About the restaurant

Good food hinges on quality; fresh ingredients that are properly prepared and cooked. Chef Moro searches out only the freshest, finest product and utilizes the surrounding abundance of the Finger Lakes region whenever possible. His passion for simplicity and purity of flavor ensures that each dish will be balanced and impressionable.

However, a great meal is a multi-sensory experience. It should encompass not only the food but the sounds, aromas, service and atmosphere that surround the diner. A great meal is a memorable experience to be savored again and again.

There were six of us for dinner. We were seated quickly and efficiently. Our waitress was attentive and delivered our meals and drinks in a very efficient manner. Every one of us commented on how delicious our meal was. I personally have the small tenderloin and it was one of the best ones I have ever had. Tender, juicy and cooked perfectly to my specifications. Others in our group said the same about their meals. The ambiance is cozy and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

About the restaurant

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.

Nice evening and dinner with a friend to catch up. Jesse was a great server who appreciated our taking our time with ordering and eating. The salmon and steak were delicious and the made on site cheesecake was a generous size and yummy. This has always been a great place for dinner.

Fish and chips were great. Pretzel appetizer was good. French onion soup was very good. Salad was good. Risotto was gummy, not creamy..

The salad bar is always delicious with a large variety of choices including fish chowder and lobster bisque. Then the meat is so good and served continuously and cooked to perfection. The service is very friendly and attentive. Our server, Anna and GM, Rebecca are top notch!

Food was delicious! Try the scallops as an appetizer. It is enough for 2 people. Their special bourbon bbg steak had a sauce that was perfect with the steak and the mashed potatoes. Asparagus was perfectly cooked - not too crunchy and NOT soggy
