The Wedge is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels welcoming and relaxed, with just the right blend of charm. The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive — you can tell they care about making sure you have a great experience. The food is wonderful. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor and clearly made with fresh, quality ingredients. There are great options for everyone — whether you’re in the mood for something hearty or light with wonderful cheese accents throughout!

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.

Great meal, a little noisy and hard to hear our conversation but overall nice dinner and well priced. Great pasta dishes and vegetable sides. Big portions so no room to try desserts.

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

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
