This is our favorite restaurant!
The food is always excellent, as well as the service.

We have dined here 5 times now and have had an amazing meal each time. The food and atmosphere are great. Very knowledgeable staff all around.

The food and service at this restaurant is always superb.

I was not expecting such a relaxing environment, very impressed! Great date night spot, delicious food and great service.

Returning to The Tailor & The Cook as a couple, for a birthday, rather than our earlier hosting of a Christmas family celebration, we found this restaurant even more charming than before, so we have to stick with the highest ratings available. Any of the menu choices would have been a delight but we chose leg of lamb, steak and a few appetizers, all of which was prepared as requested and beyond our expectations. The restaurant was packed as it was a Saturday evening at 7 but we were promptly seated and just as promptly began enjoying small tastings provided until the appetizers came. Even though every table was taken, the sound level was pleasant. The wait staff was attentive, responsive and helpful. Briefly met another couple who had driven over an hour, one way, to eat here and checking with them after dinner was over, they echoed the satisfaction we experienced and that we saw on the faces of anyone we saw there. This is a restaurant we will be returning to, hopefully for years, for any and all special occasions.

Outstanding food.

Excellent food and service as usual. They never let us down when we eat there!

The food was excellent as usual. Everything was perfect. We had a great experience.

Must be the best place for dinner in the city of Utica! The food was delicious and the customer service was perfect!

Excellent choice for fine dining. A little hard to get a reservation for the weekend but certainly worth the early or late times on a weekend. Fresh and interesting and very satisfying options!

Amazing from start to finish .. everything was on point and presentation was a 10

Food, ambiance and service were top notch. This was our first visit. We will definitely come again.

Best I’ve had for dinner in a long time. Took visitors from Nederland and they were very impressed too. Hope to find an occaiosion to go again soon!

Great service and food. My favorite restaurant in Utica

Always superb service, atmosphere, and most importantly—food.

We would recommend The Taylor and the Cook to anyone traveling to the Utica area. Living outside of NYC and dining and many fine restaurants we found our experience to be top notch.
The service was impeccable, our appetizers and entrees were cooked to perfection. The farm to table experience was exquisite, local food and wineries made it even more appealing. The obieonyce was rustic and romantic and we can’t wait to return.

All wait staff were great! The food was excellent! Our second time there...we actually went to Utica specifically to have dinner at The Tailor and the Cook:)

Perfection as usual. Every aspect of the meal was truly a flavor exploration. Can't wait for our next gastro adventure!

Our first time at this really great restaurant in an area getting revitalized. We were visiting upstate NY. This was a great evening in a warm and welcoming space. We had an excellent waiter who was very knowledgeable, welcoming and helpful. The food was 5 star gourmet and delicious. The wines from Upstate NY were a good selection and we had a very good Cabernet. We will definitely dine here again when in the area.

The staff is very knowledgeable and the food is out of this world!

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!!
Wait staff was very accommodating!
Meal was better than anticipated.
Thank you!
We will return!

Good bartender and servers, amazing food. Overall worth the price. I make sure I visit this place once a month. Really a gem of a place in Utica.

Went for Valentines Weekend and just as the 20 other times I have dined there it was awesome. We had a small issue with one of our entrees which was more than corrected and thanked for our feedback. We had Emily as our server and as I called him bread and butter guy helping us out they were both super, almost like they know when you need something. Just a great place that we are lucky to have in the valley

I have dined here several times. The food has always been superb. The timing of the dishes coming out are right on time, you have enough time to savor the dish before the next course coming out, without waiting long periods of time for the next course. The tables are quite close to each other due to the restaurant having a small footprint. Ambience is that of an old brick factory. Noise levels can get a little loud due to the small space and hard walls. All around it is a nice place to have a date night. Most if not all there foods are locally obtained.

Great meal and Service

Previously provided in detail.

EXCEPTIONAL in every way!

I have ordered duck previous visits but this time it was with pickled cabbage . Not a fan . I ordered a red wine and after eating the cabbage , it tasted sour . I wouldn’t order this particular dish in the future . Other than that , I always enjoy dining at Tailor & the Cook

Great service & amazing food. Can't wait to go back.

Anniversary

Delicious, interesting food, great wine pairings and warm, knowledgeable waitstaff. Loved it!

The best restaurant in Central New York. Locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, innovative preparations, impeccable service, knowledgeable staff.

The food and service is always great here. One of our favorite places to go.

It's a bit pricy but that would be expected. Good place for a special occasion but not a place you would go to multiple times in a year.

Emily was a great server! And the bartenders were very friendly. The restaurant Manager was very welcoming and throughly our dining experience we felt very comfortable and the food was AMAZING! Our go-to date night restaurant

Always a wonderful relaxed meal!! I love this place!

Delicious Food!! Knowledgeable and friendly staff!! Love the menu options and changes with the season! Uses local products!

Amazing! I have been wanting to visit The Tailor and the Cook for some time. I received a gift card for my birthday over 1 year ago and just made it last week. I'm so sorry I waited so long. I can't wait to go back. The Local Mushroom appetizer was one of the best things I have ever tasted. Our entrees' were also superb, I have Filet Au Poivre and my husband had chicken and biscuits. So tasty and so much food I was able to have lunch again the next day. The service was excellent and the restaurant itself was very nice.
5 Stars, I'd give them 6 if I could.

Fantastic food as usual!!!!!! Great food, friendly staff, and a great addition to dining in the Utica area.

The food is consistently superb. Service is impeccable. I am never disappointed!

Tailor and the Cook is the best restaurant around.
