    Chicken Tacos and Beef Shin Poutine

    We went on a Monday for happy hour with a large group, they were able to quickly seat our group. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was recently updated, it looks great, clean and sharp.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's definitely brighter now which I love.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The happy hour deals are great, and the food was excellent.

    Our food was delicious, loved the Happy Hour specials (omg the oysters!) and everything else we ordered. Espresso martini cocktail was fun and imaginative. Service was top notch, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambience and vibe was really nice, so cozy yet chic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The steak skewers were a tiny bit tough and the meatballs were only ok but that was only negative feedback. Will definitely return.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The York is an upscale dining experience like you might find in Manhattan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is best described as modern American, with a raw bar, dry-aged steaks, trendy starters and entrées and a lengthy cocktail list. The York is at 247 W. Fayette St., the former home of bc Restaurant. Owner Danny Vault bought it from the original owners in November 2015. We were invited to join some friends for a birthday dinner. A reservation had been made for 515 on Saturday and we were sat right away. There is plenty of on street parking and also the Atrium parking garage directly across from The York. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is modernly decorated with a front and back room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered shrimp cocktail, an order of Nashville Bleu chicken wings and shrimp tempura roll as appetizers. Our friends ordered the bacon cheeseburger mac and cheese and filet mignon, while my wife and I ordered the York burger. Our food was brought mostly in a timely manner, but unfortunately, we weren't very impressed. Our $16 shrimp cocktail had only 2 shrimp, my Nashville Hot wings were not Nashville Hot flavor at all - as a matter of fact, they had no heat. While our burger was pretty good, the bacon on it was under cooked and close to raw, and we all felt our other dishes were just okay. Our server was friendly and attentive, although we found it interesting that athleisure seems to be the York uniform. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was good, although the small tables/chairs and being sat in the window where the floor raises and there's wood flooring where our chairs consistenly got stuck in the grooves between panels made it not the most comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, we felt the food was okay at best. It was over $200 for our meal and we didn't feel it was worth that price. I don't believe we would be back.

    Glad we made it in and perfect timing to find seats at the bar. Otherwise make a reservation because even on a Tuesday evening, we were faced with a two hour wait. Our bartender/server was very sweet and helpful. She was attentive and took great care of us and keeping our drinks filled. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar was beautiful and actually inspired us to think about building something like that for our home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Timing for the food was good and everything came out hot and delicious. Hubbys York burger was cooked to his liking and the fries had nice seasonings on them. My pasta was creamy, delicious and had a wonderful amount of mushrooms in it. The asparagus pieces were so tender and the flavor was killer. The two pieces of crispy bread was perfect for scrapping up the sauce and eating at the end. Don't miss this spot!

    Stopped here for a Friday night dinner after working while in town. We had a table of 5 and made reservations for 8:30. Downtown area - parking garage across the street, which with our stay ended up being $8 to park. Other than that, it's parallel parking which were all slammed up when we came thru. We had to wait a few minutes for our table to be prepared but sat quickly and put in our drink order. Dark decor and bright lights, large bar area, and some decent volume inside. I can see where this could be a well-traveled place for young professionals/college students to come on weekends and throw down. We ordered several starters - I and my soup: loaded baked potato. This was good - potato were pretty much flash cooked - edges were still sharp on the potato pieces. Flavor was good. I also ordered the meatballs for an additional starter for the table. These were very good: tangy sauce and two pieces of bread for scooping or making a meatball sand. Well done. A couple of the boys got poutine which I had a taste of - slim on the gravy but the flavor was good. As my entree I got the steak medium, and added mashed potatoes (bc the soup wasn't enough starch) and brussel sprouts. The sprouts were a little on the soggy side, but very good and the steak was prepared accurately. For dessert my bud Weese Hoitmin and I swapped desserts after the waitress didn't explain the bananas foster pie properly - so after it came out I went with that, the bananas were not done properly - very soggy and not sauced right. The most glaring issue was the Diet Coke - flavor was awful even after multiple tries. Overall - a great meal.

    Late review! We had our first anniversary dinner in September, where I was getting sick & had little taste, yet flavors came through. Had to get the happy hour's aesthetic crab Rangoon, which were pretty typical but tasty, & oysters, which helped to clear the sinuses for dinner we shared the short rib ravioli & NY strip steak. From what I could taste, the ravioli was excellent and filling and the steak was again, a typical steak but the Spinach and horseradish were winners for me, and not just for clearing my taste buds! We've also gone to dance other times, but we are gettin old so we didn't spend too much time. The drinks we ordered were good, strong but we felt classy, especially the classic espresso martini. I'd love to come back a seafood tower and other pastas!

