    We had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday Saturday. We made a reservation for 6 for brunch and they easily accommodated 8 of us without hesitation. The few small food issues were immediately resolved without even asking and the manager and bartender were very nice and attentive. The space is gorgeous and they even had the SU game on for the guys. We definitely will be going back.

    We had a plus 1 for our party of 4 reservation--the staff totally rolled with it. Our server Jessie kept our water filled and was the perfect level of attentive and discreet. Food was perfect, drinks were lovely, and the overall vibe was lovely.

    Eden is truly fine dining in a casual comfortable setting. This week I traveled to Philadelphia on Tuesday and Wednesday I like to travel because you can eat in "cut above" restaurants. I came home on Thursday and ate at Eden. I think it is the only restaurant in Syracuse that can hold it's own compared to fine dining in large cities known for their restaurant scene!

    Food offerings were limited in both volume and taste choice. Pit of several alcohol options on their menus. Service was fast and the food rated good.
