Truffle fries, brussel sprouts, pesto burrata, pappardelle bolognese
Kate F.

My first time at The Wedge was amazing all around! My friends and I came on a Wednesday night and the servers were all super kind, knowledgeable, and patient as we arrived late to our reservation. They were also so kind to give me a complimentary glass of prosecco to celebrate my birthday. Wednesdays are $2 off all cider and wines so my friends enjoyed that deal as well. The Wedge changes their menu on a weekly basis so I was excited to see what was on this weeks menu so naturally we had to get multiple dishes to share in order to try as much as possible. We ordered two pasta dishes, truffle fries for the table, and brussel sprouts to share family style and we didn't leave a crumb behind! All the dishes were more unique than a typical pasta dish you may find elsewhere which was extra fun and soo delicious! The brussels were so soft and topped with so much flavor. I would love to come again to try their brunch menu and continue coming throughout the year to try many new items as their menu rotates. I really wanted to try their mac and cheese so I am determined to come back at the right time for that one!

Delicious steak and thee best garlic mashed potatoes

I'm a bit late to trying out The Wedge and I regret not going sooner. Went for their Pre-fix Valentines Day menu. Everything we got was delightful. Cocktails were imaginative with a wide variety. Personally tried to Ceasar Salad Martini for something different and the Berry the Hatchett for my favorite kinda of of cocktail. Spicy! Loved both. Ceasar Salad Martini truly tasted like a light ceasar salad. All the food was fantastic, shrimp bisque, poached pear salad, steak with fabulous mashed potatoes, and one of the best lava cakes I've ever had and a shockingly good combo of Basque cheesecake and blood orange. And not to mention their cheese platter to start the night! Staff was friendly. Inside is cute and cozy, feels like an upscale Cafe with adorable artwork. Great place for a special occasion or just a catch up date night. Cannot wait to go back.

Dessert: Rich chocolate and so good!

Tried The Wedge for brunch and had to return for dinner...it did not disappoint! Such a nice ambiance and they have a fun cocktail menu with a great selection of old-fashioneds. We also tried "Have You Bean to Rio?" and the Sangria of the Moment, which was white with cranberry and bubbles and so good. For dinner we shared the crispy Brussel sprouts and the fall stuffed Delicata squash. The flavors of the sweet squash with grains and feta cheese were amazing. We also tried the house made pasta, mushroom farfalle, which was filling and delicious. We ended the meal with two desserts, a chocolate crème brûlée with a cookie topping, so rich and good to share , along with a fluffy white cake with delicious filling. Can't wait to comeback and try the latest menu!

The Wedge is Sarah Simiele's second cheese-centric business, as you might know her from The Curd Nerd, the small gourmet cheese shop next door. After winning the top cheese competition in the country and turning her shop into a destination for cheese lovers, Simiele decided to expand her business by adding a sit-down, cheese-focused restaurant in April of 2025. Simiele put out a call for thrifted items to decorate the restaurant, and customers showed up with everything from silverware to tables and chairs - the mirror came out of someones bedroom, the U-shaped bar was salvaged from a neighbors basement. The walls are lined with dairy and cheese themed artwork and the bathrooms are labeled Olives and Pickles. I recently visited the Wedge with my wife and some friends and we were all very excited to give it a try, cause who doesn't love the idea of a cheese-centric restaurant? We made reservations for 7PM on a Saturday. Easy on street parking, we were sat immediately and given our menus. The Wedge changes their menu seasonally, and the first thing that stood out to me was that they had mocktails on their menu. As someone who doesn't drink I always appreciate a restaurant that serves mocktails. I ordered a mocktail I can't quite remember the name of, but it was plum flavored and very tasty. The rest of my party all ordered cocktails and were also happy with their drinks. We then all ordered our dishes and unfortunately this is where it fell flat for us. We ordered one of the mac & cheese of the day for the table to share - the servers description sounded delicious. I ordered their risotto, my wife ordered a red sauce pasta dish, and our friends ordered a seafood pasta and a duck dish, respectively. Our food was cooked quickly, but we were all a little disappointed with it. The one thing that we all said, for every dish, from the mac and cheese for the table to our individual mains - not enough cheese. It just kinda blew our minds that we were at a cheese-focused restaurant and not one dish had enough cheese flavor. The pasta that was used in both the mac and cheese and my wife's dish were different, but we really liked them, and my friend who ordered the duck said his was cooked perfectly. We both ordered a desert to go, and my wife and I loved ours - a pumpkin spice latte cake, pumpkin spiced caked with coffee flavored cream in between the layers. Our server was great, the restaurant was clean and we enjoyed the thrifted aspect of the aesthetic. Dishes were a little on the pricier side, but we knew and expected that going in. Over all, nothing was terrible, and there were some enjoyable aspects of the food, but it just didn't have that big flavor that we were expecting from them.

