites, and classic (and some new) arcade games. If we weren't heading to a concert after, we definitely would've stayed all night. Super friendly bartenders and great service. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

The menu might not be gigantic, but, sometimes too many choices is not a good thing. We sat down for an afternoon cocktail and some of their delicious pizza. They had a new special this month, Fig pizza. We almost went that way. Instead, we built our own. Got us a red sauce, pizza with mushroom and peppers. And as expected, it came out fabulous.

Service was so prompt and nice, and being able to order straight from your phone and pay/being able to walk away easily after was super convenient. I got the Meatball Riggie Turn Down (side) since I wasn't super hungry after traveling, and I definitely recommend this as a lunch portion - the side size was really filling and still pretty big. The meatball was incredible (and large) and the sauce of this pasta, while it had a little heat to it, was well seasoned and smooth. Great chill place with an awesome playlist of oldies music and the opportunity for indoor and outdoor scenic views.

This is a much shorter review than usual for me. We literally have been going to Syracuse for years…read morenow and have never been here because we can never secure a reservation. We had dinner reservations elsewhere but were downtown early and were looking for a drink before dinner. We tried our usuals and the bar at each place was full. Believe it or not, there 2 seats at Pastabilities. The bar was comfortable and the inside was dark and cool. We sat and were greeted by a very jolly bartender who took great care of us. We ordered our usual (Manhattans). They were awesome. He offered us some bread and sauce to go with the drinks and we said sure - outstanding bread and the sauce was awesome. We ordered a salad with burrata and tomatoes which was also excellent. We had a great visit even though it was a short one. Why 4 stars? We are visiting again in October and our bartender helped us secure a dinner reservation. I figured I'd save the five star for that.

"Lakeside" means there is a lake somewhere or a canal, but don't imagine looking out at water and twinkling light. The outdoor porch is roadside; the interior kinda sports bar with goth art vibe. We ordered a pizza--don't make that mistake. The ultra-thin cauliflower was great, but the little blobs of cheese dabbed on top of red sausage with a couple of anemic bits of tomato do not a margarita pizza make. The nachos were tasty-ish, but the cheese had a cheese-whizz vibe, and they grew downright soggy as you hit the bottom layer. Service was good and friendly, but ultimately, it's the food you come for, and the food did not impress.

A Must-Visit in Syracuse!…read more Absolutely loved Salt City Market! I went with a few friends, and we all got something different, which made it such a fun experience. It's a food hall with a variety of stalls offering cuisines from all over the world, so there's truly something for everyone. I went with the Ethiopian food and also picked up a few snacks from the market inside. Beyond the food, I loved the overall atmosphere. There's a community room, plenty of welcoming shared space, and just really great vibes throughout. Even the outdoor area was lovely, especially with the fire pit going on a chilly night! Such a cool, vibrant place to eat, explore different cuisines, and hang out with friends. I would absolutely recommend stopping here if you're in Syracuse!

I read up on the menu and discovered they offered lamb chops which is one of my absolute favourites. A taste of home for me! Friendly and efficient staff welcomed us and showed us to our table. So far so good. Very nice young woman looked after us. My wife ordered the rigatoni and I had the chops. She loved her rigatoni so much she's finishing it off 2 days later and still loving it. Sadly my dish was a bit of a disappointment. My two large chops were extremely fatty. It's the kind you simply can't cut through on a slippery plate. Trying to separate what little meat there was from the fat was impossible so I had to give up and bring it home to a cutting board and an extremely sharp knife. I haven't tried to eat it yet but it looks as fatty as the first. Both had been totally covered by a condiment that I think should have been served in a separate container to allow the diner to regulate the amount desired. The base was a pilf which made trying to cut the chops even more difficult because every time the meat or the knife slipped, the table was showered with grains....all a bit slapstick....! As I previously said, my wife loved her meal and the previous visit was epic so I hate to criticise but I'm just trying to be honest and fair. I think $45 for a couple of very fatty chops with not much meat and smothered in a vinaigrette you might not like is a bit cheeky... In different circumstances I would have sent it back. Oh well, you live and learn...

We stopped here and were seated instantly at a very comfy and roomy booth. Our server was great as well, I don't remember her name but, truly she was on top of it. We ordered some drinks over the course of our meals as they have a plethora of drinks to try! Their flavor notes to describe their drinks were very helpful to figure out what you'd like and our server was very helpful with making sure we got what we wanted! Our food was amazing and the price for everything was relatively fair and I think affordable for two people to get the full experience! I left extremely happy and definitely coming back for another date night! As we wanted to be away from crowds, at the time it wasn't too busy, but I felt like even if it was, it still wouldn't have hindered the experience, and my boyfriend attested to this as well for all those shy folk!

It's bright, open, and inviting with plenty of seating. Secondly, staff are very friendly and helpful! And thirdly, their food is amazing! I'm not vegan but their food is genuinely delicious. We ordered the loaded nachos, chicken parm sandwich, and the sweet sassy molassey sandwich, chocolate mint milkshake and a green tea. The half order of loaded nachos was generous in size and toppings! It was filling without being heavy. All of the ingredients were fresh. Probably one of my top loaded nachos ever. The chicken parm sandwich was also amazing! If I didn't know this was a vegan restaurant, I would not have known that the chicken was not meat. It had the texture of perfectly cooked chicken. The stretch bread was soft, the marinara was warm and perfectly seasoned. 10/10 sandwich. The sweet sassy molassey was also quite good! Very bright, filled with vegetables and deliciously seasoned tofu. Finally, the milkshake! I would have never guessed it was vegan. It was creamy, minty, and chocolatey - like drinking thin mints! I'm determined to squeeze in more visits here before they close!

Extremely welcoming customer service!…read more They offer a free sample of their chicken and rice bowl for first time customers. Mine didn't come out the first time but I wasn't going to bring it up however the worker came by to double check that I got it and reordered it from the kitchen for me. The chicken and rice bowl was one of the best I've had very flavorful. I also got the Philly cheesesteak which satisfied my craving. I think the Philly cheesesteak could've had more meat and I found the plain fries to be lacking salt without the Cajun seasoning but still tasty. It's very hot inside and it seems like their takeout is very active so that's what I would recommend. They have tons of different drinks inside like a gas station and also offer dessert. If you've ever been to the famous TKB Deli in Palm Springs this is a very similar setup in Syracuse. Can't wait to try more things!
