CNY place for lunch?

Hello, Upstate Nesties!! It's been a while since I've popped in to say to hello on this board.

I'm coming up to Syracuse next week.  A friend and I have plans on one of the days to "lunch like old ladies." I'm so out of the loop on restaurants that are open for lunch. Willing to drive to Skaneatles or Caz or similar distance. No budget in mind. Any recommendations for a place to have a nice, tasty lunch? TIA.

Re: CNY place for lunch?

  • The best one that comes to mind for a girl's lunch is Bittersweet in Armory Square.  It's a wine & desert bar... but they do serve light lunches (or you could skip real food and just indulge... either way you'll be happy).

    Dino BBQ is also a Syracuse classic.

    Lemongrass, Empire, PJ's... all Armory Square... so yummy!

    Francesca's in Little Italy is delicious!!!  And this time of year their patio is perfect!

  • Thanks, Monica.  Dino is always on my list when I visit. I usually eat my way through Syracuse when I am there!

    I was thinking something a little nice, maybe a bit more upscale. Hmm, the last place I went was at the restaurant at Mirbeau, in Skaneatles. Not quite what I had in mind this time.

  • Gotcha... for more upscale I would say definitely Francesca's or maybe even Atilio's... both Italian

    Lemon Grass in Armory Square... bistro type food

    I have heard good things about Opus in Armory Square, but never been there myself.

    ETA: Also, Mohegan Manor and The Inn Between (Camillus area)

  • The Sherwood Inn in Skan, or the Brewster Inn in Caz. Behind the Sherwood is one of the best bakeries ever.

    Excellent ideas.  I had forgotten about the Sherwood Inn. Thanks!
