The Suave Sultan The food was absolutely lovely and our waiter was super nice. The vibe of the restaurant is very nice; kind of a chic industrial affair. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so if the weather is nice, I’d recommend sitting outside. It’s right by Hannover square which is very cute and is one of my favorite places in Syracuse. So if you’re having a day on the town, I’d highly recommend coming here.

Mary Beth East Phoebe’s did a fantastic job for our daughter’s baby shower. The atmosphere was perfect and the food was absolutely delicious and served hot. The staff was extremely accommodating and so friendly.. The event planners were so helpful and reassuring through the whole planning process. I highly recommend this venue for a small event!

Anthony Catalfamo I was here for a convention We overloaded the staff on a Saturday at 1130- they had no idea we were all coming 2 front staff only Those girls worked their asses off!! Food was amazing!!! Drinks were perfect!! Definitely coming back!!! 11/15/25

Ahmed Al-Akki We went to this restaurant for late lunch. Our waitress Hong T was very professional and courteous. She did a great job serving us. We enjoyed our experience here very much. We also took some cheesecake slices back home. My favorite is Key Lime Cheesecake. This restaurant is a little bit pricey, but food portions are huge.

Adrianne Ramirez I heard a lot about this place so I had to come check it out. I was told a 25 min wait upon arriving but I luckily I was seated within 5 minutes. I went for lunch which is a more fast, casual style. It’s a super easy ordering system - you just scan a QR code, order, and pay right on your phone. Service was great, and staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Food was amazing, portions are a good size (plenty for leftovers). I got the daily lunch special which was an amazing value. Although I would probably skip the tossed salad and order another salad option. The spicy hot tomato oil appetizer is a must if you go! They also sell them in tubs to go, and across the street at their bakery.

Marquis Smith This was a great little breakfast. We were passing through a stopped for the pulled pork bbq waffle. It was indeed savory and flavorful. The scrambled eggs were not good. Blueberry pancakes were alright too. The vibe there was nice with some 70s/80s soul and funk music playing. The staff were kind and reasonable. I would come back again. Nutella latte was very good.

enya 2600 Excellent location in downtown Syracuse around the corner from the MOST. Food is absolutely delicious!!!! Indoor and outdoor seating (weather permitting of course). Drinks are strong, and large! Birria tacos are to dieeeee for, butthe guacamoleis even better!!! If you have theater plans, you may want to tell waitstaff before you order as food can take a while to come out from the kitchen.

Roger Saddler I travel across the US installing and set up equipment. This is one of the best places to eat in the country period. The service was great , the steak was awesome, and the inside was very well done. Great place 100%. You need to go here at least once in your life. Second trip 2 months later wow it was good

charles stockmeister Dinner was on point, stopped in for a bite after a day of running around. Waitress was awesome and super friendly. I miss having a location in rochester but this makes it all that special to stop in when i make a run into syracuse

Michael LaBarbera Was there prior to a show at the landmark with our group and had a wonderful experience! Staff was energetic and fun, the restaurant is lovely inside, cozy and clean atmosphere. The food and drinks were delicious all around and I was very impressed with portion size to price. The Reuben fritters and wings were the stars of our lunch show. Highly recommend going if you havent and continue going if youve already been. Maybe Ill see you there, Enjoy!!

Mario Alex Gonzalez Absolutely delicious and authentic Italian food in Syracuse. Highly recommend the lobster ravioli, the vodka sauve is insane. The steak sirloin dish was also very good. Calamari was perfect too so overall impressed me at every turn.

Molly Pearlman As a meat and cheese lover (trying to eat less of both), I’m so glad I tried this place- it’s delicious! I also felt more full after just half my meal, which usually doesn’t happen. Will definitely be back!! I got the sassy chicken sandwich with truffle fries and it was all so good!!!