    It was my friend's birthday and we decided to give it a chance, it exceeded our expectations! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is beautiful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], drinks and food were delicious...I would say it was one of the best burgers I've had! To make things even better, our super amazing server surprised my friend during dessert.

    Food was amazing, specially the steak (filet mignon). Service was a little slow, but friendly. Wedge salad was delicious. Meatballs were too salted.

    The steak was not good (New York strip), not seasoned enough and very tough. The York burger was DELICIOUS!!!! Would get again! Service was good...server didn't go above & beyond. Barely smiled, but not unkind. Just not super friendly. Ambiance was AMAZING! It is worth coming back, just won't order a steak.

    We came for our anniversary, and each got multiple cocktails from their featured tequila menu. The bone marrow appetizer was so unique and delicious! We treated ourselves to dessert and the waiter surprised us by serving it with a huge sparkler for the occasion. We felt that service and time between courses was a bit slow, and the hostess was not pleasant at all. Overall a cool spot for an elevated night out but don't expect too warm of a welcome

    GREAT ASS MULE. 15/10 ESPRESSO DRINK. the tequila one was good too but kinda tastes like cough syrup. Would come again, I missed my bffs and we had so much fun. Feeling: joyous!!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Vibes are so good. Bring ur besties here to yap the night away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Didn't have the chance to try the food- but drinks made us feeling happy! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fancy club scene, most likely to pick up a millionaire here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Calabrian Rigate ($23) enough food for 4!
    Amanda J.

    Came to Syracuse and sadly did not make a reservation! We arrived around 7:15 and were told there was no more table availability for the night, but we could order at the bar. The York had ample plush couch seating, perfect for cocktail sipping. We squeezed in at the bar and had ordered a few items off the menu, assuming this would be a small plates style venue. It was anything but. The cast iron meatballs were about a quarter pound each. They were delicious and served in a light red marinara sauce with spoonfuls of ricotta. This came out with the artichoke flatbread. This was very rich and heavy. I'd recommend always sharing this. The Calabrian rigate ($23) was the best item and spicy, but enough to share between 4 people. If you come here, get this. You won't regret it. Drinks were balanced and well presented. We really enjoyed the atmosphere.

    Calabrian Rigate
    Tommy C.

    One of the best spots in Syracuse. A great upscale feel for the place. Service is great, drinks are fantastic. Had a great espresso martini. The Calabrian pasta was spicy and hot, big portion too. The happy hour oysters were great $1 each. The crispy rice tuna appetizer was probably the best thing.

    I flew into Syracuse for work meetings and when flying out very early in the morning, I didn't know…read morewhere I was going to wait for my flight, while grabbing a quick bite and drink, so when walking through the terminal I came across this Escape Lounge. I normally scope out my options, especially when visiting new airports, but this being such a small airport, I didn't do this ahead of time, as I didn't think they would have any lounges. I got to the door at 4:28AM and saw the sign that they opened at 4:30AM. I was the only one there waiting for them to open and I was the first in when they did open - But immediately after that, there were many more checking in. Fortunately, I got first dibs on their scrambled eggs and other items for breakfast. The food selection was decent, not a lot, but decent. Service was great! The lady working check-in was also working the dining room/lounge and cleaning tables. I asked her about this and she said her co-worker called in (not sure if that meant they called they would be late or not coming in)... Sounds like a very unreliable, selfish, and typical millennial employee is her co-worker who would leave this lady to work alone. What if this lady "called in" too - then the club wouldn't open at all. Anyway, they need to get rid of her co-worker and get a more reliable person to help this lady. I watched her hustle between checking people in, then grabbing a tray to clear people's plates, etc... She was constantly moving. I felt bad for all the work she had to do, on her own. Anyway - It's a nice club. When coming through SYR in the future, I'd definitely return.

    Umm this place was really nice place to stay at I don't know how to contact the manager for the job…read moreapplication I filled out but Abagail was really nice give her a raise se deserved it she gave me a really nice pen and I gave her a Lego fig really cool person but I'm other than that I hope I got the job

It is not this way at other bars as the entertainment is an afterthought for people to listen to as they socialize and drink spending money.

How doe one "SOCIALIZE" with people and "LOUNGE" around doing so as in your own descriptions on your website and Social Media?