Date night - LOVE the cheese inspired/paired drinks. The mozz stick was $18, but honestly entirely worth it as it was "legit" mozzarella, and we were obsessed with the marinara. The mac & cheese was a little lackluster but still tasty.

A unique neighborhood restaurant with eclectic, modern menu. Great cocktails and cheese inspired food. Small and large plates with vegetarian offerings. The setting is finand food well thought out.

A new, amazing brunch spot in Cuse! I love that it's laid back, casual vibes, but not a diner. It's also not super loud, which can be under-appreciated. They do serve cocktails and have somewhat of an unlimited mimosa option. I wish the espresso martini was made with espresso vs cold brew, that would be the one pitfall of our visit. They rotate the menu weekly, so there are always new options. Don't come with your sights set on one dish! The deviled eggs were delicious. They made a Greek flavor that was perfect. We split the savory crepe and huevos rancheros. Both were fresh, rich, and so good. We had enough to take some home for leftovers. We wanted to try dessert, but couldn't make room for it. Our server was very kind and attentive. Overall, would definitely come back again!

Golden Hour cocktail
Pam Y.

I finally got a chance to eat at The Wedge on 5/22. It's a new place on James St, a cheese-centric restaurant opened in tandem with The Curd Nerd. I started with a Golden Hour cocktail. It's not sweet, perfect for me! My entree was Caramelle. It's a nice blend of gorganzolla stuffed pasta with sautéed shallots and spinach, with a beautiful green sauce. The flavors were wonderful. The shallots were large sautéed rings that competed with the pasta. I would have preferred they be caramelized or diced to complement the texture of the pasta. I ate at the bar and enjoyed visiting with the bar tender and my neighbors to the side. Service was friendly and food came out pretty quickly. This is a farm to table place, so everything is fresh, and the menu changes frequently!

From the early July 2025 menu- corn bisque soup.

The Wedge is a cheese focused restaurant. Similar to some other greats in the area they keep the same menu structure from week to week but will vary the dish. There will be a cheese plate, a wedge salad, a chicken of some kind, mac n' cheese, etc, but what goes into it will change. My favorite thing has been the pastry option from the Starters portion. The gallette and phyllo pie I have had have been incredible - a soft cheese overflowing out from the pastry, combined with cooked fruit flavors. It's flakey, sweet, and just savory enough. The greens I've had have been good, and the soup I had recently had me savoring every bite. The pasta is....well just get it. They specifically have a pasta night on Wednesdays if you want to super cheese-carb it out. I'm not much of a Mac n cheese person so I admit I was meh on theirs but I am the oddball who prefers the violently orange boxed stuff. Like the rest of the menu the beverage menu changes regularly. It will be creative and seasonal, and the bartenders will even make custom drinks based on a prompt you give them. If you're a hard cider nerd this place is for you- they have some super interesting more-than-just-sweet options that can give wines a run for their money. Service is good. If you nab one of the limited bar seats the bartenders are particularly fun to watch to see what they're concocting. I thought the noise level was fine and conversational even on a busy Saturday night. The interior design is a collection - tables, chairs, and tableware literally collected from the Eastwood community the restaurant resides in. It is a smaller restaurant so reservations are strongly recommended. The bathroom I used was large, had a fun olive and cheese mural, and seemed like it may be good for those who use mobility devices. Parking - for cars it's street parking. Mind the signs though! On the side streets it's alternate side. There are bike racks down the block at Kinney Drugs for visiting bike riders. The restaurant is on a regular bus line.

