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.

    The menu had a nice variety of options. Vegan choices for apps were good. Only one vegan entree and no dessert. Cocktail wine beer menu was pretty extensive. Waitstaff excellent & ambiance pleasing.

    My husband and I enjoyed dinner at Daniella’s to celebrate Valentine’s Day a couple days early. It was quite busy but that did not affect the exceptional service. We were seated immediately and our waiter was very attentive and checked in with us multiple times throughout dinner. The food was amazing and was prepared quickly and exactly to our liking. The owner, Charlie personally checked in with us twice during dinner and was very friendly and personable. Overall, we had a great experience and we were impressed. We will definitely be back!!!

    I went to dinner with my 2 sisters. Light traffic tonight. The meal was cooked to perfection. Our waitress was most attentive. But, the noise level was way too loud- we were seated below a speaker and the sound of the music was turned up quite high. It was very distracting and unnecessary. We found ourselves competing to be heard over the music. We brought this to our waitress’ attention and she said she would ask that it be turned down. It did not seem any different.
