Price: Moderate
• Contemporary American • Syracuse
Booked 21 times today
Originally known as Phoebe's Garden Café, the restaurant has a long and colorful history in Syracuse. Local lore claims that the building was originally a brothel, and Phoebe was its madam. In the summer of 2004, Phoebe's experienced a refreshing makeover with a bright new look in the atrium dining room with fresh paint, new upholstery, and artwork. The coffee lounge also opened that year, and it became an instant hit with the surrounding university and business crowd. Those changes also warranted a new name to reflect the updated attitude and ambiance: Phoebe's Restaurant and Coffee Lounge. Classic elements of Phoebe's remain untouched—the French onion soup and enticing crème brulee, for example, but other menu items change seasonally. The Lounge also has its own seating area and free wireless internet capabilities. Phoebe's old world charm is right at home in a revitalized area of the city.

    When my friend and I got to the restaurant we noticed that the restaurant only had a few occupied tables and marveled at the beautiful Christmas decor on the left side of the restaurant. However, were disappointed when the hostess proceeded to seat us in the darker side which had no lights on except for the table the hostess had sat us at. Trying to make the best of it and not complain, I took it upon myself to walk throughout the dark room and turn on all the table lights since the only lighting was from our small table light and the fireplace. Again, we had marveled out loud at how beautifully decorated the restaurant was but then were dismayed to be seated at as the room was extremely dark in a dark room. When our husbands joined us, they also questioned as to why we were seated in the darker and empty dining room. My friend’s husband then proceeded to ask the hostess why we had not been seated in the brighter room. Her dismissive reply was that the other tables had reservations… which caused further dismay because we had also made reservations, over a week in advance and there only seemed to be two or maybe three occupied tables in that “main” dining room. When our assigned waiter arrived, my friend again voiced his disappointment at the table assignment and our waiter was nice enough to go and resolve the issue and we were then seated in the well lit dining area. Our new waitress Misse then took our order and we ordered cocktails and appetizers and our whole night changed. Our server Misse was fantastic. She noticed when something was missing and was quick to replenish bread when she noticed that we had finished the 5 pieces that came with our appetizer and we still had leftover Feta dip. Our Santa Baby cocktails were amazing our entrees did not disappoint. Misse was amazing and turned our night around. We will be back… we hope we get Misse again! Loved everything about our night except for the dismissive hostess.

    I was surprised by the fact that it was a small restaurant with a very small defined menu. However, my surprise turned to extraordinary delight when I ordered a small bite and dinner that were truly outstanding along with the incredible wine pairings. This is one of those hidden gem restaurants that I was lucky to find while traveling on business through Syracuse.

    Excellent place to go before a show. There was a special menu based on the Lion King theme and all items we chose were delicious. Service was friendly and accurate.