Love that Small Business Saturday allowed me to visit the wedge! The Raclette plate was flavorful and cocktails delicious! Can't wait to come back for brunch!!

The decor at The Wedge is eclectic and homey, making a unique and inviting setting for dinner. Eating off of mismatched plates and different styles of seating felt like having dinner at a family home! You can tell this place was put together with a lot of pride and a lot of love! So much personality. We ordered the goat cheese galette for an appetizer, and the waitress let us know it would be a little bit of a wait (10-15min). It was SO worth it, absolutely delicious, and freshly baked. This was my favorite dish of the night. We got gnocchi and chicken entrees, plus drinks and dessert. Every dish was well composed and all the staff were very friendly! Great selection of cocktail specials, beer and wine, and NA or low alcohol options too

Pimento cheese dip
Erin o.

The vibe of this place is great. From the bathroom artwork down to the fun mismatched plates. Have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance last night. The drinks were a little wild with cacio e Pepe and mushroom gin but the white sangria was amazing. We got the pimento cheese dip, fries, grilled cheese, Brussels sprouts, and Mac and cheese all to share. The pimento cheese was definitely the winner with the fries a close second. The Mac and cheese was slightly underwhelming with the noodles being kind of soggy and the cheese not having much flavor. The grilled cheese was good but with the mushrooms were enough I don't think it needed the onions too. I would definitely give this place another try especially since they rotate the menu often.

This was opened by the owner of the Curd Nerd and is right next door to it. They have a huge drink menu and I learned that they have a new creative $10 cocktail every day. The food menu rotates frequently. We ordered the deviled egg appetizer which was delicious!! The server told me that they switch the flavors in that app frequently as well. Due to some poor scheduling on my part, I was on a huge time crunch and needed to leave much earlier than my family. I told our server this, and she was still able to get me poached eggs and sausage super quickly so I could eat before I had to leave. I really appreciate how accommodating they were. They made brunch possible for me in my tight schedule and I am very thankful. I will definitely come back here for a proper meal. Would highly suggest this place for brunch or dinner!

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!

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.

There's nothing worse than going to a favorite spot and finding a long wait when you have tickets to be somewhere. I made reservations for 5:45 and was promptly seated by a lovely hostess. Laci's is such a cozy place with no overwhelming music to interfere with conversation. Our server Katie arrived to introduce herself and gave us a few minutes to look over the drink menu. Katie was friendly and helpful, explaining some of the dishes on the menu. Tapas menus are always fun to read and allow you to taste a variety of different things. Food comes out, one dish at a time which gives time to share and not rush along. We ordered a cold salad and a winter salad, a flatbread, shrimp and cheesy grits as well as sliders. Everything is fresh and made to order and served at the proper temperature. I also tried a cocktail that I loved, a Sparkling Ruby (vodka, Prosecco, and pomegranate).

She told us about specials and about ordering tapas. I ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. It was a fantastic pour and the light fruitiness of the wine was perfect for the big flavors of the food we were about to explore. Bacon Wrapped Jalepenos. Sometimes I can't handle spice but I'm so glad we ordered these. They were balanced perfectly with all the ingredients and the poblano sour cream dip so that you could taste the flavors and a little heat but it cooled quickly. These "poppers" were crispy and way better than battered and fried! Grilled Asparagus Aranchini. If you don't like Asparagus, try them anyway. It is not an overpowering flavor in this dish. I usually eat aranchini with a tomato sauce but the Lemon Beurre Blanc it was served with was absolute perfection. Shrimp & Grits. Perfectly cooked shrimp topped the most delicious cheesy Grits. Bacon and Scallions put this dish right over the top. Portobello & Truffle Flatbread. Portobello mushrooms, goat cheese, Truffle oil, and arugula. Flavor Bomb! We had our eye on dessert too but apparently we ordered too much food. We were both so stuffed! Marianne checked in with us several times and kept refilling our waters before they were needed. She was one of the best servers I've had in a long time. It had been many years since I've been to Laci's. I can assure you I will go back much sooner this time.
