    A gorgeous place on the terrace for a delicious lunch. I love the blackened salmon salad and enjoyed their tiramisu which I hadn’t seen on the menu before. I bit pricey but well worth it as the ambience, the food, etc all work together to create a wonderful experience.

    The service was attentive and friendly with the exception of the waiter appearing to be unfamiliar with the sommelier picks. In a restaurant of this caliber and wine forward his reaction was surprising. Regarding the menu, it is all over the place. They offer focaccia to the table and one Italian entree, the rest is a random mix of offerings. The truffle fries were excellent and the lobster dumplings were good but the blackened salmon on my lackluster salad was tasteless. The burger was average. We had high expectations as we were celebrating my birthday, they did comp a slice of chocolate cake with candle (cute) but would not recommend as our experience did not meet our expectations and we believe there are better options in the area. Over priced and overrated in our opinion.

    SYR is beautiful place. The hostess wasn’t welcoming or nice at all and the food wasn't the greatest. My pasta had no flavor. Drinks were good :)
